FOREWORD
This American National Standard, Safety Standard for Cableways, Cranes, Derricks, Hoists, Hooks, Jacks, and Slings, has been developed under the procedures accredited by the American National Standards Institute (formerly the United States of America Standards Institute). This Standard had its beginning in December 1916 when an eight-page Code of Safety Standards for Cranes, prepared by an ASME Committee on the Protection of Industrial Workers, was presented to the annual meeting of the ASME. Meetings and discussions regarding safety on cranes, derricks, and hoists were held from 1920 to 1925, involving: the ASME Safety Code Correlating Committee, the Association of Iron and Steel Electrical Engineers, the American Museum of Safety, the American Engineering Standards Committee (later changed to American Standards Association and subsequently to the USA Standards Institute), Department of Labor — State of New Jersey, Department of Labor and Industry — State of Pennsylvania, and the Locomotive Crane Manufacturers Association. On June 11, 1925, the American Engineering Standards Committee approved the ASME Safety Code Correlating Committee’s recommendation and authorized the project, with the U.S. Department of the Navy, Bureau of Yards and Docks, and ASME as sponsors. In March 1926, invitations were issued to 50 organizations to appoint representatives to a Sectional Committee. The call for organization of this Sectional Committee was sent out October 2, 1926, and the committee organized November 4, 1926, with 57 members representing 29 national organizations. The Safety Code for Cranes, Derricks, and Hoists, ASA B30.2-1943, was created from the eight-page document referred to in the first paragraph. This document was reaffirmed in 1952 and widely accepted as a safety standard. Due to changes in design, advancement in techniques, and general interest of labor and industry in safety, the Sectional Committee, under the joint sponsorship of ASME and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, U.S. Department of the Navy, was reorganized as an American National Standards Committee on January 31, 1962, with 39 members representing 27 national organizations. The format of the previous code was changed so that separate standards (each complete as to construction and installation; inspection, testing, and maintenance; and operation) will cover the different types of equipment included in the scope of B30. In 1982, the Committee was reorganized as an Accredited Organization Committee, operating under procedures developed by the ASME and accredited by the American National Standards Institute. This Standard presents a coordinated set of rules that may serve as a guide to government and other regulatory bodies and municipal authorities responsible for the guarding and inspection of the equipment falling within its scope. The suggestions leading to accident prevention are given both as mandatory and advisory provisions; compliance with both types may be required by employers of their employees. In case of practical difficulties, new developments, or unnecessary hardship, the administrative or regulatory authority may grant variances from the literal requirements or permit the use of other devices or methods, but only when it is clearly evident that an equivalent degree of protection is thereby secured. To secure uniform application and interpretation of this Standard, administrative or regulatory authorities are urged to consult the B30 Committee, in accordance with the format described in Section IX, before rendering decisions on disputed points. This Volume of the Standard, contains revisions including making maintenance mandatory and other changes to improve clarity and definitions which was approved by the B30 Committee and by ASME, was approved by ANSI and designated as an American National Standard on December 1, 2006.TBD Safety codes and standards are intended to enhance public safety. Revisions result from committee consideration of factors such as technological advances, new data, and changing environmental and industry needs. Revisions do not imply that previous editions were inadequate. v

damage the load. (c) Load Surface Conditions. Uneven or rough surfaces may affect the vacuum pads ability to attach or maintain a seal. Frictional properties may affect the capacity. (d) Load overhang. As the load extends past the supports of the vacuum pads the load may be damaged or deflect and peel away from the pad seal. (e) Angle of the Load. The coefficient of friction between the load and vacuum pad becomes significant when the load is not horizontal. (f) Number of pads attached to the load. The capacity varies with the number of pads fully attached to the load. (g) Load Temperature. Elevated temperatures may damage the vacuum pads or affect the function of the pads. (h) Elevation and vacuum level. The vacuum pad rating varies with the vacuum level achieved under the pads. If the vacuum level decreases from the vacuum level used for capacity calculations, the ultimate pad capacity is reduced. At various elevations, the vacuum level
magnet's available flux flows into the load and the lift capacity reaches maximum. (b) Load Alloy. Many alloys of iron do not accept magnetic flux as easily as do low carbon steels. Consequently, loads of such alloys will not accept all of the flux available in the lifting magnet, which reduces the lifting magnet's lift capacity. (c) Load Surface Conditions. Anything that creates an air gap or nonmagnetic separation between a lifting magnet and the load reduces the flux flowing from the lifting magnet into the load, which reduces the lifting capacity of a lifting magnet. . A rough surface finish, paper, dirt, rust, paint, and scale produce such gaps. (d) Load Length or Width. As the length or width of the load increases, the load begins to deflect and to peel at the lifting magnet face. This may create an air gap between the load and the lifting magnet, which reduces the lifting capacity per (c) above. (e) Attitude of Load. As the attitude of the surface of the load to which a lifting magnet is attached (lifting surface) changes from horizontal to vertical, the lifting capacity of the lifting magnet reaches a 3
thickness where all of the lifting magnet's available flux flows into the load and the lift capacity reaches maximum. (b) Load Alloy. Many alloys of iron do not accept magnetic flux as easily as do low carbon steels. Consequently, loads of such alloys will not accept all of the flux available in the lifting magnet, which reduces the lifting magnet's lift capacity. (c) Load Surface Conditions.

The full face of the lifting magnet must contact the load if the lifting magnet is to achieve maximum capabilities. (g) Load Temperature. The temperature of the load can cause damage to the lifting magnet and, if high enough, even change the magnetic characteristics of the load. Consequently, the manual shall contain the manufacturer's recommendations pertaining to operation of the lifting magnet on loads at temperatures exceeding normal ambient temperatures.

08-961 B30.20 Definitions November 17, 2008 addition of comma per September 2008 Minutes.
Change the following definitions in SECTION 20-0.4: Definitions For Chapter 20-2
vacuum lifter: a below-the-hook lifting device for lifting and transporting loads in a fixed attitude using a holding force by means of vacuum (see Fig. 6). Rationale: The current definitions of “vacuum lifter” and “vacuum manipulator” in B30.20 are contradictory. A “vacuum manipulator” is defined as “a vacuum lifter capable of repositioning the load while suspended”, but a vacuum lifter is by definition used in a fixed attitude. This proposal is to make “vacuum lifter” the allencompassing term, and “vacuum manipulator” a sub-set of vacuum lifter. This change will also make B30.20 and the 2008 edition of BTH definitions consistent. vacuum reservoir: the evacuated portion of the vacuum system, whose which functions is to compensate for leakage into the vacuum system or to provide a vacuum reserve in the event of vacuum generator failure. Rationale: A grammatical correction.
