Spojke, vezne centične spojke in podnožne plošče za delovne in nosilne odre - 2. del: Specialne spojke - Zahteve in preskusni postopki

Standard EN 74-2 določa:
–   materiale,
–   zahteve glede izvedbe,
–   določene vrednosti za odpornost in togost, ki jih mora spojka doseči med preskušanjem,
–   preskusne postopke in ocenjevanje
za naslednje specialne spojke:
–   vijačne ali klinaste polspojke, objemne spojke s strižnim zatičem, pravokotne redukcijske spojke in vrtljive redukcijske spojke.
Podaja priporočila za nadzor proizvodnje v teku.
Te spojke so namenjene uporabi predvsem pri začasnih delih. Posamezno spojko je mogoče pritrditi na vsaj eno stran cevi iz jekla ali aluminija s premerom 48,3 mm. Za drugo stran redukcijskih spojk ta standard določa zahteve glede premera in debeline sten cevi.
Za namene preskušanja so vijačne spojke zategnjene z navorom 50 Nm, klinaste spojke pa do mejne točke z uporabo kladiva 500 g.
Druge specialne spojke (npr. polspojke, pritrjene s kovičenjem), ki se uporabljajo predvsem za elemente predizdelanih nosilnih odrov, ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta.
OPOMBA:   Informacije o izvedbi z uporabo specialnih spojk so podane v dodatku B.

2) requirement for welded half coupler HW class B changed;
3) in addition, editorial changes are made.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,

Introduction
This is the second of three parts of a standard for couplers.
The first part, EN 74-1 covers common types of friction couplers.
This second part, EN 74-2 deals with other less common types couplers.
The third part, EN 74-3 deals with plain base plates and loose spigot pins.
This document is not intended to prevent the development of other types of couplers. For example,
couplers can be manufactured in aluminium alloys or other materials or be designed for use with steel or
aluminium tubes with outside diameters different from those specified in this document. Whilst such
couplers cannot comply with this document, it is recommended that the principles of this document are
considered in their design and assessment.
The couplers specified in this document are intended for use in temporary works, for example, scaffolds
erected in accordance with EN 12811-1 and falsework erected in accordance with EN 12812.
NOTE In the text of this document, the term “loose spigot” is used instead of the “spigot pin” in the title.
1 Scope
This document specifies:
— materials;
— design requirements;
— specified values for resistances and stiffnesses which a coupler has to achieve under test;
— test procedures and assessment;
for the following special couplers:
— screw or wedge half couplers, sleeve couplers with shear studs, right angle reduction couplers and
swivel reduction couplers.
It gives recommendations for ongoing production control.
These couplers are for use principally in temporary works. Each coupler is able to be fixed to at least one
side to one 48,3 mm diameter steel or aluminium tube. For the other side of reduction couplers, this
document specifies requirements for the diameter and wall thickness of tubes.
Other special half couplers such as half couplers attached by riveting, used mainly for prefabricated
members of scaffolds, are outside the scope of this document.
NOTE Information on design using special couplers is given in Annex B.
