EN 13411-6:2004+A1:2008 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is a Type C Standard as stated in EN 1070. This European Standard has been prepared to provide a means of conforming with the essential requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA regulations. Purchasers ordering to this standard are advised to specify in their purchasing contract that the supplier operates an independently verified quality assurance system to ensure themselves that products claimed to comply consistently achieve the required level of quality. The wedge sockets concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this Type C standard are different from those which are stated in Type A or B standards, the provisions of this Type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for asymmetric wedge sockets that have been designed and produced according to the provisions of this Type C standard.

EN 13411-6:2004+A1:2008 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements, for asymmetrical wedge socket terminations for stranded steel wire ropes. Examples of the construction and sizes of two separate designs of asymmetric wedge sockets are given in informative annexes A and B. The informative annex C gives recommendations for safe use and inspection. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to asymmetric wedge sockets for terminations for steel wire ropes, when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. This standard applies to terminations of steel wire ropes with asymmetrical wedge sockets which are manufactured after the date of its publication. This standard does not cover rope fatigue. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

3.2 socket body principal component of a wedge socket termination having an internal tapered form (see Figure 1) suitable for receiving a wedge (see 3.3) and the rope with which the wedge is associated 3.3 wedge flat tapered component with peripheral groove, suitable for fitting into a tapered socket body to accommodate a rope of matching nominal diameter, see Figure 1 SIST EN 13411-6:2004+A1:2008

In particular hazards caused by accidental release of a load, or release of a load due to failure of an asymmetric wedge socket puts at risk, either directly or indirectly, the safety or health of those persons within the hazard zone. Errors in the fitting of accessories can also lead to premature failure and this standard contains dimensional requirements to allow correct fit. Table 1 contains those hazards that require action to reduce risk identified by risk assessment as being specific and significant for asymmetric wedge sockets.

EN 13411-6:2004+A1:2008 (E) 9 6 Verification of safety requirements 6.1 Qualifications of personnel All testing and examination shall be carried out by a competent person. 6.2 Type testing 6.2.1 General Two type tests shall be carried out for each requirement, in accordance with 6.2.2 to 6.2.5, on assembled terminations of each design, material and method of manufacture, using the highest minimum breaking force of rope for which the socket is designed. If the four requirements tests are carried out using the same socket body, wedge and pin, they shall be conducted in the order of termination and wedge security, deformation, fatigue and tensile efficiency testing, renewing the rope as necessary. The testing machine shall conform to the requirements of EN ISO 7500-1. If the dimensional criteria or the chemical composition, or heat treatment of the socket body and pin are subsequently varied outside the usual manufacturing tolerances, the type tests shall be repeated.
6.2.2 Termination and wedge security test Subject the assembled termination to a load of 20% of the minimum breaking force of the rope, sustain this load for an initial period to allow settlement of the termination, then continue to sustain for a further 2 min before removing the load. 6.2.3 Deformation test The termination shall be further loaded until this load reaches a value equal to 40% of the minimum breaking force of the rope. The load shall then be removed, the termination dismantled and the socket body and pin examined for permanent deformation. 6.2.4 Fatigue test The test shall be carried out on an in-line tensile fatigue machine. The termination shall be prevented from rotating and the test shall consist of the application of the cycle force from 15% to 30% of the minimum breaking force of the rope along the rope axis for 75000 cycles. The frequency of the force shall not exceed 5 Hz. The component parts shall be submitted to either dye penetrant or magnetic particle inspection in accordance with EN 1369 or EN 1371-1 both before and after the fatigue test to enable any crack initiation and propagation as a result of fatigue to be readily identified. NOTE More than one rope may be required to enable the socket body to achieve 75000 cycles. 6.2.5 Tensile efficiency test Subject the assembled termination to an initial load of 60% of the minimum breaking force of the rope, then increasing this load at a rate of not more than 0,5% of the breaking force per second.
The test shall be continued until either rope slip or breakage occurs.
If terminations are tested in pairs, the distance between the inner faces of the socket bodies shall be at least 30 d. SIST EN 13411-6:2004+A1:2008



EN 13411-6:2004+A1:2008 (E) 10 6.2.6 Charpy impact test Charpy V-notch impact tests shall be carried out in accordance with EN 10045-1 on materials of socket bodies and pins of all sizes. Three samples shall be tested at a temperature of -20 °C. For tests where the size of socket body is too small to provide a suitable test piece, tests may be carried out on sample material which shall be of the same specification and heat treatment. 6.2.7 Acceptance criteria for type testing 6.2.7.1 Termination and wedge security, deformation, fatigue and efficiency tests Should one sample fail these tests, and on examination it is found to be due to a material defect in the socket body or pin, the manufacturing process shall be re-examined and amended to eliminate such defects. After which a further two terminations of the same size, design and material content shall be tested. If these pass, then the termination shall be deemed to have passed the type test. If one or both fail the re-test, or one or both terminations fail the original tests due to its design, the terminations shall be deemed to have failed the type test. 6.2.7.2 Charpy impact tests If the average of the three test values and the three individual test values are equal to or greater than the values specified in 5.3.5 the wedge socket of the size submitted for type testing shall be deemed to conform to this European Standard.
If one sample fails to meet the specified individual value or if the average of the three individual values fails to meet the specified average value, two further samples shall be taken and both shall pass the individual value test and the average of the five samples shall pass the average test in order for the respective component of the size submitted for type testing to be deemed to conform to this European Standard. If two or three samples fail to meet the specified individual value, the respective component of the size submitted for type testing shall be deemed not to conform to this European Standard. 6.3 Manufacturing tests 6.3.1 Manufacturing proof test The socket body and pin shall be subjected to the manufacturing proof force equal to a load of 40% of the highest minimum breaking force of rope for which the socket is designed. This shall be sustained without deviating
