1. BS 1139-1.2:1990 Metal scaffolding. Tubes. Specification for aluminium tube;
2. BS 1139-2.1:1991, EN 74:1988 Metal scaffolding. Couplers. Specification for steel couplers, loose spigots and base-plates for use in working scaffolds and falsework made of steel tubes;
This British Standard specifies the requirements for materials and design, and test procedures and methods, for couplers, loose spigots and base-plates used for connecting steel tubes of 48.3 mm outside diameter and of at least 3.2 mm nominal wall thickness at a minimum in the construction of working scaffolds and falsework required for the construction, maintenance, repair and demolition of buildings and structures.
When no alteration has been made to the design, material or surface treatment of a type of coupler which has been approved as a prototype according to this British Standard, the assessment of subsequent production is made by comparison with the requirements given in this standard.
Some significant points about this Section of BS 1139 to which attention is drawn are the following.
a) Other scaffold couplers and fittings commonly in use in the UK are dealt with in BS 1139-2.2.
b) For right-angle and friction type sleeve couplers there are now two load classes.
c) The minimum permissible base-plate area is now a little smaller.
d) Load bearing parallel couplers are now specified.
e) There is an increased minimum yield strength requirement on all coupler fasteners (typically bolts) together with a restricted torque tightening/wedge range.
f) The philosophy of testing has been changed to verify an individual coupler design and facilitate on-going quality assurance.
g) Additional information is required to be marked on all products.
h) There is limited information on hexagon sizes. The United Kingdom scaffolding industry generally requires hexagons to be between 20.3 mm and 20.8 mm across flats.
