Study Notes
LEEA Foundation Certificate Overview
- The LEEA Code of Practice (COPSULE) is aligned with legislation for duty holders and work equipment.
- Role of 'Competent Person' involves having the necessary knowledge, experience, and skills for specific duties.
- A 'Competent Person' is accountable for certifying the safety and suitability of lifting equipment.
Competency and Chain Grades
- Original BS grade 40 used a safety factor of 5:1; later changed to 4:1, introducing grades M, S, and T.
- Chain grades signify different heat treatments while maintaining the same breaking strength.
- Medium tolerance and fine tolerance chains were standardized in the late 1980s for slings and hoists.
- Manufacturer's discretion determines component stress levels, not strictly defined by stress levels alone.
Tensile Testing
- Tensile tests reveal material properties such as elastic limit, yield point, and ultimate tensile strength.
- A load/elongation curve plots the material’s behavior under tensile stress until fracture.
- The stress/strain curve includes critical points: Limit of Proportionality, Elastic Limit, Yield Point, Tensile Strength, Ultimate Breaking Stress.
Local Necking
- Local necking occurs when a material under tensile load surpasses its maximum tensile strength, resulting in reduced cross-sectional area.
International System of Units (SI)
- The SI system consists of seven base units; derived units are based on these fundamentals.
- For lifting equipment markings, only one decimal point is used for tonne fractions; exceptions for 0.25 are marked to two decimal places.
Units of Measure
- Common symbol interpretations for units of measure include:
- 'cwt' corresponds to Hundredweight.
- 'T' generally represents Metric Tonne.
Izod Impact Test
- The Izod impact test measures the kinetic energy required to initiate and propagate a fracture in notched specimens.
- Useful for quality control in checking materials for impact toughness.
Bend Test
- A bending test assesses ductility and resistance to fracture by deforming material, typically used for metals and welds.
- It ensures the weld's fusion to the parent metal and checks for defects.
Marking Lifting Equipment
- Marking should be permanent and clearly attached using plates, tabs, or stamps in low-stress areas.
- Procedures for marking must comply with relevant standards to ensure that information remains legible and secure.
