ASME B29.17M-1998 (R2013)

Steel hinge type flat top conveyor chains: a series of steel (carbon or stainless) flat surfaces of various widths as specified herein made integral with hinge-like barrels on each side. These barrels are designed to interlace so that pins inserted through the holes formed by the barrels connect adjacent links, thus forming a continuous length of flat top conveyor chain free to flex in one direction. Pins are retained by press fit and/or heading with respect to the barrels of one link while being a free or slip fit with respect to the interlaced barrels of the adjacent link. The chain so formed is driven by meshing the curl outside diameters with sprocket teeth. Plastic hinge type flat top conveyor chains: similar to steel type flat top chains except that the chain links are molded of plastic material. Pins are usually made of stainless steel and may be retained by press fit or knurls. 2.1 Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength (M.U.T.S.) Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength (M.U.T.S.) for chain covered by this Standard is the minimum force at which an unused, undamaged chain could fail when subjected to a single tensile loading test.
