What is BS 6913-13 - Nipple-type lubrication fittings for earth-moving machinery about?
Earthmoving equipment is heavy equipment, typically heavy-duty vehicles designed for construction operations that involve earthworks. BS 6913-13 is an International Standard that discusses the operation and maintenance of earth-moving machinery.
BS 6913-13 is the 13th part of the multi-series that specifies nipple-type lubrication fittings, for the types of earth-moving machinery defined in ISO 6165, and the space required to service these fittings.
Who is BS 6913-13 - Nipple-type lubrication fittings for earth-moving machinery for?
BS 6913-13 on nipple-type lubrication fittings for earth-moving machinery is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of earthmoving machinery
- Product design engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- Owners and operators of earthmoving machinery
- Contractors
- Project managers
- Maintenance crews
- Quality control and testing personnel
Why should you use BS 6913-13 - Nipple-type lubrication fittings for earth-moving machinery?
Lubrication fittings are used where there is a high frequency of greasing and/or direct contact with soil or sand shall have their heads surface hardened.
BS 6913-13 provides guidance on material, design and manufacture dimensions, shape, dimensions and tolerances, and proof pressure of lubrication fittings. BS 6913-13 guides you with the required ambient space at the mounting position of lubrication fittings.
BS 6913-13 helps to mitigate risks to during the operations and maintenance of earthmoving equipment, ensuring that projects proceed smoothly and without delays due to machinery breakdowns.
