What is BS 5822 - Specifications for agricultural discs about?
BS 5822 is an international standard that covers the specifications for agricultural discs, enabling interchangeability for a minimum number of types and sizes of disks to meet the requirements of a wide range of conditions of work.
BS 5822 specifies three types of disks. This division into distinct designs of disks was found to be preferable to classification according to use with a particular implement, because of lack of clear demarcation in usage of the various designs.
BS 5822 specifies interchangeability dimensions for agricultural disks of the same type and nominal size, classified as types A, B and C.
Who is BS 5822 - Specifications for agricultural discs for?
BS 5822 on the specifications for agricultural discs applies to:
- Manufacturers of agricultural discs
- Dealers and importers of agricultural discs
- Testing houses and labs for agricultural discs
- Quality assurance services
Why should you use BS 5822 - Specifications for agricultural discs?
Agricultural flat disks can be classified into three categories, namely: flat disks, concave disks and concave disks with a flat area around the centre hole square. Interchangeability between disks enables flexibility in agricultural operations.
BS 5822 provides users guidance on the dimensional aspect of concave disks and variants including, nominal diameter, size of square hole, diameter of round hole, radius of concavity, height of concavity and thickness, enabling the standardization of disks as per use case.
BS 5822 provides users guidance on field of application, reference, classification, specification and dimensions to ensure interchangeability for a minimum number of types and sizes of disks to meet the requirements of a wide range of conditions of work.
With obedience and compliance to BS 5822, users can assess and classify between agricultural discs, enabling interchangeability for a minimum number of types and sizes of disks in agricultural applications.
