DEFINITIONS

STATIC LOAD – The load resulting from a constant applied force or load.

WORKING LOAD LIMIT – The maximum mass or force which the product is authorized to support in general service when the pull is applied in-line, unless noted otherwise, with respect to the centerline of the product. This term is used interchangeably with the following terms: WLL, Rated Load Value, Resultant Working Load.

WORKING LOAD – The maximum mass or force which the product is authorized to support in a particular service.

PROOF LOAD – The average force applied in the performance of a proof test; the average force to which a product may be subjected before deformation occurs.

PROOF TEST – A test applied to a product solely to determine injurious material or manufacturing defects.

ULTIMATE LOAD – The average load or force at which the product fails or no longer supports the load. Interchangeable with Ultimate Strength.

SHOCK LOAD – A force that results from the rapid application of a force (such as impacting or jerking) or rapid movement of a static load. A shock load significantly adds to the static load.

DESIGN FACTOR – An industry term denoting a product’s theoretical reserve capability; usually computed by dividing the catalog ultimate load by the Working Load Limit. Generally expressed as a ratio, e.g., 5 to 1.

COMMERCIAL SURFACE QUALITY – The surface condition of the products shown in this catalog. The surface condition associated with the normal methods of production of raw material and machined surfaces. More refined surface qualities are considered as special.

ADJUSTED WORKING LOAD LIMIT – The reduced maximum mass or force which the product is authorized to support for specific non-standard loading applications.
