Section 296-155-36309. Power loads.
Latest version.
- (1) Identification of cased power loads. Cased power loads must be coded to identify power load levels by case color and power load color as specified in Table G-1.(2) Identification of caseless power loads. Caseless power loads must be coded to identify power load levels by power load color as specified in Table G-1 and by configuration.(3) Power load use limitation. No power load (cased or caseless) must be used if it will properly chamber in any existing commercially available tool and will cause a fastener to have a test velocity in excess of the maximum test velocities specified for the said tool.(4) Identification of power load packages. Power load packages must provide a visual number-color indication of the power level of the power load as specified in Table G-1.TABLE G-1Power Load IdentificationNote:The nominal velocity applies to a 9.53 mm (3/8-in) diameter 22.7-gram (350-grain) ballistic slug fired in a test device and has no reference to actual fastener velocity developed in any specific tool.(5) Optional power load variation. Where means other than power loads of varying power levels are to be used to control penetration, such means must provide an equivalent power level variation.
