    10.1 Each ramshorn hook shall, after testing, be permanently marked ona non-vital part with the following information:

    a) Safe working load given in Table 1; b) Limiting included angles, that is 0 to 90; andc) Distinguishing marks or symbols as will allow identification with

    the manufacturer's certificate of test and examination.10.1.1 Th e ramshorn hooks, may also be marked with the ISI

    Certification Mark. NOTE The use of t he ISI Certi fication Mark is governed by the provisions of the

    Indian S tandards Insti tution ( Certification Marks ) Act, and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder Presence of this mark on products covered by an IndianSta ndar d conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the

    requirement s of that standard, under a well-defined system of inspection, testing andquality control during production . This svstem, which is devised and supervised byISI and operated by the produce r, has the further safeguard that t he products asactually marketed are continuously checked by ISI for conformity to the standa rd.Details of condi tions , under which a licence for the use of the ISI Certification Markmay be grant ed to man ufa ctu res or processors, may be obtained from the India nStandards Institution

    INFORMATION TO BE SUPPLIED WITH ENQUIRY AND ORDER

    The enquiry and order should state:a) safe working load,

    b) form of screw thread,c) length of shank,d) method of manufacture, ande) further tests or chemical analysis required.

    THRUST BEARINGS FOR RAMSHORN HOOKS

    B-1. Up to 125 tonnes capacity, standard single thrust ball bearings may be obtained. With the majority of ball thrust bearings, it is generallyfound necessary to locate the bearings on spigots or recesses on the hooknut and crosshead.

    B-2. For hooks above 125 tonnes capacity, tapered roller or specialthrust ball bearings are recommended. The bearing manufacturer should be consulted for suitable sizes.

    B-3. When mounting single thrust ball bearings, care should be taken thatthe race does not take excessive horizontal load due to clearance betweenthe ramshorn hook shank and the bore of the crosshead.

    (Clause 0.5)RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE USE OF RAMSHORN HOOKS

    D-1 . Th e ramsh orn hooks covered b y this sta nda rd should not be upg rad edfor use wi th slings at inc lude d angl es less th an 90, as the cap aci ty of thehook is also gove rned by the permi ssible stress in the sha nk. ( Ad va nt ag ecan not therefore be taken of the increased body streng th wh en the incl udedsling angles are less than 90. )

    D-2. Ra ms ho rn hooks should not be used with sling legs at excessi veangl es, since the stress in the bod y of the hook will incre ase at a gre at errate than that in the sling leg. (T ab le s of ang ula r lo ading on slings will

    not therefore be equally applicable to the loading on the ramshorn hooks. )D-3. For heavy an d bulk y loads, it is preferable to use a lifting be amsus pen ded from t he hook by tw o pairs of links at fixed ce nt re s, thecen tres of the link pins on the b eam b eing slightly grea ter th an the cen tre sof the bed di ame ter s of the hoo k.

    D-4. An appr opri ate included angle betw een the link plat es would be ofthe orde r of 30. Wi th so small an inc lud ed ang le, the stress red uc ti onfactor for the hook body is less than one-half.

    D-5 . To avoid the dan ger of overloa ding indivi dual link plates a nd theirassoc iate d link pins , due to th e possible tiltin g of th e be am an d thecons eque nt out-of-balance effect, link plate assembl ies should be desig nedwith an ample margin of safety.

    D-6 . When using lifting beams, their length can be arranged to takevarying centres of slings to suit the loads an d ensure true bal anc ing. Tr ue

    balancing is es se nt ia l in orde r that the hook may ro tate freely under loa dwhen required.

    D-7. Wh en lifting bulky loads wher e the centr e of gravity is not cen tra l between the po in ts of sli ng ing , it is desi ra ble to ad ju st the leng th of theslings so tha t the cen tre of gravi ty of the load is i mme dia te ly below thecentre line of the hook.

    D-8. In order to red uce t he effort requ ired to rota te the hook when lo ade d,it is recommended that the hook be carried on a ball or roller thrust

    bearing ( see Appendix B ).

    D-9 . Wh en sling angles app roach the limiting inc lude d angle for whichthe hook i s des ign ed, it is n ecessa ry to tak e ca re tha t nei the r of the tw ohorn s is s ubje cted to a load exce eding o ne-ha lf of the safe worki ng loadof the hook, since the stress red uct ion factor would the n be nearl y uni ty,an d any out-o f-bala nce effect could over load one of the horn s. Wh e nlifting loads just within the capa city of the hook, extre me care is neededin this respect.
