BS 6114:1987

This standard BS 6114:1987 Method for measurement of volumetric ratings of elevating scrapers used for earth-moving is classified in these ICS categories:

• 53.100 Earth-moving machinery

This International Standard specifies a procedure for approximating the volume of a typical material carried in the bowl of an elevating scraper. The volumes are based on the inside dimensions of the bowl and a representative volume on top of the bowl. This rating method is intended to provide a consistent means of comparing capacities; it is not intended to define actual capacities that might be observed in any specific application.

Method of measuring the capacity of an elevating scraper bowl so as to provide a consistent means of comparing capacities.
