Description / Abstract:
Scope and field of application
This International Standard specifies a procedure for approximating
the volume of typical materials
contained in the bucket of front end loaders and excavators with front
loading bucket. The volume
ratings are based on the inside dimensions of the bucket and
representative volumes on top of the
bucket.
The method employs the technique of dividing the complex shape of the
material in the bucket into
simple geometric forms to allow volume calculations of different
bucket configurations.
The rating method is intended to provide a consistent means of
comparing bucket capacities. lt is
not intended to define actual capacities that might be observed in any
specific application.
