Description / Abstract:
Scope and field of application
This International Standard specifies a procedure for calculating the
volume of dozer blades. It is
intended to be used for consistent comparisons of dozer blade
capacities presented in commerciaI
literature for tractors, as defined in ISO 6165. It is not to be used
for predicting productivity
of tractor dozers in actual field conditions or that might be observed
in any specific
applications. Such determinations need to consider other parameters,
such as efficiency of the
blade, tractor power, tractive effort, soil properties, terrain,
operator technique and duty cycle.
This International Standard applies to all types of dozers that are
mounted on all tractors defined
in ISO 6747. This includes straight, angling, semi-U-, and U-blade
configurations. It is assumed
that the blade face is flat and vertical; the blade included volume is
not considered (see figure
1).
