BS 6913-3:1998

What is BS 6913-3 - tractor-dozer cutting edges shapes and dimensions about?   

Earthmoving equipment speeds up civil engineering or building projects and reduces the amount of manpower needed. BS 6913-3 is an International Standard that discusses the operation and maintenance of earth-moving machinery. 

BS 6913-3 is the third part of the multi-series that specifies:  

• The principal shapes and dimensions of the cross-section 
• The hole location for the mounting bolts 
• The shapes and dimensions of holes for the mounting bolts 

for cutting used on tractor-dozers, graders, and scrapers, as defined in ISO 6165, taking interchangeability into consideration. 

Who is BS 6913-3 - tractor-dozer cutting edges shapes and dimensions for?  

BS 6913-3 on tractor-dozer cutting edges shapes and dimensions is useful for:  

• Manufacturers and suppliers of earthmoving machinery  
• Product design engineers  
• Mechanical engineers  
• Project managers   
• Maintenance crews  
• Quality control and testing personnel  

Why should you use BS 6913-3 - tractor-dozer cutting edges shapes and dimensions?   

For earthmoving machinery such as tractor dozers, graders, and scrapers to perform optimally, their cutting edges need to be precisely proportioned. 

BS 6913-3 provides guidance on cross-sections of cutting edges - principal shapes and basic dimensions, mounting bolts - hole locations, mounting bolt holes - shapes and dimensions. 

BS 6913-3 helps to mitigate risks to life and property during the operations and maintenance of earthmoving equipment, ensuring that projects proceed smoothly and without accidents.
