What is BS 9220 - Rigid waveguide tubing specification about?
BS 9220 discusses specifications for rigid waveguide tubing of assessed quality. Rigid waveguide tubing employ waveguides to transmit microwave power to temper, dry, cook, and heat materials. BS 9220 gives details of test requirements and other general information relating to rigid waveguide tubing of assessed quality of the following types:
- Ordinary rectangular waveguide.
- Rectangular waveguide with circular outside
- Cross-section.
- Medium flat waveguide.
- Flat rectangular waveguide.
- Circular waveguide.
- Ridged waveguide.
- Square waveguide.
BS 9220 is intended to be read in conjunction with BS 9000 and with the relevant detail specifications which give the dimensions, ratings, and test requirements for specific types. Rules governing the contents and presentation of the detailed specifications, for use by BSI technical panels or parts manufacturers, are given in Section 2 and the appendices to BS 9220.
Who is BS 9220 - Rigid waveguide tubing specification for?
BS 9220 on rigid waveguide tubing specification is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS 9220 - Rigid waveguide tubing specification?
Given that cost can be a driving factor, rigid waveguides are used more commonly than flex in industrial microwave systems. The purpose of BS 9220 is to indicate the manner in which the information contained in Section 1 is incorporated into the individual detail specifications. In addition, BS 9220 specifies the minimum mandatory tests which are required for each application class (i.e., general, special, and commercial) together with the inspection procedure.
The object of BS 9220 is to describe the range of sizes of a particular type of waveguide tubing and to state the requirements and test limits for acceptance inspection. All detail specifications are printed on international A4 size paper conforming to BS 400013. The front page of BS 9220 contains as a minimum the information required by BS 9220. Using BS 9220 you can understand the details of test requirements and other general information relating to rigid waveguide tubing of assessed quality.
