This Malaysian Standard prescribes the size ranges, performance and certain mechanical features, including the provision of suitable earth conductor connecting facilities, of metal clamps and clips used to connect the earth or bonding conductor of an electrical installation to cylindrical surfaces such as metal pipes and metal cable sheaths.
NOTE. The term ‘clamp' as used throughout this specification includes ‘clip’.
Provision is made for clamps suitable for pipes and cables of external diameters from 11 mm to 05 mm.
Some typical designs of earth clamps are shown in appendix C.
Clamps fabricated on site for special applications, or clamps intended for pipes outside the diameters listed in clause 5. or clamps for fitting to other than cylindrical shapes, are not covered by the dimensional and marking requirements of this specification, but such clamps shall comply, as far as practicable, with the relevant material, performance and test requirements specified herein.
