Overview
ISO 8116-1:1995 - Textile machinery and accessories - Beams for winding - Part 1: General vocabulary defines the general vocabulary and the structural framework for beams used in winding operations in the textile industry. This second edition replaces the 1985 edition and serves as the foundational reference for terminology and classification of beams (warper’s, weaver’s, knitter’s, sectional, dyeing and ribbon beams) used across warp processing, weaving and knitting equipment.
Key topics
- Scope and purpose: Establishes the basic standard vocabulary and the structure for various types of beams for winding rather than dimensional specifications.
- Types of beams: Defines key beam types such as:
- Warper’s beams (back beams)
- Weaver’s beams (full-width, sectional, multiple/parallel)
- Knitter’s beams (full-width, sectional, parallel)
- Dyeing beams for slivers, rovings and yarns
- Beams for ribbon weaving and ribbon knitting
- Beam structure: Illustrates common arrangements and the structural relationship among beam types (full width vs sectional vs parallel/multiple).
- Beam components (parts vocabulary): Standardizes terms for components including:
- Beam barrel (fut d’ensouple)
- Beam flange (joue d’ensouple)
- Bore (circular, square)
- Shaft (pioche), driving hole, mandrel
- Ruffle (pulley face for a brake strap) - terminology used in the document
- Normative references and follow-on parts: Indicates that Part 1 is complemented by subsequent ISO 8116 parts that provide dimensional data, flange quality, run-out tolerances and measurement methods.
Practical applications
- Manufacturers and designers of textile machinery use ISO 8116-1:1995 to ensure consistent terminology across product specifications, drawings and user manuals.
- Procurement, quality and testing teams use the vocabulary to specify beam types and component features unambiguously.
- Maintenance and training staff rely on standardized terms to document procedures and spare-parts lists.
- Standards committees and technical writers use Part 1 as the baseline when developing or referencing more detailed parts (e.g., dimensions, tolerances, flange quality).
