BS 1139-1.2:1990
Foreword
This Section of BS 1139 has been prepared under the direction of the Civil
Engineering and Building Structures Standards Policy Committee. Together
with Section 1.1, it supersedes BS 1139-1:1982, which is withdrawn.
This Section of BS 1139 is one of a series specifying requirements for the design,
construction and testing of equipment for use in scaffolding and other temporary
structures. It specifies requirements for aluminium tubing of the type
traditionally used in tube and fitting scaffolding.
The need for this new edition arose because of the advent of European proposals
covering steel scaffold tube, whereas any such action for aluminium tubes is
further away. Steel tubing is now covered in BS 1139-1.1. This Section retains the
style and technical content of the 1982 edition, and is substantially the same as
the 1964 version.
The separate Parts and Sections are as follows.
— Part 1: Tubes;
— Section 1.1: Specification for steel tubes;
— Section 1.2: Specification for aluminium tube;
— Part 2: Couplers;
— Section 2.1: Specification for steel couplers, loose spigots and base plates for
use in working scaffolds and falsework made of steel tubes
(Identical with EN 74);
— Section 2.21): Specification for aluminium couplers, fittings and accessories
