Standard Specification for Live Line and Measuring Telescoping Tools
ABSTRACT
This specification covers mechanical and electrical testing and acceptance criteria for live line and measuring telescoping tools. It shall be used for design, routine, and acceptance testing. It does not cover multiple section or extendable section clampsticks. Mechanical test methods shall include horizontal bending deflection test, free fall impact test, tension test, and vertical deflection test. Measuring device tool need not to comply with mechanical strength requirements of this specification. Electrical test methods shall include electrical design test and electrical withstand test.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers mechanical and electrical testing and acceptance criteria for telescoping live line tools.
1.1.1 A tool designed only for use as a measuring device need not comply with mechanical strength requirements of this specification.
1.2 The use and maintenance of this equipment is beyond the scope of this specification.
1.3 This specification does not cover multiple section or extendable section clampsticks.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains to Section 9 only. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

of the tool shall not be restricted or slowed. The tool shall not collapse or reveal significant signs of damage to the lock devices
and shall display no sign of cracking of the FRP tubes. See Fig. 2.
9.3.3 Tension Test—When extended to the maximum length, a telescoping live line tool shall withstand a tensile load of 136.36
kg (300 lb) along its axis for 10 min without damage. The tool shall not elongate or show any sign of deterioration.
