Overview

ISO 2326:1972 defines basic characteristics and dimensional ranges for aeroslides - a type of continuous mechanical handling equipment used to transport loose bulk materials. Published by the International Organization for Standardization and developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 101, this standard provides standardized sizes and key construction features to ensure interchangeability, safe installation, and predictable performance for aeroslide systems.

Key topics and requirements

The standard focuses on measurable characteristics rather than operational procedures. Key technical topics include:

• Dimensional ranges (millimetres):
  • Lengths (l): 1000, 1250, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000
  • Widths (b): 125, 160, 200, 250, 315, 400, 500, 630
  • Heights (h): 126, 160, 200, 250, 315, 400, 500, 630
• Gas-permeable intermediate porous element (A): design requires a permeable element to facilitate air/gas flow. Listed example materials include:
  • fabric
  • ceramic
  • sintered metal
  • compressed material
  • synthetic material
• Inclination (α): the allowable inclination is not a fixed value in the standard; rather it must be determined as a function of the grain size and specific gravity of the material being conveyed. This links mechanical design to material properties.
• Scope limitation: ISO 2326 specifies characteristics and dimensions only - it does not prescribe installation practices, performance testing, or safety procedures beyond dimensional and material recommendations.

Applications

ISO 2326 is directly relevant to the design, specification, manufacture, procurement, and asset management of aeroslides used to move loose bulk solids. Typical application areas include:

• bulk material handling in ports, terminals and warehouses
• agricultural and grain-handling systems
• mining and mineral processing plants
• chemical and bulk solids processing facilities
• plants and projects requiring standardized aeroslide components for modularity or replacement

Professionals who would use this standard:

• equipment designers and OEMs
• plant engineers and process designers
• procurement and specification writers
• standards and compliance personnel

Related standards

ISO 2326 was prepared by ISO/TC 101 (Continuous mechanical handling equipment). For comprehensive specification and compliance, use ISO 2326 in conjunction with other ISO and national standards covering mechanical handling safety, installation, performance testing, and material-specific handling guidance.

Keywords: ISO 2326, aeroslides, continuous mechanical handling, loose bulk materials, bulk handling equipment, dimensions, gas-permeable element, porous element.

IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation
of national standards institutes (IS0 Member Bodies). The work of developing
International Standards is carried out through IS0 Technical Committees. Every
Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set
up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated
to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International
Standards by the IS0 Council,
International Standard IS0 2326 was drawn up by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 101, Continuous mechanical handling equipment.
It was approved in October 1971 by the Member Bodies of the following
