Small craft - Hull construction and scantlings - Part 8: Rudders (ISO 12215-8:2009, including Cor 1:2010)

This part of ISO 12215 gives requirements on the scantlings of rudders fitted to small craft with a length of hull,
LH, of up to 24 m, measured according to ISO 8666. It applies only to monohulls.
This part of ISO 12215 does not give requirements on rudder characteristics required for proper steering
capabilities.
This part of ISO 12215 only considers pressure loads on the rudder due to craft manoeuvring. Loads on the
rudder or its skeg, where fitted, induced by grounding or docking, where relevant, are out of scope and need
to be considered separately.
NOTE Scantlings derived from this part of ISO 12215 are primarily intended to apply to recreational craft including
charter craft.

Kleine Wasserfahrzeuge - Rumpfbauweise und Dimensionierung - Teil 8: Ruder (ISO 12215-8:2009, einschließlich Cor 1:2010)

Dieser Teil von ISO 12215 legt die Bestimmungen für die Dimensionierung von Rudern, die an kleinen Wasserfahrzeugen mit einer Rumpflänge (LH) bis 24 m, gemessen nach ISO 8666, befestigt sind, fest. Dieser Teil von ISO 12215 gilt nur für Einrumpf-Wasserfahrzeuge.
Dieser Teil der ISO 12215 enthält keine Anforderungen für Rudereigenschaften zur ordnungsgemäßen Steuerung.
Dieser Teil der ISO 12215 berücksichtigt nur Drucklasten auf das Ruder, die durch das Manövrieren des Fahrzeugs entstehen. Lasten auf dem Ruder oder dem Steg, wo vorhanden, hervorgerufen durch Grundberührung oder Andocken, wo zutreffend, sind außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs und müssen separat berücksichtigt werden.
ANMERKUNG Dimensionierungen, die sich aus diesem Teil von ISO 12215 ergeben, sind in erster Linie für Freizeit-wasserfahrzeuge einschließlich Charterbooten vorgesehen.

Petits navires - Construction de coques et échantillonnage - Partie 8: Gouvernails (ISO 12215-8:2009; y compris Cor 1:2010)

L'ISO 12215-8:2009 prescrit des exigences d'échantillonnage des gouvernails installés sur les petits navires d'une longueur de coque inférieure ou égale à 24 m, mesurées conformément à l'ISO 8666. Elle s'applique uniquement aux monocoques.
L'ISO 12215-8:2009 ne prescrit aucune exigence concernant les caractéristiques du gouvernail nécessaires à une bonne manoeuvrabilité.
L'ISO 12215-8:2009 prend uniquement en compte les charges de pression s'exerçant sur le gouvernail du bateau lors des manoeuvres. Les charges sur le gouvernail ou sur son aileron, lorsqu'il existe, induites par l'échouage ou l'échouement, le cas échant, sont en dehors du domaine d'application et nécessitent d'être prises en compte séparément.
Les échantillonnages établis à l'aide de l'ISO 12215-8:2009 sont principalement destinés à s'appliquer sur les bateaux de plaisance, y compris les bateaux de location ou de «charter».

Mala plovila - Konstrukcija trupa in zahtevane lastnosti - 8. del: Krmila (ISO 12215-8:2009, vključuje popravek Cor 1:2010)

Ta del standarda ISO 12215 podaja zahteve glede zahtevanih lastnosti krmil, ki so nameščena na mala plovila z dolžino trupa (LH) do 24 m, izmerjeno v skladu s standardom ISO 8666. Uporablja se samo za plovila z enim trupom.
Ta del standarda ISO 12215 ne podaja zahteve glede lastnosti krmil, zahtevanih za zagotavljanje ustreznih zmožnosti
krmarjenja.
Ta del standarda ISO 12215 obravnava samo tlačne obremenitve na krmilo zaradi krmarjenja plovila. Obremenitve na krmilo ali njegovo gred (če je nameščena) zaradi pristajanja (kjer je to ustrezno) ne spadajo na področje uporabe in jih je treba obravnavati ločeno.
OPOMBA: Zahtevane lastnosti iz tega dela standarda ISO 12215 so namenjene predvsem za plovila za rekreacijo, vključno s čarterskimi plovili.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies

(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO

technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been

established 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. ISO collaborates closely with the

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards

adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an

International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 12215-8 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 188, Small craft.

ISO 12215 consists of the following parts, under the general title Small craft — Hull construction and

scantlings:

⎯ Part 1: Materials: Thermosetting resins, glass-fibre reinforcement, reference laminate

⎯ Part 2: Materials: Core materials for sandwich construction, embedded materials

⎯ Part 3: Materials: Steel, aluminium alloys, wood, other materials
⎯ Part 4: Workshop and manufacturing

⎯ Part 5: Design pressures for monohulls, design stresses, scantlings determination

⎯ Part 6: Structural arrangements and details
⎯ Part 8: Rudders

Introduction

The reason underlying the preparation of this part of ISO 12215 is that standards and recommended practices

for loads on the hull and the dimensioning of small craft differ considerably, thus limiting the general worldwide

acceptability of craft. This part of ISO 12215 has been set towards the lower boundary range of common

practice.

The objective of this part of ISO 12215 is to achieve an overall structural strength that ensures the watertight

and weathertight integrity of the craft.

The working group considers this part of ISO 12215 to have been developed applying present practice and

sound engineering principles. The design loads and criteria of this part of ISO 12215 may be used with the

scantling determination equations of this part of ISO 12215 or using equivalent engineering methods such as

continuous beam theory, matrix-displacement method and classical lamination theory, as indicated within.

Considering future development in technology and craft types, and small craft presently outside the scope of

this part of ISO 12215, provided that methods supported by appropriate technology exist, consideration may

be given to their use as long as equivalent strength to this part of ISO 12215 is achieved.

The dimensioning according to this part of ISO 12215 is regarded as reflecting current practice, provided the

craft is correctly handled in the sense of good seamanship and equipped and operated at a speed appropriate

to the prevailing sea state.

Small craft — Hull construction and scantlings —
Part 8:
Rudders
1 Scope

This part of ISO 12215 gives requirements on the scantlings of rudders fitted to small craft with a length of hull,

L , of up to 24 m, measured according to ISO 8666. It applies only to monohulls.

This part of ISO 12215 does not give requirements on rudder characteristics required for proper steering

capabilities.

This part of ISO 12215 only considers pressure loads on the rudder due to craft manoeuvring. Loads on the

rudder or its skeg, where fitted, induced by grounding or docking, where relevant, are out of scope and need

to be considered separately.

NOTE Scantlings derived from this part of ISO 12215 are primarily intended to apply to recreational craft including

charter craft.

6 Rudder and steering arrangement, rudder types
6.1 General
6.1.1 General definition

The rudder and steering arrangement comprises all components necessary for manoeuvring the craft, from

the rudder and the rudder operating gear to the steering position.
Rudder and steering equipment shall be arranged so as to permit inspection.

NOTE It is good practice that the rudder keeps the steering effect after grounding (for exam
