ASTM F2438-04(2017),Standard Specification for Oil Spill Response Boom Connection: Slide Connector.
This standard can be downloaded for free. Thank Tony from the United States for sharing it.
ASTM F2438-04(2017) covers design criteria requirements, design geometry, material characteristics, and desirable features for oil spill response boom slide connections. These criteria are intended to define minimum mating characteristics and are not intended to be restricted to a specific configuration.
Design Requirements
4.1 The minimum tensile strength of a boom-to-boom connection shall equal or exceed the minimum fabric tensile strength specified in Table I of Guide F1523/F1523M.
4.2 The connector design shall ensure distribution or transfer of the tension member loads from one boom section to the next through or around the end connector in such a manner that the integrity of the joint is not broken at the fabric connection or any supplemental tension member connection(s).
