Indian Standard CODE FOR CONSTRUCTION

MILK DELIVERY

0. FOREWO

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the

IS : 9854 - 1981

OF VANS

RD

Indian Standards Institution on 15 Suly 1981, after the draft finalized by the Dairy Equipment Sectional Committee had been approved by the Agricultural and Food Products Division Council. 0.2 The milk delivery vans are used to transport by road milk in bottles or cans from dairies or milk processing plants to milk distribution centres. The vans are designed to be mounted on truck chassis. Pasteurized milk in bottles or cans or other containers can be stored and transported at desired temperatures without spoilage. The capacity and the type of van has to be decided on the basis of number of bottles or cans to be transported, the dis- tance to be covered, the weather condition and the road regulations.

0.3 The purchaser is also required to make arrangements for the truck chassis, get the drawings and axle loads approved by the local transport authorities, as well as arrange to build the body thereon. 0.4 The overall dimensions of the milk delivery van with accessories shall not in any way infringe the local transport authority regulations in force from time to time. 0.5 This standard covers the van body panelling as well as the structural components made from aluminium or aluminium alloy. 0.6 The structural details of the body have to be decided between the pur- chaser and the fabricator. 0.7 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off inaccordance with IS : 2-1960X. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

-1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard covers the requirements of driver’s cabin as well as insu- lated milk delivery van body with inner and outer panels and structuralsmfabri- cated from aluminium alloy.

*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised).

3

IS : 9854 - 1981

1.1.1 This standard does not cover specifications from truck chassis, its running gear, or its accessories or any parts thereof.

2. ~GENERAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 The body of the van shall consist of the aluminium -alloy extruded sec- tion for structure with inner and outer aluminium alloy sheet panelling and insulating material. It shall also be provided with necessary fittings and acces- sories and supports for mounting the body on the truck chassis.

2.2 Typical general arrangements, drawings of milk delivery van mounted on chassis are shown in Fig. 1, with attendant compartment. The attendant compartment could be deleted as per individual’s requirements.

3. SHAPE

3.1 The general shape of the body of the van shall be rectangular with flat sides, slightly curved roof with round corners (to allow for rain water to easily flow off) with double-loaf doors at the rear end hinged suitably to fully open outwards. At least two drainage holes of size 6 to 12 mm, about 50 mm away on the floor from the front end should be provided to drain out milk or water when the floor is washed with water.

4. DIMENSIONS

4.1 Dimensions of the milk delivery van should be in accordance with the Motor Vehical Rules. However, a maximum over-hang of 50 percent of the wheel base should be kept.

NOTE - It is so done so that the maximum utility of the chassis could be obtained by fabricating larger body under the Rules of the Motor Vehicle Act.

5. MATERIAL

5.1 Driver’s Cabin

5.1.1 The frame work of the cabin should be made of 1.6 mm thick steel sheet ( see IS : 1079-1973* ). The panels of the cabin shall preferably be of pressed sections with all connections bolted or arc-welded with gusset plates at joints.

5.1.2 The outer panelling and the interior top of the driver’s cabin should be of 1.20 mm aluminium alloy sheets conforming to 19 000, 31 000 or 51 300 and in H 2 temper of IS : 737-1974t with joints at top re-riveted. The rear panels shall be blind riveted by means of beading to the frame work.

*Specification for hot rolled carbon steel sheet and strip ( rhird revision ). tspecification for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy, sheet and strip ( for gene-

ral engineering purposes ) ( second revision ).
