Spring bracket issue
Thread Content
Gentlemen! Our unit purchased a spring bracket labeled with a load capacity of 1399 N and a displacement of 21 millimeters. The original pipeline was supported by rigid supports; after installing this spring bracket, the displacement increased to 40 millimeters. It seemed that the spring was too soft. Therefore, I calculated the required weight by dividing 1339 N by 9.8 N, resulting in 142 kilograms. When a sandbag of that weight was placed on the spring, the displacement was still 40 millimeters. Logically, such a weight should not cause any displacement or only a minimal one. Is this testing method correct? How can one test on their own to determine if there is a problem with the spring bracket? Thank you!
It cannot be determined without a specific model. Within the supports and hangers, there are categories for cold state, hot state, and installation state. Does what you’re referring to mean the installation state with an additional 1399 and a displacement of 21 mm?
Under normal conditions, the spring has a pre-compressed dimension; you can check what the pre-compression height is – it’s usually indicated on the label
