What kn should a drilled in anchor tie be tested to? Is it 6.1kn?

 

[T.ANIMAL]

I believe the load classes are ;

Light Duty 3.5kn
General Purpose 6.1kn
Heavy Duty 12.2kn

If thats any help fella:noworry:

Obviously depends on the job and if it's sheeted or netted, also proof tests have to be done. There are a couple of threads where someone posted extracts of exact requirements, have a search through.

best to refer to tg20

 

[boomer101]

7.6kn on a class A fitting is the required Pass.

Sorry boomer don't get that one.

t animal is almost correct but you have to x the value by 2 normally, so 6.1 x 2 would give you 12.2,

i have the paperwork somewhere and will try and dig it out, give me 10 mins

You should all refer to TG4:11, the requirements have changed for masonry anchors

 

[boomer101]

for a class A fitting 6.1kn should be tested to a load of 1.25 times its load thus giving you atest load of 7.6kn
