Compression load Calculation

for pumps neoprene pads

For primary child water pumps
Pump total Weight = 3290 lb/2.2 = 1490 kg
Concrete base area = 2.110 x1.116=2. 34 sq. m x0.3hight
Concrete base Wight = 1760 kg
Fittings/valves weight (CHK, BV, SD) = 850 kg
Pipe weight full of water = 600 kg
t
= 4700 kg
Total operating Wight = 4700 x 1.2=5640 kg
Compression Load
= 5640 / 2.35*1000 =2.4 ton/sq m
=24 KN/ m
The selected type neoprene compression strength is 30 KN/m

For condenser water pumps

Pump total Weight = 6090 lb/2.2 = 2760 kg
Concrete base area = 2.20 x1.30=2.86 sq. m x0.35hight
Concrete base Wight = 2500 kg
Fitting Weight (CHK, BV, SD) = 950 kg
= 700 kg
= 6910 kg
Total operating Weight = 6910x 1.2=8290 kg
Compression Load= 8290 / 2.86*1000 =2.9 ton/sq m
=29 KN/ m
The selected type neoprene compression strength is 30 KN/m
