CALCULATION FOR INERTIA BASE

1. DIMENSON OF INERTIA BASE

Length 2.70 m
Width 0.86 m
Height 0.15 m

2. VOLUME OF INERTIA BASE

v=LxWxH
= 2.70 m x 0.86 m x 0.15 m
= 0.348 m 3
or 0.348 m 3 x 35 .31 Ft 3 /m 3
v = 12.28 Ft 3

3. WEIGHT OF INERTIA BASE, w

w = weight Concrete + weight Steel

wt Concrete = 12.28 Ft 3 x 150 Ibsl Ft 3

= 1,842 Ibs or 837 kgs
wt Steel = 160 Ibs or 73 kgs ( refer to Data Sheet)

w = 837 kgs + 73 kgs = 910 kgs

4. LOAD ON SPRING
Total Load = wt Inertia Base + wt Pump and Motor + wt Fittings + Hydraulic Load
. wt Inertia Base = 910 kgs
wt Pump and Motor assembly = 752 kgs
wt Pipe and Fittings = 240 kgs (approximate)
Hydraulic Load = Pump Head x Cross-sectional Area of pipe
160 ftH20 x 0.0304 kgjcm 2 j feetH20 x pi (10.12cmf = 1,567 kgs
Total Load = 910 + 752 + 240 + 1567 = 3A69 kgs
Load per spring = 3,469 kgsj 4 = 867 kgs
Spring Capacity = 1000 kgs x 4 nos
