5.0 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

a. Drill a hole through the pre-drilled hole fixture into concrete at right angle to the substrate
surface, to the correct diameter and depth.
b. Clean the hole using a brush or pump prior to installing anchor.
c. Lightly tap the anchor into hole with bolt or stud rods.
d. Attach fixture with the correct type of thread and tighten anchor to the recommended torque.

 HYDRAJAW PULL OUT TEST METHOD STATEMENT

1.0 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this pull-out test is to determine the adequacy of the existing or new anchors
to support the required tensile pull out resistance by using Hydrajaw Pull - Out Tester.
The Hydrajaw Pull – Out Tester able to test anchor from M5 – M20 and the maximum
capacity of the Hydrajaw are 2.5 tones / 25kN only.

4.0 TESTING PROCEDURES

The general guideline of operating Hydrajaw Pull-Out Tester may differ depending on site
condition & type of anchor to be tested.

4.1 The client or consultant may randomly choose the test points on site.
4.2 The surface of the surrounding of anchor to be tested should be even and clear of
obstructions to allow fixing of load-spreading-bridge.
4.3 Once the anchor has been set as per manufacturer’s instructions, the hexagon-head- bolt
can then be fitted. The minimum inner thread length of the anchor shall be at least equal
to the diameter of the anchor to ensure secure engagement to the hexagon-head-bolt.
4.4 When the hexagon-head-bolt is securely fitted to the anchor’s inner thread position,
place the Hydrajaw pull-out tester over the hexagon-head-bolt by slotting in through
the hole in the load spreading bridge and make sure it is well engaged in the pulling jaw
of the pull-out tester.
4.5 Level the load spreading bridge with the adjustable legs before commencing the
application of the load.
4.6 Before the test, adjust the red pointer on the load gauge meter reading to zero.
4.7 Apply the tensile load by manually turning the knob handle screw clockwise gradually
until the required test load is obtained. Hold this load and observe any falling back of
the gauge pointer which would indicate movement and possible failure of the anchor.
4.8 Maintain the applied load for one (1) minute for observations and increase load if
necessary, for further observations.
4.9 Release the load on the anchor by turning the knob handle screw anti-clockwise and
allowing the jaw to return to the original position.
4.10 Test results are recorded in the field test report.
4.11 Remark: At high test load, the tested anchor will undergo ‘stress relaxation which
causes a minor decrease in load value (1- 2kN depending on the size of an anchor) and
eventually stabilized within 2-5 minutes, this is normal and does not consider as a
failure of an anchor. If this happens, simply re-tighten the loading screw to the desire
test load.
