Method Of Testing Spacer Grid Systems |
At the request of several manufacturers
of spacer grid systems, the MCRMA supervised a series
of structural tests carried out at a well-known testing
laboratory. The tests were designed to establish the structural
performance of the components and the loads were greater
than would be found in site conditions.
The description of the tests is as follows:
-
1 Bracket/ferrule to zed/rail attachment.
-
2a Point load to centre span rail/zed.
-
2b Point load to bracket/ferrule to
zed/rail attachment.
-
3 Down slope across the rail/zed load.
-
4 Along the rail/zed sway load.
