METHOD STATEMENT FOR HYDRAULIC PULL-OUT TESTCaen ned Method Statement for Hydraulic Pull-Out Test OBJECTIVE The purpose of site test IS to validate installation/adequacy of the installation of fixings This is usually proposed by the consultants to validate the quality of work by installers or contractors, GUIDELINES 1. Pull-out test result should meet the minimum required Design Load. 2. For anchors, Proof Loads of 1.5 times the recommended load (Design Loads) stiuuld be used as a guideline. Prof Loads should not exceed twice the Manufacturer's Recommended Load or permanent damage may affect the fixing or the structure, If there is anchor design calculation done by Hilti engineers, the design load should be used. 8. Thread ennyayement between tixing and coupler should be adequate to take the applied load and for Ultimate Load Testing should be at least 1.5 x d, where d = nominal iameter of the thread under test. Fig. 4b 4 The load-measuring gauge should be accurate to within 5% of the readings. This equipment ehould be recalibiated at least annually, by a laboratory with load measuring equipment whose calibration is traceable to national standards such as 5. Hill (M) Sdn. Bhd provide free of charge non-destructive random tensile pullout testing” to Hilti customers with Terms & Conditions. 6. There will be two modes of testing provided by HILTI (M) Sdn BhdSIL Non-destructive, and ones © Destructive * Suet o H(t) Sn, Bh. goraral etn tems and condins EQUIPMENT Testing will be conducted using @ hollow cylinder jack. It will be manually operated by a hand pump and a digital display will be used to monitor the loading during the tost. The testing set-up is illustrated in the figures below: Hydraulic jack | Mechanical coupler Threaded Rod/ Rebar a |) — Hilti chemical anchor system Threaded Rod / Rebarew TESTING PROCEDURE 1. The threaded rod / rebar will be loaded by means of pullout by a hydraulic hollow cylinder jack powered by a hand pump. 2. The purpose of the mechanical coupler is to grip the threaded rod / rebar so that when the hydraulic jack is being pumped, it will try to pull the threaded rod / rebar out. 3, The threaded rod / rebar tested will be loaded according to Hil TI's recommended / proof load or to failure for destructive test. 4 All readings will be displayed on a digital dieplay pancl in poi (™%q2). 5, Failure is detected when load displayed on digital display panel will not increase anymore, showiry villrer Lund, steel or concrete movement. Conversion ot PSI to kN The following is the conversion from psi readings to metric readings: psi -> KN = (psi X Area X 4.448) + 1000 KN — psi = (KN X 1000) + (Area X 4.448) Note: Area refers to offective arca of the hollow cylinder jack. Please refer (0 conversion table for more info. TEST REPORT 1, Aller each test, a report is produced to record the details and a total of one four Certified copies will be submitted. The original will be kept in HILTI office for record purposes. 2. Testing report will include testing site details, personnel involvement, product information, applications details, method and procedure of test, anuipmant info, reports, and calibration certificates. 3. Tasting rapart can be completed after 3 working dayc from date of testing for Klang Valley and approximately 7 working days for outstation,
