II DESCRIPTION

2.1 Design

2.1.1 The pipe hanger components discussed in this Report are manufactured from Grade 22010 malleable
iron according to ASTM A47. These pipe hanger components, depending on the intended application,
are available with one of two different types of finishes – uncoated or with a corrosion resistant
electro-deposited 13 micron zinc clear coating per ASTM B633-98. The #10 ceiling plates are also
available in an electro copper plating per ASTM B734-97.

2.2 The appropriate sizes of the pipe hanger components, combined with the appropriate minimum
nominal sized threaded rods, will support the nominal size pipes as listed in Table 2.2.

3.2 Tensile Pull Tests

3.2.1 Three samples of the #15 Beam Clamp with the 3/8 inch threaded rod size were subjected to tensile
pull testing. Each Beam Clamp was subjected to a pre load of 250 lbf (1112 N) followed by a test
load of 1475 lbf (6561 N). Once the test load was obtained, it was maintained for 1 minute. The
deflection of the hanger was measured during the duration of this test, and at no time did the
deflection exceed 3/16 inch (4.7 mm). These results are considered satisfactory.

3.2.2 Three samples of the #15 Beam Clamp with the 1/2 inch threaded rod size were subjected to tensile
pull testing. Each Beam Clamp was subjected to a pre load of 750 lbf (3336 N) followed by a test
load of 3800 lbf (16 903 N). Once the test load was obtained, it was maintained for 1 minute. The
deflection of the hanger was measured during the duration of this test, and at no time did the
deflection exceed 3/16 inch (4.7 mm). These results are considered satisfactory.

3.2.3 Three samples of the #25 Wide Mouth Beam Clamp with the 3/8 inch threaded rod size were
subjected to tensile pull testing. Each wide mouth beam clamp was subjected to a pre load of 250 lbf
(1112 N) followed by a test load of 1475 lbf (6561 N). Once the test load was obtained, it was
maintained for 1 minute. The deflection of the hanger was measured during the duration of this test,
and at no time did the deflection exceed 3/16 inch (4.7 mm). These results are considered satisfactory.

3.2.4 Three samples of the #25 Wide Mouth Beam Clamp with the 1/2 inch threaded rod size were
subjected to tensile pull testing. Each wide mouth beam clamp was subjected to a pre load of 750 lbf
(3336 N) followed by a test load of 3800 lbf (16 903 N). Once the test load was obtained, it was
maintained for 1 minute. The deflection of the hanger was measured during the duration of this test,
and at no time did the deflection exceed 3/16 inch (4.7 mm). These results are considered satisfactory.

3.2.5 Three samples of the #28 C-Clamp with the M10 threaded rod size were subjected to tensile pull
testing. Each C-Clamp was subjected to a pre load of 250 lbf (1112 N) followed by a test load of
1475 lbf (6561 N). Once the test load was obtained, it was maintained for 1 minute. The deflection of
the hanger was measured during the duration of this test, and at no time did the deflection exceed 3/16
inch (4.7 mm). These results are considered satisfactory.

3.2.6 Three samples of the #33 C-Clamp with the 3/8 inch threaded rod size were subjected to tensile pull
testing. Each C-Clamp was subjected to a pre load of 250 lbf (1112 N) followed by a test load of
1475 lbf (6561 N). Once the test load was obtained, it was maintained for 1 minute. The deflection of
the hanger was measured during the duration of this test, and at no time did the deflection exceed 3/16
inch (4.7 mm). These results are considered satisfactory.

3.2.7 Three samples of the #51 Side Beam Connector with the 3/8 inch threaded rod size were subjected to
tensile pull testing. Each side beam connector was subjected to a pre load of 250 lbf (1112 N)
followed by a test load of 1475 lbf (6561 N). Once the test load was obtained, it was maintained for 1
minute. The deflection of the hanger was measured during the duration of this test, and at no time did
the deflection exceed 3/16 inch (4.7 mm). These results are considered satisfactory.

3.2.8 Three samples of the #53 Extension Piece with the 3/8 inch threaded rod size were subjected to tensile
pull testing. Each extension piece was subjected to a pre load of 250 lbf (1112 N) followed by a test
load of 1475 lbf (6561 N). Once the test load was obtained, it was maintained for 1 minute. The
deflection of the hanger was measured during the duration of this test, and at no time did the
deflection exceed 3/16 inch (4.7 mm). These results are considered satisfactory.

3.2.9 Three samples of the #53 Extension Piece with the 1/2 inch threaded rod size were subjected to tensile
pull testing. Each extension piece was subjected to a pre load of 750 lbf (3336 N) followed by a test
load of 3800 lbf (16 903 N). Once the test load was obtained, it was maintained for 1 minute. The

deflection of the hanger was measured during the duration of this test, and at no time did the
deflection exceed 3/16 inch (4.7 mm). These results are considered satisfactory.

3.2.10 Three samples of the #54 Center Load Beam Clamp with the 3/8 inch threaded rod size were subjected
to tensile pull testing. Each center load beam clamp was subjected to a pre load of 250 lbf (1112 N)
followed by a test load of 1475 lbf (6561 N). Once the test load was obtained, it was maintained for 1
minute. The deflection of the hanger was measured during the duration of this test, and at no time did
the deflection exceed 3/16 inch (4.7 mm). These results are considered satisfactory.

3.3 Based on the results detailed above, no additional tests were deemed necessary.
