[Dsg-rich] Schedule RICH stiffening tool load test

Fri Oct 6 15:49:37 EDT 2017

Sandro, Tyler,

I am glad to help with the load test. I am fairly new to the lab and this is going to be my first load test at the lab.  I will need everyone's support to perform this load test successfully.  I don't have any employees that directly work for me.  

I think we should schedule the load test after we make sure we have all the appropriate equipment, rigging and test weights.  I will write the lift plan once I understand how the  weights will be  attached to the stiffening tool.  We will need to gather the appropriate amount of test weights and borrow Doug Tilles dynamometer for the test. 

I need to understand where and how the test load should be attached to the fixture so the load is applied  correctly without damaging the tool during the test. I also need to understand the orientation of the  fixture during load test or tests.  

Since Bob Miller is extremely busy in hall "B", I don't think it is a good time to do a test in hall "B".  

We should meet to discuss how and where we are going to proceed with the load test. I will be busy on Monday dealing with a crane repair at the CHL. Tuesday would be a better day to meet and discuss.

Respectfully,

Mark Loewus

Hello I answer to Mark,

About the load weight suspention a specific drawing does not exist since it was agreed with Miller to procede in this way:
-Use a metal basket with lead bricks, you can find them in the hall b or ask to Bob or Doug
- attach the basket to the test stand using two straps.
- Dario Orecchini can help you.
For any question do not hesitate to ask.
Many thanks
Sandro
