Hi SteamKing, Thank you for looking at this. This is my error, the area is 0.06318m².

OK. Here's my attempt. Surface area of my post is 0.6318m² 0.6318m² is 6.318% of 1m² If 1 kN/m² = 100 kg/m² then 0.42kN/m² = 42kg/m² Therefore, 6.318% of 42kg = Application load for 0.6318m² surface area = 2.65kg

The British Standard is BS EN12899-3:2007. Clause 7.4.1.1 states "Precondition three new delineator posts for at least 4 hours at a temperature of 23°C ±2°C. That shall be fixed horizontally in a base clamp so that the ground line is level with the top of the clamp. Apply a test load in the...

In addition, the test is specified in a British standard. BSI will not comment on the standards content. They just say it's down to interpretation.

Sorry! It was a bit vague. You're right, safety first. I assure you that this will be a safe test. The product is a Ø60 tube made from HDPE but has a polyurethane base. It measures 900mm long. The test is to hang the weight on the centre of the post for 120 seconds and then remove the load...

Homework Statement How do I determine what weight gives 0.42kN/m²? I have been asked to set up a test for a product as follows; a) mount a post horizontally on a wall b) apply a load corresponding to 0.42kN/m² at the centre of the post. What weight do I hang off of the post to give this load...

I am setting up a test and the brief is as follows; 1. Mount a post horizontally on to a wall. 2. Apply a load corresponding to 0.42kN/m² at the centre of the post. What weight corresponds to 0.42kN/m²?
