FROGLINE CONCRETELINK LIFELINE
–
TESTING FROGLINE DONUTLINK
-
To comply with current Standards, each Concrete anchor must be tested after installation and at
every recertification inspection.
-
Ensure you wait the recommended curing time as specified by the chemical manufacturer.
-
The pull test can be done using DonutLink washer as an attachment point.
-
Use the DonutLink adaptor with Hydrajaws pull tester to connect into DonutLink washer.
-
Test consists of proof loading to 50% of the intended anchor rating of 15kN.
-
Install the pull test adaptor with calibrated pull test device into DonutLink washer as shown below
image. Load anchorage point to 7.5kN, refer pull test device instructions.
-
Ensure energy absorbing regions of the anchor system are not loaded during this test.
-
Check concrete and chemical adhesive as secure and damage free, refer to periodic inspections.
DonutLink Adapter
DonutLink Adapter with Pull Tester
Note: Drilled-in anchorages such as friction and glued-in anchorages shall be placed so that the shear load is at least
twice the tension load. For FrogLine DonutLink components this translates to a pull at an angle not exceeding 20
degrees to the surface in which the bolt is installed.
Recommended chemical anchor: Fischer FIS-V as per Fischer Product Supplement Data sheets.
DonutLink should not be positioned close to an edge, minimum distance 150mm.
If any doubt exists as to the strength of the structure an engineer should make the assessment.
During installation you must be safe at all times.
