DETERMINING LOAD WEIGHTS
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS IN ANY RIGGING OPERATION IS TO KNOW THE WEIGHT OF THE LOAD TO BE
HOISTED.

IF THIS INFORMATION CANNOT BE OBTAINED FROM BLUEPRINTS, SHIPPING PAPERS OR FROM ANY SOURCE, IT MAY
BE NECESSARY TO CALCULATE THE WEIGHT

EXAMPLE:

FIND THE VOLUME OF A RECTANGULAR STEEL PLATE, 6 FT. LONG AND 3 FT. WIDE AND 1 INCH THICK

6 FT. X 3FT. = 18 SQ. FT.

VOLUME = 18 SQ. FT. X 1/12 = 1.5 CU. FT.

STEEL PLATE IS 490 LBS. PER CU. FT.

OR

THE SINGLE WEIGHT IS 40.8 LBS., WHICH IS THE WEIGHT OF 1 SQ. FT. OF STEEL 1 INCH THICK WEIGHT IF STEEL PLATE
IS 18 SQ. FT. X 40.8 = 734 LBS.

OR

40.8 LBS. IS TYE WEIGHT OF 1 SQ. FT. OF STEEL 1 INCH THICK

1/8 THICK BY 1 SQ. FT. WOULD WEIGH 40.8 48 = 5.1

THERE ARE 8, 1/8TH INCH 1 INCH THICK.

RULE OF THUMB - SAFE WORKING LOADS OF THE MOST MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING LOAD
COMMON WIRE ROPE USED TO COMPUTE IN TONS A TYPE ALLOY STEEL CHAIN
SINGLE VERTICLE SLING

SWL = ROPE DIAMETER X ROPE DIAMETER X 8

EXAMPLES: CHAIN SIZE CAPACITY


(INCHES) (POUNDS)

A) INCH DIAMETER ROPE 3,250


SWL = X X 8 = 2 TONS 3/8 6,600
11,250
B) 5/8 INCH DIAMETER ROPE 5/8 16,500
SWL = 5/5 X 5/8 X 8 = 3.125 TONS 23,000
7/8 28,750
C) 1 INCH DIAMETER ROPE 1 38,750
SWL X 1 X 1 X 8 = 8 TONS 1 1/8 44,500
1 57,500

CLEANING & INSPECTION OF BEARINGS

IF NO VISUAL SIGNS OF DAMAGE AND WEAR ARE PRESENT, HOLD THE BEARING AND ROTATE THE OUTER
RACE SLOWLY. NEVER SPIN IT. IF ANY CLICKING OR STICKING IS FOUND, RECLEAN THE BEARING. IF AFTER
CLEANING THE CONDITION STILL EXITS, REPLACE THE BEARING.

THRUST BEARING OR TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS CAN BE INSPECTED IN THE SAME WAY, EXCEPT PLACE
THEBEARING ON A CLEAN SURFACE AND LIGHTLY APPLY HAND PRESSURE AND ROTATE THE BEARING.

IF THE BEARINGS ARE NOT TO BE REINSTALLED AT ONCE, WRAP THEM IN A CLEAN, OIL-PROOF PAOPER,
PLACE IN A CLEAN BOX AND STORE INA DRY, DUST-FREE PLACE. WHEN THE BEARINGS ARE FOUND TO BE
DAMAGED, THE CAUSE MUST BE DETER MINED OR IT MAY OCCUR AGAIN WHEN THE NEW BEARINGS IS
INSTALLED.

CLEANING & IINSPECTING OF BEARINGS

IF BEARINGS MAY BE REINSTALLED, INSPECT THEM CAREFULLY. WHEN SOME DOUBT EXISTS WHETHER OR
NOT TO REPLACE THE BEARING, USE THIS REASONING --- IF FREQUENT INSPECTIONS ARE GIVEN AND THE
BEARING IS EASY TO REPLACE. THEN THE RISK OF FAILURE MAY NOT BE SO GREAT; HOWERVER, IF
INFREQUENT INSPECTION TAKE PLACE AND THE BEARING IS DIFFICULT TO REMOVE AND INSTALL, THEN
THE DOUBTFUL PART SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE.

IF THE BEARINGS HAVE SEALS OR SHIELDS, ALSO INSPECT THEM FOR DAMAGE AND WEAR. IF THE SEALS
ARE NOT REMOVABLE AND THEY ARE DAMAGED OR WORN, THE WHOLE BEARING MUST BE REPLACED.
BE SURE TO REPLACE THOSE SEALS THAT ARE REPLACEABLE IF THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. WORN OR DAMAGED
SEALS WILL ALLOW DIRT AND MOISTURE TO ENTER THE BEARING AND SHORTER BEARING LIFE.

VISUALLY INSPECT THE EXTERIOR OF THE BEARING FOR CRACKS IN THE RACES, DENTED SEALS, AND
BROKEN OR DAMAGED SEPARATORS, BALLS OR ROLLERS. IF THE BEARINGS HAS BEEN OVERHEATED, IT
WILL BE A BROWNISH BLUE OR BLUISH BLACK COLOUR. IF ANY OF THESE SIGNS ARE FOUND, THE
BEARING SHOULD BE REPLACED.

INSPECT SEPARABLE BEARINGS FOR PITTED, SCRATCHED OR FLAKED BALLS, ROLLERS, OR RACES. REPLACE
THE BEARING IF ANY OF THESE SIGNS OF DAMAGE ARE FOUND.

THE INNER SURFACES AND ROLLER ELEMENTS IN A SUSPECTED NON-SEPARABLE BEARING MAY BE
EXAMINED WITH EITHER A SMALL FLASHLIGHT OR REFLECTED LIGHT FROM A STRONG LIGHT SOURCE.
ANY VISIBLE PITS OR SCRATCHES ARE SIGNS OF DAMAGE AND THE BEARING SHOULD BE REPLACED.

CHAIN DEFINITIONS

DRIVE SPROCKET:
USUALLY, THE DRIVER SPROCKET IS THE SMALLER OF THE TWO SPROCKETS AND THE ONE HAVING THE
HIGHEST R.P.M.

DRIVEN SPROCKET:
THE DRIVEN SPROCKET IS USUALLY THE LARGER OF THE SPROCKETS AND THE ONE HAVING THE SLOWER
R.P.M.

CHAIN PITCH:
THIS IS THE DISTANCE ( IN INCHES ) FROM THE CENTRE OF ONE CONNECTING PIN TO THE CENTRE OF THE
NEXT.

CENTRE DISTANCE:
THE CENTRE DISTANCE IS THE DISTANCE ( IN INCHES ) BETWEEN THE CENTRES OF DRIVER AND DRIVEN
SHAFTS.

CHAIN LENGTH:
THE CHAIN LENGTH IS THE DISTANCE FROM CENTRE LINE OF THE CONNECTING PIN AT ONE END OF THE
STRAND TO THE EMPTY CONNECTING HOLE AT THE OPPOSITE END. CHAINS CAN BE MEASURED IN FEET
AND INCHES, OR IN PITCHES.

CHAIN RATING:
THE CHAIN RECOMMENDED WORKING LOAD, IS THE LOAD IN POUNDS THAT THE CHAIN WILL
SATISFACTORILY HANDLE OVER EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. MOST MANUFACTURERS RATE THEIR
CHAINS IN MAXIMUM OR AVERAGE WORKING LOAD.

ULTIMATE STRENGTH:
THIS IS THE STRENGHT OF THE CHAIN BEFORE IT WILL BREAK. THIS IS NOT A GOVERNING FACTOR IN THE
SELECTION OF THE CHAIN. HOWEVER, IT GIVES YOU THE SHOCK LOADING CAPACITY OF THE CHAIN.

PITCH DIAMETER:
THIS IS THE THEORETICAL CIRCLE DESCRIBED BY THE CENTRE LINE OF THE CHAIN AS IT PASSES OVER THE
SPROCKET. THE P. D. OF A SPROCKET IS USUALLY BELOW THE TOP OF THE TOOTH OR OUTSIDE DIAMETER

METALLURGY

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF FERROUS METALS:

BRITTLENESS -IS THE PROPERTY OF A METAL WHICH PERMITS NO PERMANENT DISTORTION BEFORE BREAKING. CAST
IRON, WHICH BREAKS EASILY, IS AN EXAPLE OF BRITTLE METAL.

DUCTILITY - IS THE ABILITY OF THE METAL TO BE PERMANENTLY DEFORMED WITHOUT BREAKING. METALS
SUCH AS MACHINE ( MILD ) STEEL, WHICH MAY BE DRAWN INTO WIRE IS A DUCTILE MATERIAL.

ELASTICITY - IS THE ABILITY OF A METAL TO RETURN TO ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE AFTER ANY FORCE, ACTING UPON
IT, HAS BEEN REMOVED. PROPERLY HEAT-TREATED SPRINGS ARE GOOD EXAMPLES OF ELASTIC MATERIALS.

HARDNESS -MAY BE DEFINED AS THE RESISTENCE TO FORCEABLE PENETRATION OR PLASTIC DEFORMATION.

MALLEABILTY -IS THAT PROPERTY OF A METAL, WHICH PERMITS IT TO BE HAMMERED OR ROLLED INTO OTHER SIZES
AND SHAPES.

TENSILE STRENGTH - IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PULL THAT A MATERIAL WILL WITHSTAND BEFORE BREAKING. IT
IS EXPRESSED AS THE NUMBER OF POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH OF PULL THAT IS REQUIRED TO BREAK A BAR HAVING
A CROSS SECTION OF ONE SQUARE INCH.

TOUGHNESS - IS THE PROPERTY OF A METAL TO WITHSTAND IMPACT OR SHOCK.

ANNEALING -ANNEALING CONSISTS OF HEATING STEEL TO ABOVE ITS CRITICAL RANGE AND THEN ALLOWING IT TO
COOL SLOWLY.

NORMALIZING -IT CONSISTS OF HEATING SOMEWHAT ABOVE CRITICAL THE RANGE, FOLLOWED BY AIR-COOLING.

HARDENING -IS ACOMPLISHED BY HEATING THE STEEL BEYOND THE CRITICAL TEMPERATURE AND FOLLOWING BY
RELATIVELY FAST COOLING. IF HEATING FOR HARDENING IS BEING ACCOMPLISHED IN THE FORGE FIRE THE COLOR
SHOULD BE A FULL RED AND TO CHECK ON THE TEMPERATURE A MAGNET MAY BE USED, AS THE STEEL AT OR ABOVE
THE CRITICAL TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE NON-MAGNETIC. IF THE MAGNET IS BEING USED WHILE THE TEMPERATURE
IS BEING RAISED FROM THE ROOM TEMPERATURE, THE CORRECT POINT TO STOP HEATING IS WHERE THE STEEL NO
LONGER RESPONDS TO THE PULL OF THE MAGNET. IF A FURNACE IS BEING USED TO HEAT THE STEEL TO THE
HARDENING HEAT A PYROMETER AIDS GREATLY IN DETERMINING THE CRITICAL TEMPERATURE.

TEMPERING -TEMPERING IS THE APPLICATION OF HEAT AFTER HARDENING. THE PURPOSE IS TO RELIEVE SOME OF
THE HARDENING STRAINS AND ALSO TO SOFTEN THE STEEL. TEMPERING IS ACCOMPLISHED BY HEATING TO SOME
PREDETERMINED TEMPERATURE AND FOLLOWED BY ANY RATE OF COOLING.

THREAD TERMINOLOGY
MAJOR DIAMETER - OR OUTSIDE DIAMETER IS THE LARGEST DIAMETER OF A SCRWE THREAD OF NUT

MINOR DIAMETER IS THE SMALLEST DIAMETER ACROSS THE BOTTOM. THIS WAS FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE ROOT
DIAMETER.

INCLUDE ANGEL OF A THREAD IS THE ANGEL BETWEEN EACH SIDE OF THE THREAD. FOR EXAMPLE, THE INCLUDED
ANGEL OF A AMERICAN NATIONAL FORM THREAD IS 608

PITCH (P) IS THE DISTANCE FROM ANYONE ONE POINT ON ONE THREAD TO THE CORRESPONDING POINT ON THE
NEXT THREAD MEASURED ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE WORK, OR P = .1/TPI (THREAD PER INCH )

LEAD IS THE DISTANCE THREAD ADVANCES IN ONE COMPLETE TURN ALONG ITS AXIS. FOR EXAMPLE ON A SINGEL
THREAD THE LEAD IS EQUAL TO THE PITCH; ON A DOUBLE THREAD (THE THREAD WITH TWO STARTS) THE LEAD IS
EQUAL TO TWICE THE PITCH

CREST IS THE TOP OR PEAK OF EACH THREAD

ROOT IS THE BOTTOM OF THE GROOVE OF EACH THREAD

DEPTH OF THREAD IS THE VERTICAL DISTANCE FROM THE ROOT TO THE CREST OF THE THREAD

PITCH DIAMETER IS THE DIAMETER OF AN IMAGINARY CYLINDER EQUAL TO HALF THE DEPTH OF THE THREAD, IT IS
THE BASIC DIAMETER FOR ROLLING THREADS

HELIX ANGLE IS THE ANGLE DEVILOPED BY THE CIRCUMFRENCE OF THE OUTSIDE DIAMETEROF THE THREAD AND
THE PITCH, THE HELIX ANGLE IS REQUIRED FOR THREAD ROLLING DIES OR FOR THREAD MILLING

TOLERANCE IS THE AMOUNT OF VARIATION PERMITED IN THE SIZE OF A PART, FOR EXAMPLE, A TOLERANCE OF
.002 IMPLIES A VARIATION OF + OR - .001

SCREW THREAD CLASSES TO FIT

SCREW THREAD CLASSES TO FIT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSURING THE
MANUFACTURE OF INTERCHANGABLE SCREW THREAD PARTS.

THESE CLASSES INCLUDE 1A, 2A, AND 3A AS APPLIED TO EXTERNAL THREADS, AND 1B, 2B, AND 3B
APPLIED TO INTERNAL THREADS.

THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A SCREW THREAD FITFOR SPECIAL APLICATIONS CAN BE MET BY SPECIFYING
THE PROPER COMBINATION OF CLASSES FOR THE COMPONENTS. MOST REQUIREMENTS, HOWEVER,
WILL BE SATISFIED BY SELECTING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING COMBINATIONS; ANY VARIATION IN THESE
THREAD ELEMENTS MUST BE DEDUCTED FROM THE PITCH DIAMETER TOLERENCE .

CLASS 1A AND 1B --- THESE CLASSES 1A EXTERNAL AND 1B INTERNAL ARE USED ON THREDED
COMPONENTS WHERE QUICK AND EASY ASSEMBLY IS NECESSARY,AND WHERE A LIBERAL ALLOWANCE IS
REQUIRED TO PERMIT READY ASSEMBLY, EVEN WITH SLIGHTLY BRUISED OR DIRT CLOGGED THREADS

CLASSES 2A AND 2B --- THESE CLASSES 2A EXTERNAL AND 2B INTERNAL, ARE DESIGNED FOR SCREWS,
BOLTS, AND NUTS. THEY ARE ALSO SUITED FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF OTHER APPLICATIONS.AN
ALLOWENCE IS PROVIDED WHICH MINIMIZES GALLING AND SEIZURE AS ENCOUNTERED IN ASSEMBLY
AND USE. TO A LIMITED EXTENT, IT ALSO ACCOMODATES PLATING, FINISHES, OR COATINGS.

CLASSES 3A AND 3B --- THESE CLASSES 3A EXTERNAL AND 3B INTERNAL, ARE PROVIDED FOR THOSE
APPLICATIONS WHERE CLOSENESS TO FIT AND ACCURACY OF LEAD ARE IMPORTANT. THESE THREADS ARE
CONTAINED CONSISTANCLY ONLY THROUGH THE USE OF HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTION SUPPORTED BY A
VERY EFFICIENT SYSTEM OF GAUGING AND INSPECTION.

THE PITCH DIAMETER FOR CLASSES 1, 2, ANS 3 FOR EACH STANDARD DIAMETER AND NUMBER OF
THREADS PER INCH MAY BE FOUND IN MOST MECHANICAL ENGINEERING HANDBOOKS.

FORMULA FOR CEMENT
MIX;

1 PART CEMENT
2 PARTS SAND
2 PARTS STONE ( MAX)
ADD WATER AS REQUIRED

NOTE TO FIND THE NUMBER OF CU. YDS. OF CONCRETE NEEDED MULTIPLY THE NUMBER OF SQUARE FEET BY
THE BEPTH IN INCHES THEN DIVIDE THE RESULT BY 324 (L X W X D 4 324)

EXAMPLE: 9 FT. X 18 FT. PATIO 4 IN. DEEP

9 X 18 = 162 SQ. FT. X 4 IN. DEEP = 648

AND DIVIDE BY 324 = 2 CU. YDS OF CONCRETE


OR
9 X 18 X 4/12 X1/27 = 2 CU. YDS. CONCRETE

BASIC STEPS OF LIFTING AND HANDLING


SIZE UP THE LOAD AND CHEQUE OVERALL CONDITIONS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT ALONE IF THE OBJECT APPEARS
TOO HEAVY, OR AKWARD. CHEQUE ADICUATE SPACE FOR MOVEMENT AND GOOD FOOTING

LOOK FOR SLIVERS, NAILS, AND SHARPE ENDS ETC. WHEN HANDELING MATERIALS OR PACKAGES, IF POSSIBLE
REMOVE THEM

MAKE CERTAIN OF GOOD BALANCE. FEET SHOULDER WIDTH APART; ONE FOOT BESIDE AND ONE FOOT BEHIND THE
ARTICLE TO BE LIFTED.

BEND THE KNEES, DO NOT STOOP. KEEP THE BACK STRAIGHT, NOT VERTICAL; THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. TUCKING IN
THE CHIN TO MAKE CERTAIN THE BACK IS STRAIGHT

GRIP THE LOAD WITH PALMS OF THE HANDS AND THE FINGERS. THE PALM GRIP IS MUCH MORE SECURE. WITH GRIP
TAKEN, TUCK IN THE CHIN TO MAKE SURE THE BACK IS STRAIGHT

USE BODY WEIGHT TO START THE LOAD MOVING AND THEN LIFT BY PUSHING UP WITH THE LEGS, MAKING FULL USE
OF THE STRONGEST SET OF MUSCLES.

COMBINATION SET

COMBINATION SET CONSISTS OF A STEEL RULE, SQUARE HEAD, CENTER HEAD AND PROTRACTOR

THE STEEL RULE OR BLADE IS MARKED IN 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 ANS 1/64. IT IS A VERY GOOD AND USEFUL
MEASURING TOOL BUT ONLY ACCURATE TO 1/64 OF AN INCH. THE SAME APPLIES IF YOU ARE
MEASURING OVER THE LENGTH OF THE RULE. EG, IF YOU ARE MEASURING A 4 FT, SHAFT YOU WOULD
NOT PLACE THE 12 INCH RULE ON THE SHAFT AND MARKE OFF 12 INCHES, THEN MARK OFF 24 INCHES.
ETC. WHAT YOU WOULD USE IS A RULE THAT WOULD BE FOUR FEET OR OVER.

SQUARE HEAD SLIDES ON THE STEEL RULE AND CAN BE POSITIONED AS REQUIRED. THE SQUARE HEAD
HAS AN ACCURATLY GROUND 90( FACE PLUS A 45( MITER FACE. THERE IS A SPIRIT LEVEL INCORPORATED
IN THE HEAD WHICH IS VERY USEFULL IN LEVELING.

PROTRACTOR HEAD SLIDES ON THE STEEL RULE. MOST PROTRACTOR HEADS WILL TURN FROM 0( TO
180( IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THIS IS A VERY GOOD TOOL FOR CHECKING AND MARKING OFF THE
ANGLE DESIRED.

CENTER HEAD THIS HEAD ALSO SLIDES ON THE STEEL RULE AND IS USED FOR MARKING OF SHAFTS ETC.
