Hoist Capacity Calculation For Vertical Lift Fixed Wheel Type Gate With Rope Drum Hoist System (Size 6.50 M X 3.10 M HEAD 2.90 M)

The document discusses the hoist capacity calculation for a vertical lift fixed wheel gate system with a rope drum hoist. It provides technical details of the gate such as its size, number of gates, and design head. It then calculates the water thrust on the gate, weight of the gate, roller friction, seal friction, guide friction, and other opposing forces. It determines that an additional 0.51 tons of ballast weight is required for closing. The total weight of the gate with ballast is 3 tons. It further calculates the lifting forces and determines a 10 ton rope drum hoist is required.

HOIST CAPACITY CALCULATION FOR VERTICAL LIFT FIXED WHEEL


TYPE GATE WITH ROPE DRUM HOIST SYSTEM (SIZE 6.50 M X 3.10 M
HEAD 2.90 M)

1.0 Technical Details:

 No. of Vents : 10 Nos.

 No. of gates : 10 Nos.

 Size of gate : 6500 mm X 3100 mm

 Sill level : 224.10m

 FRL : 227.00m

 MWL : 228.00m

 Top of pier : EL -

 Design head FRL : 2.90m (290cm)

 C/C of side seals : 6.6m (660cm)

 C/C of Roller tracks : 7.1m (710cm)

 Skin plate : U/S side

 Seals : U/S side

 Type of seals : : IS 11855 - 2004

a) Side Seals & Top : Rubber type

b) Bottom Seals : Wedge type

 Type of gate : Fixed Wheel type

 Operation : With the help of Rope Drum Hoist

 Standards : IS 4622, IS 807, IS 800, IS 2062

2.0 Design of Gate leaf:

 C/C of side seals : 6600mm


 C/C of track : 7100mm
 Height of gate : 3100 mm
 Design head FRL : 2.90 m
 Water thrust on gate at partial submerged condition (50%)

= 6.600 X (2.902-1.442)/2 = 20.91 t

3.0 Hoist Capacity Calculations:

1) Weight of gate: 2390 kg (Tentatively Estimated)

2) Roller friction:

F = P/R(fa X r + fr)

Where F = Roller friction in kg

P = Water thrust = 11700 kg

R = 9.0 cm

fa = Coeff. of friction = 0.2 for bronze bushing

r = 3.0 cm (Bearing ID 40 OD 80 and 23 thick)

fr = 0.1

 F = (11700 / 9) (0.2 X 3.0 + 0.1) = 910 kg

3) Seal friction: (Rubber seals)

Side seal friction: 2 X  X b X h X l

= (2 X 0.2 X 3.8 X 0.117 X 300) = 53.35 kg

4) Guide friction

= 5% of gate weight = 0.05 X2390 = 120 kg

5) Friction due to pre compression of seals @50 kg/m

(2 x 3.0) x 0.05 x 0.2 =0.06 t say 60.0 kg

6) Buoyancy = 0.304 t
7) Upward force on bottom seal +bottom seal clamp = (0.010 + 0.014)x

3.760 x 2.88=0.260 t

9) Seating load = 3.76 x 2.5 KN = 0.958 t

As 0.260 < 0.958, considered closing or seating load = 0.958 t (As per IS 6938)

Frictional and other forces opposing the downward motion of gate during lowering
cycle =Seal friction+ wheel friction +guide friction + net upward hydrostatic force=
0.113+0.910+0.120+0.958+0.304 = 2.40 t

Active closing force should be=2.40 x 1.2 = 2.88 t > 2.39 t

(Note: Since the required closing force > self weight of gate, hence closing of gate by
self weight is not established and and additional ballast weight is required)

Check for Additional Ballast Weight required:

Apparent weight of ballast required = 2.88-2.39 = 0.51 t

Minimum ballast = (0.51/6.85) x 7.85 = 0.57 t

Now, closing of the gate due to self weight including ballast


is established.

Total weight of gate : 2.39 + 0.57 t =2.96t(say 3.0t)


Check Hoist capacity during lifting

Self weight of gate : 3000.00

Roller Friction : 910.00

Seal Friction due to water thrust : 113.35

Guide friction 5% of gate weight : 120.00

Uplift force on bottom seal & seal clamp : 260.00

Buoyant force : 380.00

4023.35 kg

Add 20% reserve capacity : + 804.60

4827.95kg

Proposed 10 ton Rope Drum hoist for operation of gate for standardization.
