TRANSCRIPT
General
A steel pole must support the weight of the fixtures, mounting brackets and other equipment which will mount on it, and be able to withstand the effect of the maximum wind velocity. Poles will be selected based on the total EPA (Effective Projected Area) and weight each pole will hold in a given wind area. Before choosing a pole, total up the maximum EPA and the weight of all the fixtures, mounting brackets and other equipment you plan to mount on the structure. Maximum Expected Wind Velocities
Enclosed on the next page is the 50-year mean recurrence Isotach national wind velocity map, which is an aid in the selection of a pole with regard to its geographic location. Refer to the map to find the maximum expected wind condition for the area you will be installing the poles. Velocities recorded on the map are expected Isotach values and do not include the 1.3 gust factor. Poles are designed for maximum gust velocities 30% greater than the mile per hour (MPH) value given on the map. Please contact CHM Industries for areas where unusual wind conditions exist such as mountain areas, natural terrains acting as funnels, or hurricane regions. These areas may require the use of a greater Isotach value which is not shown on the map. Step-by-Step Instructions for Selecting Poles
1. Choose the specific quantity and type of fixture(s) you plan to use on each pole. 2. Pick the appropriate mounting brackets and accessories. 3. Calculate the system EPA by multiplying the fixture EPA by the quantity of fixtures. Then
add in the EPA of the mounting brackets. This will be your system EPA. 4. Calculate the system weight by multiplying the number of fixtures by the weight of each
fixture. Then add in the weight of the brackets and/or accessories. This will be your system weight.
5. Check the wind velocity map to find the MPH of the geographic region where the poles will be installed.
6. Once the system EPA and system weight have been determined, you can choose the required pole(s). Locate and determine on the steel pole chart the desired pole heights. Start with the lightest pole in each of the pole height sections and check your load requirements with the appropriate wind speed in your area. In the EPA capacity section, which denotes system EPA’s and system weights in the different wind speed areas, be sure the total weight and EPA of the lighting equipment does not exceed the maximum. Listed will be the appropriate catalog number for ordering. At the end of the catalog number indicate the finish: (G) for galvanizing and (PC) for powder coat (specify color).
7. If you are adding any options or accessories, add the indicated letter(s) to the end of the listed catalog number.
These ordering methods are guidelines only. CHM Industries takes no responsibility for the system design and recommends you consult a qualified professional for verification when purchasing any material from this catalog.

NOTES:
1. This map shows the maximum steady wind expected within a 50 year period of recurrence at an elevation of 30 feet above the ground.
2. Caution is advised in using wind velocity contours in special wind areas such as mountainous areas and areas around the Great Lakes.
3. Hawaii has a 80 mph wind velocity. 4. Puerto Rico has a 95 mph wind velocity. 5. This map is intended as a general guide. Check your
local area for unique wind conditions.
Pole Shaft
The pole shaft is a one section design fabricated from standard 11 gauge (0.1196”) or 7 gauge (0.1793”) steel. The pole shaft is fabricated from high strength, low alloy steel conforming to ASTM A-595, with a minimum yield strength of 55,000psi. Each pole has a full-length longitudinal weld and is cylindrical in cross-section having a uniform taper rate of 0.14” of diameter change per foot of length. Base Plate
The base plate is fabricated from a structural quality, hot rolled carbon steel plate that meets or exceeds ASTM A-572 with a minimum yield strength of 42,000psi. The base plate telescopes the pole shaft and is circumferential welded top and bottom. The base plate has slotted bolt holes for a 1/2” variation in the anchor bolt setting. Full Base Cover
A full base cover is standard for all poles. The cover is fabricated from Galvaneal Steel and finished to match the pole. It is a two piece design, with anti-lift tabs, secured together with two rivets. Hand Hole
A 3” x 5” hand hole, hand hole cover, attaching hardware, and ground lug comes standard on all poles unless otherwise specified. The oval reinforced hand hole, having a nominal 3” x 5” x 3/16” wall will be installed 18” above the base plate. A ground lug will be welded either on the hand hole frame or on the inside of the pole depending on the design. Anchor Bolts
Anchor bolts are fabricated from a commercial quality hot rolled carbon steel bar that meets or exceeds minimum yield strength of 55,000psi. Anchor bolts are sized according to each pole design and are furnished with 2 galvanized hex nuts and 2 galvanized flat washers. Anchor bolts for galvanized steel poles shall be fully galvanized to ASTM A-153. Anchor bolts will ship with the poles unless otherwise noted. Pole Top
Each pole will be provided with either a removable pole cap or 2 3/8” OD x 5” tenon top (other size tenons are available). The pole top assembly is determined by the type of brackets and/or fixtures to be supplied on each pole. Design
The selection of the correct pole design is predicated by the specific loading requirements of each application. The poles located in the steel pole charts are designed to withstand dead loads and theoretical dynamic loads developed by sustained winds of 80mph through 100mph time the 1.3 gust factor (Commercial Grade Design Criteria). Effective Projected Area (EPA) is the actual adjusted projected area of the fixtures and mounting equipment taking into account the appropriate shape factor to result in an area having a coefficient of drag equal to unity (1.0). The combined EPA and weight of the luminaire, light support brackets, platforms and any other attachments cannot exceed the rated EPA or allowable weight on that pole. Finish
Standard finishes available are galvanized and powder coat. Reference the “Standard Finishes” section for more information on these applications and a list of available colors.

GALVANIZING
Surface Preparation Surface preparation is the most important aspect in any coating application and involves the following three steps: caustic cleaning, pickling and fluxing. These three steps completed correctly will ensure that the product will last its expected life under conditions consistent with that particular environment. Galvanizing Process The prepared material is completely submerged in the galvanized tank consisting of a minimum 98% pure molten zinc. This percentage of zinc is specified by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The temperature in the tank is maintained at about 850°F (454°C). The material is immersed in the tank until it reaches 850°F (454°C). The material is then slowly withdrawn from the tank and the excess zinc is removed by draining, vibrating or centrifuging. Quality Our products are galvanized according to approved and highly accepted standards of the ASTM, the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). All material will be thoroughly inspected at the galvanizing facility to ensure coating thickness and appearance meet the above referenced standards.

POWDER COAT FINISH
Surface Preparation Prior to beginning the powder coat process, each shaft section is completely cleaned using a system called steel shot blasting. Steel shot blasting is the process by which each section is sent through a wheelabrator. The wheelabrator provides a massive blasting of No. 280 steel shot directed at the surface to be cleaned. This process meets the Steel Structures Painting Council Surface Preparation Specification No. 6 (SSPC-SP6). Powder Coat Application Electrostatic spraying is the most common method for applying powder. The powder is fed pneumatically from a reservoir to a spray gun where a low amperage, high voltage charge is imparted to the particles. The parts to be coated are grounded so the charged particle will seek the oppositely-charged metal surface. This method will produce a uniform, monolithic, fusion-bonded finish. The powder coated steel parts will then go through an oven where the resins, pigments and other reactive agents cross link to produce a high molecular weight binder system, resulting in a tough durable coating. Quality Powder coating was developed for outstanding weather ability, toughness and architectural aesthetics. The high molecular weight of powder coatingprovides better corrosion, impact, chip and scratch resistance versus using the brush on paint method. CHM Industries will provide a protective foam wrap on each pole section to protect the surface during the shipping process.
