5. BCGCM 1005B – Carry out Measurements and Calculations


Measuring, Calculating and Quantities(Candidate will require a calculator)

5.1 You are assembling a steel framed structure and the fire sprinkler contractor requires you to lift a large number of 150mm Ø flanged end rolled hollow section steel tubes to the roof area.

There are a total of 180 tubes to lift to the rooftop for later assembly. Each tube is 6 metres in length, with a mass of 19.2 kg per lineal metre. There is a flange welded to each end of the pipes.

Each flange has a mass of 1.4 kg. The load chart confirms that the crane is good for 2,180 kg at the location and radius required.

Calculate for me the minimum number of loads it will take to safely bundle, lift and place all 180 flanged tubes?

5.1 Correctly calculated the minimum number of loads required.

Total mass per 6 metre tube = 115.2 kg (without flanges)Total mass of each flange = 1.4 kg (2 per tube) Total mass of each 6 metre tube fitted with two flanges = 118 kgTotal mass of all 180 flanged tubes = 21,240 kgThe 2,180 kg SWL should be rounded down to 2000 kg

WLL per lift. It will therefore take a minimum of 11 lifts to transfer all 180 flanged tubes to the rooftop. (maximum of 16 tubes per bundle)

Tolerances (Equipment Performance Limitations)

5.2 If each of the flanged tube bundles has a mass of approximately 2000 kg, can you tell me what colour round synthetic slings you would use to reeve and lift each of the bundles?

5.2 Correctly identified the colour of the synthetic sling that would be required to safely lift a reeved bundle.Yellow (3000 kg WLL)
