Any one with info on or explanation of this?–
resistance to understanding 150KG/CM [CM is squared]
This regards a heavy duty floor
Ralph,
My source (converter) says it is a metric unit of pressure.
For example 2000 psi = 140.6139 kg/cm2
Thanks so much, Wayne. Do you know how this factors into or is part of the strength of the floor overall [which in our case is 7000 pounds/,per the client]?
Also know of any product[s] that produce these resuts?
Ralph, typically if you are talking about compressive strength of concrete, or pressure of any kind, the metric unit of measure used megapascals (MPa - million Pascals) which is the equivalent psi.
1 psi = 0.00689475728 MPa or 6.89475728 kPa (kilopascals - 1000 Pascals)
Nominally, 3500 psi concrete is 25MPa - actual would be 3626psi (Im pretty sure anyways, have never used Christian`units for concrete since I graduated back in 1990, always metric), so 7000psi would be 50MPa. I would suspect ACI would have some metric vs. I-P equivalent values somewhere online?
You can find many conversions at www dot onlineconversion dot com, which is the site I use most of the time.
How about "Travaglini [ Compound Canada} which was used in or supplied a quote???
Ralph, is this a Product of some kind? I googled both Travaglini (which returned millions of hits including people’s last names) and Compound Canada (which the closest it returned was Compound Canada Corp - sausage casings, thermal processing equipment and spices)
Not something I am familiar with Product-wise, but I may know it as something else if you have a link to a website? You can e-mail me at paul.gerber@archispectural.ca
Ralph,
Please describe the generic family of floor products you are seeking. I am uncertain if you are looking for a high compressive strength floor finish or 7000 psi concrete.
Wayne-- the notes they gave me just say the floor requirements are the name given above, and
Hardness- Surfae MOHS 8
Abrasion resistanceTaberO,75/1000 turns
Maximum flatness-2mm/1000mm
Maximum inclination- 3mm/1000mm
Surface roughness- Max 1mm
and the resistance, etc. we first discussed here
Beyond this, we “know hothing!!!”
Hi Ralph. It sounds like a resinous floor coating requirement. I’d check with Dudick - www.dudick.com. They specialize in all types of very high-end resinous floors. Really know their stuff.
