- Description
- Tuttle Creek Dam has an emergency gate that closes the conduit by its own weight. The gate is lowered via wire rope attached to a 30 ton crane. It is desireed to measure the gate's weight as it is closing. It is believed that closing the gate in high pools may be difficult or impossible given the friction forces on the gate. To measure the gates weight, a load sensing instrumentation is required to be purchased. The instrument must satisfy the following: Capture load between 0 and 40,000 lbs, with a data acquisitioning system's total error near 1%. Manufacturer's specifications shall be supplied with calibration date. Capable of acquiring data while submerged. Minimum sample rate 2 Hz. Capable of transmitting data to a hand-held gauge (5 digit display) approximately 175' away. Mountable to the hook, lifting beam, or gate in a way that does not require repairs to the hook, lifting beam, or gate upon removal of the instrumentation. The device shall not be connected to the lifting apparatus (hook or wire rope) in a way, as defined by EM 385-1-1 that modifies or requires reassembly, such that load tests are required each time the device is installed or removed. The 30 ton crane's hook is a Special No 17 Vulcan Hook; the lifting beam's eye has a 6 inch diameter hole with 2 1/4 inch thickness. The eye screws into the lifting unit with a 3-3 1/2 inch N.C.-2threads, 4 1/2inches long. Have a factor of safety of 5. A load rating certificationi for the device is required. Made of stainless steel.
