Total Minutes 470


7 hours 50 minutes
Notes:
*Reading to be taken immediately before and after each loading increse and decrease
*For 100% and 200% of loading maintained
- reading to be taken immediately after loading increse, thereafter 15th,30th, 45th and 60th in first hour.
- subsequent reading to be taken hourly.

Example (calculation from ton to psi)


Hydraulic jack, cylinder effective area = 227.3 In2
1T = 2204lb

For max test load , the pressure in( 410.0 X2204)/ 227.3
PSI =
= 3975.5
