ECONOMICAL SIZING & ESTIMATING FOR VISAKA CORRUGATED SHEETS & ACCESSORIES.

top.gif (582 bytes)

SIZING
a) For Roof
1) Let us assume the slope lenght is L metre.

2) To cover this length, minimum number of sheets required N
    Where N=L-0.200/2.8 (a whole number).

3) Maximum sheet length required is P
    Where M= (N-1) x 0.200.

4) Maximum sheet length required is P
   Where P = L +  M => L + (N-1) x 0.200 (rounded off to next digit divisible by 0.25).

5) Once P is obtained, sizing should be done keeping the  number of sheets at N.

6) check if the slope can be covered by (P - 0.25).

7) Check that the number of purlins does not exceed - K
    Where k= L - ( a1 + a2) / 1.40 + 1 (a whole number)
    Where a1 = distance between the eaves purling and the eaves edge in - Metre.
     Where A2 = distance between the eaves purling and the eaves edge in - Metre.
b) For Wall Cladding
Most economical length is 1.75 M. which allows a Rail spacing of 1.6 M..
ESTIMATING
For both Roof & Wall Cladding. Number of sheets in a particular row
N = L - 0.04 / 1.01 (a whole number)
Where L = Length of the shed in Metre..

RECOMMENDED WORK PRACTICES DURING INSTALLATION

top.gif (582 bytes)

1. To keep dust levels down, cutting and drilling operations must be carried out in the open, or in well-ventilated areas.

2. Use hand-operated tools such as drills, hand-saws; etc.

3) Use of pneumatic/electric power tools and abrasive discs is not recommended.

4) Any waste created during working operation should be collected after damping, in impervious bags and buried underground.

CAUTION: Asbestos Cement products present no known risk to health as they contain only a small percentage of asbestos firmly 'Locked in' with cement during manufacture. Follow recommended work pratices during installation to avoid emission of dust. Inhaling of asbestos dust in excessive amounts over a prolonged period can be injurious to health.
