Calculation of Material Consumption
The material consumption is calculated from the sum of the depths of all drill holes times the corresponding factor (according to the table) of the drill hole diameter used.
In the table you will find the factors in the most common weight and length units in the construction industry as well as in combination.
You have 15 drill holes with a diameter of 35 mm and a depth of 0.60 mtr. The factor = 1.6 kg. Calculate 15 x 0.60 mtr x 1.6 kg = 14.4 kg BETONAMIT®.
Material Consumption
The consumption per meter of borehole to be filled depends on the borehole diameter. To calculate the required amount of Betonamit, the sum of all boreholes in meters or feet is multiplied by the respective factor.
Examples
You have 10 drill holes (ø 40mm) with a depth of 0.3 meters
Factor for ø 40 mm: 2.2 kg (table)
10 holes x 0.3 m x 2.2 kg = 6.6 kg Betonamit
You have 10 holes (ø 1 1/2″) with a depth of 5 feet
Factor for ø 1 1/2″: 1.34 lb (table)
10 holes x 5 feet x 1.34 lb = 67 lb Betonamit
Technical Specifications & Reaction Time
The following table shows the expected reaction time as a function of temperature. You will also find further helpful information on the application here. As the drill hole diameter has an enormous effect on the expansion force and reaction time, we recommend selecting the largest possible drill bit wherever possible.
