Please can you provide the load in kN which I will need to pull test a N20 post fixed rebar grade 500 to using Hilti RE 500 V4 epoxy. The rebar is for a suspended RC slab and has been embedded into a RC wall by 400mm.
Hi Sean,
Thank you very much for your question.
I've seen that you've also sent this question through our Technical Support Team and we've forward to our relevant field engineer, who will reach out to you to discuss.
In summary, the determination of the testing load should be done by the design engineer as it's dependent on design considerations for each specific application.
The recommendation is to also follow the local guidelines by the Australian Engineered Fasteners and Anchors Council (AEFAC). You can access the technical notes in the links below:

You can also read an article about this topic here >> On-site Testing - Ask HILTI
I hope the above is helpful.
Kind regards,
Ask Hilti team
