Please can you advise me of the service life of the Hilti - Hit 200 - R V3 in a marine environment?

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 I just realised that Hilti profis using the strength (fu) of the connected steel to compute weld strength, not the strength of weld material. In the example below, weld material fuw=490MPa, but the weld capacity is checked with fuw=320MPa, which is the fu of steel profile. Can you please explain the reason behind it? Previ...

Hi, I would like to know when we input the design load and sustained load in Profis, should these loads (sustained or design loads) be factored load or unfactored load? Another question is can I manually adjust the embedment depth of the HUS-4 anchor in profis to suit the design? Kind regards, Frankie

What is Hilti's recommended proof load for pull out testing an M16 HAS-U GR8.8 @ 200mm embedment with HIT HY-200R V3 Adhesive?

I have a base plate with set of anchors on either sides of the expansion joint. I have modelled the expansion joint as a discontinuous edge. However, I get a high utilization on the concrete edge breakout under Shear force, since the Profis software consider the row of anchors adjacent to the joint for checking the breakout re...

What size does the drill bit need to be for M30 chemical anchors

I inspected a ceiling where these had been used on 1200x1200 grid, based on the load capacity, they seem to be overloaded (based on the grid weight, plaster & service load). They also look like they have not been installed correctly (alot of them had spalled concrete around them and the nail had not compressed the clear washer)

Hi Team As a plumber, I use the PLT 300 to mark out drains. The builder provides the vectorized PDF which I convert and setout in Profis, then to my PLC400. requirements of the local authority request a PDF version of my layout/installation. from Profis, is there a way to save the drawing back to a PDF with all my markups?...

My design require a 120 years design life, want to know any product / the thickness of the coating required to achieve that design life.
