Test Report

Static Strength Pullout test measures the strength of the metal embedment component manufactured into and M/Bed concrete masonry unit to resist a pull out load.  Values shown for single-face embedment components have the lowest pullout resistance.

Unit Minimum Strength
881E 6,500 lbs
8161F 10,250 lbs
8162F 48,400 lbs

Cyclic Fatigue Loading Test measures the strength of the embedment component to resist shear and movement when cyclical loads are applied directly to the surface platos of the plates. The test simulate the repeated loading which might be applied to an M/Bed block system from the attachment of a cantilevered bunk frame.  

Unit Number of Cycles Maximum Load Arm Displacement
881F 100,000 .31 inches
882F 100,000 .04 inches
Note:  Loading sequence 0-400-0 lbs for 60,000 cycles and then 0-500-0 lbs for 40,000 cycles.
