6.2 POSITIONING
The instrument will function according to the technical parameters foreseen if it is cor-
rectly positioned vertically on a planar surface.
Note: the calculation of the surface load of each foot is performed in the most conserva-
tive manner for an instrument with all options.
An instrument (with environmental chamber) weighs approximately 400 kg, when it is
equipped with a full set of additional weights (37 kg) and with a specimens support (20
kg), the total weight becomes 457 kg approx. (4483 N).
6.2.1 SURFACE LOAD IN STATIC CONDITION
The surface on which the in-
strument is placed must be
able to hold a minimum weight
of 1.5 kg/cm
2
(15 N/cm

) at the
location of each foot.

Suggestions: place the instrument on the ground floor of reinforced-concrete
and far from other instruments for vibration problem.
