CombustibleFloorSystemLoading
Important:
Floor framing for IBV installation will need to
be designed and built to accept substantial dead loads spread
overarelativesmalloorarea.(Figure1)
The following weights and sizes can be used to
calculate loading. It is the contractor’s responsibility to provide
adequateoorsystemloadcapacity.
IBV Weights and Load Calculations:
Total dead load amounts include (but are not necessarily limited
to) the following items and their corresponding weight estimates
as listed below:
1. Isokern unit model weights:
a. IBV-46: 1400 lb
b. IBV-36: 1200 lb
2. Approximate weight of log set: 100 lb.
3. Fire brick and mortar: 350 lb.
4. Facing material: per general contractor
5.BVentmetalue:permanufacturer
Theoorareaforeachmodelisasfollows:
IBV-46 @ 53” x 25.25” = 9.30 sq. ft.
IBV-36 @ 43” x 25.25” = 7.54 sq. ft.
