Guest Arnold Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 41 minutes ago, HirstWhoScoredIt said: The bit I didn't get is that there are 1,000 kg in a tonne. Therefore 3,000kg in a tonne. Average supporter weighs (optimistically because most of us are fatter) 75 kg. That means only 40 supporters can stand on our bridge at any one time But that is what I was told by a club official. Plus the weight of the crane and the people with it plus the badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatbloke Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 4 minutes ago, ANDY said: Keeping things simple, steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, whereas stainless steel is essentially an alloy of iron, carbon and chromium or iron, carbon chromium and nickel. All forms of steel, whether they be ordinary iron and carbon alloy or stainless steel are made from a melt in furnaces. Because of this stainless steel cannot be plated to ordinary steel by chemical means either. Stainless steel can be welded to ordinary steel but a TIG welder is required, but this wouldn't suit your purposes. Hot dipping is unlikely to be an option due to the melting temperatures of ordinary steel and stainless steel. Depending on the type of stainless steel, the temperatures will be similar or higher for stainless steel. This would damage the main item made from ordinary steel. Stainless steel can be stick welded to stainless steel' and so does not req tig welding as stated ,you're not a real welder are You ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find that 1016kg and 2240 pounds are the same weight Therefore, my maths was only out by 16kg per tonne, 48kg in total. Therefore, I apologise, 3 tonnes equals 40 people and a child.

S36 OWL Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 1 hour ago, HirstWhoScoredIt said: The new badge has been made out of plated steel and is going above the main entrance at the end of the South Stand bridge. It should be up for Sunday. Apparently it looks extremely impressive, is made out of 'plated stainless steel' (not sure what that means), weighs 6 tonnes and cost a fortune. Technical issues with putting it up though as our South Stand bridge is only supposed to hold 3 tonnes which means we couldn't just drive it across the bridge. we could sail it down the Don then hoist it into position. job sorted.
