Introduction and components
Sustainability
Certification
Re-use and recycling
Metsec and voestalpine both regard the issue of sustainability as a core social, as well as corporate, responsibility. This has been recognised by the award of BS EN ISO 14001:2004 for our Environmental Management System. Metsec were the first cold roll-forming company to be awarded the prestigious gold standard under the Steel Construction Sustainability Charter. Additionally, Metsec recognise that environmental responsibility is both a local as well as a global issue. We were therefore pleased to be awarded the Sandwell Borough Platinum Environmental Charter Award following an audit of our Environmental management procedures and award of BS EN ISO 14001:2004.
Design
Steel is one of the Worlds most recycled materials. According to the British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA), recovery rates for steel components from building demolition sites are 84% for recycling and 10% for re-use*. This gives a total potential recovery and re-use factor of steel from buildings of an incredible 94%.

Independently, as well as with voestalpine, Metsec will continue to pursue sustainability as a key business objective. The cornerstone of this is the very thorough and detailed societal, economic and environmental sustainability review of our operations carried out in the SPeAR (Sustainable Project Appraisal Routine) Report from Arup. This report gives us both an assessment of our current environmental position as well as identifying key areas for improvement in the future. To quote from the report: The baseline SPeAR diagram shows a well balanced performance in terms of sustainability, and that Metsec is already meeting legislation or best practice in the large majority of areas. In some cases Metsec is starting to move beyond best practice.

Product range summary
Product range Cable ladder systems Metstrut cable ladder systems are widely accepted due to their strength to weight ratio and simplicity of design. Easily installed and with a comprehensive range of accessories, Metstrut cable ladder systems can be found in applications throughout the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe.
Cable tray systems Metstrut cable tray systems have been designed after considerable consultation with end users and installers to arrive at a final design that satisfies all of their requirements. Each cable tray range features a unique slotting pattern in the base and the return flange ranges have slotted sides. Additionally, each tray range has the same footprint to aid setting out when final loadings are not yet available.
Cable trunking systems Metstrut cable trunking systems are available as standard distribution trunking and also as lighting trunking. Manufactured on state of the art computer controlled equipment with a high level of automation, Metstrut cable trunking is of economic design to provide competitive solutions.

Cable ladder systems

Metstrut cable ladder systems have been developed to provide cost effective solutions for the support of cables in a wide range of market sectors.
These sectors include: * Commercial * Education * Health * Oil and Gas * Petrochemical * Power Generation * Retail * Telecoms * Tunnels The comprehensive Metstrut cable ladder range consists of four systems commencing with the 50mm deep light duty, up to the150mm deep extra heavy duty, all with a wide offering of accessories. Slotted side rails whilst allowing easy connection to each other also allows site cut ladders to be connected generally without the need to drill. Additionally, Metstrut cable ladders have an excellent strength to weight ratio providing a versatile approach to the support of cables. For projects requiring long, straight runs of cable ladder, Metstrut manufactures to order 6m lengths of straight ladder that speeds up the installation process and reduces the number of splice plates required for an even more cost effective solution. This would be particularly applicable to tunnel projects and large power stations or petrochemical installations. Metstrut is a leading manufacturer of cable ladder for not only the UK market, but also manufactures for export. European widths of cable ladder are available in increments of 100mm up to 900mm wide. Rung configurations are traditionally with open faces alternately positioned up and down at 300mm centres. Cable ladders with rungs facing all down or all up are also available to order. Offering comprehensive design solutions and flexible production through lean manufacturing principles, and with a very high on-time and infull delivery performance, Metstrut has earned the reputation for its high level of service. Development and testing Metstrut cable ladder systems have been developed in house and fully supported by independent testing in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. Further verification testing has also been carried out under the requirements of BS EN 61537:2007 - cable management cable tray systems and cable ladder systems. These tests include: impact resistance, marking, connection of re-usable components, safe working load tests, electrical continuity, and performance of steel at extreme temperature ranges.
Load tables Safe load tables are provided in a unique format for easy comparison and cost optimisation. Load tables assume an even distribution of load across the width of the ladder fixed in a horizontal plane, and that the loading is similar on at least two or more continuous spans. For non-uniform loads or spans/loadings outside the scope of the tables, please contact Metstrut for advice.

Cable tray systems
Cable tray systems

Metstrut cable tray systems have been developed after significant consultation with major installers. This ensures the systems meet and surpass key requirements providing innovative and cost effective solutions in an increasingly demanding market
The comprehensive Metstrut cable tray range consists of three systems ranging from the light duty non-return flange cable tray to two systems with cable-friendly return flange trays, medium duty 25mm deep and heavy duty 50mm deep. The unique perforation pattern allows ease of attachment of cables with more than adequate ventilation. The side walls of the medium and heavy duty ranges are also slotted as standard. Light duty cable trays are available in widths of 50, 75, 100, 150, 225 and 300mm. Medium duty trays are available in widths of 50, 75, 100,150, 225, 300, 450 and 600mm. Heavy duty trays are available in widths of 75, 100, 150, 225, 300, 450, 600, 750 and 900mm wide. Each type of tray is a total system with a wide selection of support accessories to provide comprehensive site installation solutions. Metstrut cable trays are manufactured on sophisticated CNC equipment in a world class manufacturing cell engaging a high level of automation for fast moving items. This allows Metstrut to maintain a very high level of on time in full delivery performance. Comprehensive stocks of cable trays and accessories in both pre-galvanised and post hot dip galvanised finish are carried at all times to ensure timely delivery. Development and testing Metstrut cable tray systems have been fully tested to develop accurate loading graphs. Further verification tests have also been done under the requirements of BS EN 61537:2007 Cable management cable tray systems and cable ladder systems. These tests include impact resistance, marking, connection of re-usable components, safe working load tests, electrical continuity, and performance of steel at extreme temperature ranges.

Cable tray systems
Loading graphs Safe working loads are represented graphically as shown and are based on the cable tray being continuous over four spans or more. Deflection has been limited to SPAN/200 generally, based on the end span condition as the worst case. Deflection will be less than this on internal spans. However, on wider trays, additional deflection will be induced locally across the base of the tray, depending on the width of the tray and the load distribution across the width. This will not be detrimental to the structural performance of the tray but may need consideration if appearance is of prime importance. Non-return flange - light duty

Bespoke systems In addition to standard cable tray systems, Metstrut has the ability to manufacture non standard cable tray systems to order. Due to sophisticated equipment and software, prototypes can be produced quickly for sample approval. It is important for customers to issue the complete order at the outset to allow full use of materials and avoid expensive waste.

System configuration and support Metstrut cable trays are designed as a complete system with simple accessories. Integral connectors are included for bends tees etc. for all cable tray ranges. When installing Metstrut cable trays care should be taken to ensure accessories (e.g. bends, tees, crossovers etc.) have adequate support with additional supports for larger components. Light duty cable tray straights have one end swaged for easy connection to the next tray. When light duty straight trays are cut to smaller lengths on site connection to the next tray requires a fishplate.

Technical construction details Medium and heavy duty cable tray systems have cable-friendly return flanges that are also slotted for all widths as standard. The unique perforation pattern in the base of the cable trays allows ease of attachment for cables with more than adequate ventilation. All Metstrut cable tray ranges have the same plan footprint that facilitates the set out of cable runs prior to finalisation of design.

Cable trunking systems
Metstrut cable trunking systems meet the requirements of a demanding electrical installations market. Utilising world class production methods Metstrut are able to offer competitive solutions to a high level of service.
The comprehensive Metstrut cable trunking ranges consist of standard distribution trunking and lighting trunking. Standard distribution trunking is available in widths and depths up to 225mm as standard. Lids are attached by turnbuckle fixings, with Screwfix and tamperproof fixings also available. Lighting trunking is available in 50mm x 50mm with straights in various length configurations. This range utilises the Standard distribution trunking components but with snap on lids available in pre galvanised steel or white plastic. This allows flexibility on site when using both systems. Metstrut cable trunking systems are manufactured on sophisticated CNC equipment with a high level of automation for fast moving items. The fully integrated production process ensures Metstrut is able to offer a high level of service. Development and testing Metstrut trunking systems have been developed to meet the requirements of BS EN 50085-1: 2005 and BS EN 50085-2-1:2006 Cable trunking systems and cable ducting systems for electrical installations.

Metstrut Cable Trunking Systems generally conform to BS EN 50085-1:2005 Cable trunking systems and cable ducting systems for electrical installations-Part 1: General requirements, and BS EN 50085-2-1:2006 Cable trunking systems and cable ducting systems for electrical installations-Part 2-1: Cable trunking systems and cable ducting systems intended for mounting on walls and ceilings. The above supercedes BS 4678, now withdrawn. This European Standard specifies requirements and tests for cable trunking systems and cable ducting systems intended for the accommodation, and where necessary, for the electrically protective separation, of insulated conductors, cables and possibly other electrical equipment in electrical and/or communication systems installations. The maximum voltage of these installations is 1000V a.c. and 1500V d.c. This standard does not apply to conduit systems, cable tray systems, cable ladder systems, power track systems or equipment covered by other standards. 3 Definitions For the purpose of this European Standard the following definitions apply. 3.1 Cable trunking system Assembly comprising a trunking length and possibly other system components to provide an enclosure for the accommodation and laying in of insulated conductors and cables and possibly the accommodation of other electrical equipment. 3.3 System component Part of the system which includes: a) trunking length b) trunking fitting c) fixing device d) apparatus mounting device e) system accessory NB a system does not necessarily include all system components a) to e). Different combinations of system components may be used. 3.4 Trunking length Main component of a cable trunking system comprising a base with one or more access covers which may be opened or removed. 3.6 Fitting System component to connect, change direction or terminate trunking lengths 3.7 Fixing device System component to secure other system components to the wall, ceiling, floor or other structure. 3.8 Apparatus mounting device System component to accommodate electrical apparatus, (switches, socket outlets, circuit breakers, telephone outlets, etc.) which can be an integral part of electrical apparatus. 3.9 System accessory System component which provides a supplementary function. 3.10 Metallic system component System component which consists of metal only. 3.12 Composite system component System component comprising both metallic and nonmetallic materials. 4 General requirements Metstrut Cable trunking systems have been designed and constructed so that, where required, they provide reliable mechanical protection to the insulated conductors, cables and possibly other electrical equipment. Where required the system provides adequate electrical protection. The system components meet the classifications as detailed/highlighted in Section 6. 6 Classifications 6.2 According to resistance to impact for installation and application 6.2.3 Metstrut cable trunking systems offer impact resistance of 2 J 6.3 According to temperatures as given in Tables 1,2 & 3 Table 1 Minimum temperature

Metal framing systems
The Metstrut metal framing system provides flexible and economical support solutions for mechanical and electrical services.
Four channel profiles are available as plain back or slotted back variants and each can be assembled into multiple configurations when additional load carrying capacity is needed. This is further complimented with a wide range of brackets and fasteners to achieve almost any framework assembly and configuration. Metal framing systems can be found in almost all building sectors and in a wide range of applications. Often used as a first fix component, Metstrut systems are used to support cable trays, cable ladders and other items of capital equipment. Cut-to-length service Metstrut offers a competitive cut-to-length service. By cutting in process the integrity of the pre galvanised coating is maintained on the cut end. This service reduces the potential for waste when cut on site and provides substantial labour savings. Pre fabrication service Considerable savings can be made on site by prefabrication modules and bracketry. Metstrut offers this service see page 86.

Standards
The Metstrut metal framing system comprises of single and combination channels, assembly brackets, channel nuts and fasteners. The integration of these items in their use, forms the basis of the system and as such should be purchased as a complete system. The Metstrut metal framing system conforms to BS 6946:1988, the British Standard Specification for Metal channel cable support systems for electrical installations. Independent testing has been carried out to verify the load tables for the various channels and to determine pull out and slip performance of the channel nuts when used as a system. It is this system integrity that needs to be maintained for all installations to meet site safety requirements. The material used for the Metstrut channels meets and surpasses the minimum yield strength of 250 N/mm2 and brackets have a minimum yield strength of 170 N/mm2. Sectional dimensions The Standard requires channel sections to meet the dimensional requirements stated when measured not less than 150mm from the end. Twist will not be greater than 2.5 degrees per metre and bow shall not exceed 5mm for channel 3m in length and 10mm for channel 6m in length, when measured at the centre of the length. Safe working slip and pull-out loads These have been determined by carrying out the tests in accordance with the method stated in section 8 of the standard. It should be noted that the channel nuts are a vital component within the system and the numerous imported products do not necessarily carry the same load and should never be mixed with Metstrut systems. Marking Metstrut channels are marked at regular intervals along their length in the production process. The standard requires the name of the manufacturer and BS 6946:1988 Brackets and other components are marked by labelling the packaging. Combination channels Channels that are required in multiple configurations e.g. back to back channel, are supplied spot welded as standard. These channels should always be fully supported at each end under the bottom face and the load should never be hung from just the lips of the bottom channel. Spot welding should never be loaded in tension or the load applied as a bending moment.

Material specification 1. Channels: manufactured from steel complying with BS EN 10326:2004 pre galvanised, BS EN 10025-2:2004 mild steel hot dip galvanised after manufacture to BS EN 1461:1999 and BS EN 10088-2:2005 stainless steel grade 316L. 2. Brackets: manufactured from steel complying with BS EN 10025-2:2004 mild steel hot dip galvanised after manufacture to BS EN 1461:1999 and BS EN 10088-2:2005 stainless steel grade 316L. 3. Fixings: bolts, hexagon nuts, screws and washers manufactured from steel complying with DIN938/8, DIN 933/8.8, BS4320 and zinc plated and CR3 passivated or hot dip galvanised after manufacture to BS EN 1461:1999. Stainless steel to BS EN 10088-2:2005 grade 316L A4. Dimensions and tolerances In accordance with BS 6946:1988 Metal Channel Cable Support Systems for Electrical Installations. Channel notation Metsec channel references are serialised for easy recognition and use, eg: channel series MS4125 comprises single channel or combinations of channel within the basic section profile thus:
MS 41 25 (C2)
Suffix combinations using 2-no. standard sections in this example
5. Alternative beam safe load tables are provided for a uniformly distributed load or load concentrated near the centre of the span.eg:
Load uniformly distributed Load concentrated near centre of span
Le Beam span
Le Beam span
6. Beam loads and corresponding deflections are calculated at a stress of 175N/mm2 i.e.: using a global factor of safety of 1.6 to determine safe working loads from limit state analysis (ultimate stress 1.6 = 175N/mm2). Beam safe loads tabulated with corresponding deflections may be used in the rare case where excessive deflection does not impair the strength or efficiency of the structure or its components or cause damage to the supported work. Alternative safe loads are tabulated with deflections limited to span/200 or span/360 at the discretion of the designer and recommended where deflections are critical. It is easily recognisable from the tables whether the design of the beam is governed by deflection or stress on a given span i.e.: the critical load is highlighted in colour. 7. Column effective lengths shall be determined by the designer in accordance with Table 9 of BS 5950: Part 5: 1998. 8. Beam loads are generally applied at the column face via the connection bracket. Therefore column safe load tables are provided allowing for this eccentricity of load from the centroid of the section.

Rapid installation system
The Metstrut rapid installation system offers end users and installers a substantial time saving during the installation process of up to 50%
Metstrut has developed a new rapid installation system that comprises of a unique 2mm thick ribbed channel and a range of pre assembled brackets. The high tensile spring washer draws the channel nut to engage the channel lips. The bracket is then held in place ready for final positioning and tightening to the correct torque. Stud connectors are inserted in exactly the same way. This process allows framework assemblies to be site built very quickly, to facilitate the implementation of fast track programmes. On projects requiring a substantial amount of brackets, installation times can be reduced by over 50%.
The channel profile is available as standard in pre galvanised material, with post hot dip galvanised to order, in 2m, 4m and 6m lengths. Alternative lengths are available to order and Metstrut also offers a cut-to-length service. The Multi slot back allows for a flexible range of fixings from M6 to M12, at 100mm centres, to either the supporting structure or bracketry. All components are fully compatible with other Metstrut Channels and brackets for a fully integrated system. The unique and patented Rapid Installation System has pre assembled channel nuts incorporated into the bracket complete with M10 hex head bolt. The brackets are quickly attached to the channel by simply aligning the channel nut into the open face of the channel. This is followed by depressing the head of the bolt and twisting it through 90, then releasing.
Where the channel is used in situations that require the fixing bolts to pass through the back of the channel from the inside, a thin wall socket tool is available for M10 fixings

Introduction to load tables Comprehensive load tables are provided for each channel series. Basis of design and formulation of load tables 1. Safe loads are calculated in accordance with BS 5950 - 5:1998 2. Minimum Yield Stress (Ys) 280N/mm2 3. Beams are assumed simply supported and must be provided with adequate restrain for lateral torsional buckling on the given span. 4. Beam loads are supplied through the shear centre of the section in the direction indicated in the tables. Alternative beam safe loads are provided for a uniformly distributed load concentrated near the centre of the span. 5. Alternative column safe loads are provided for load applied at the centroid of the section or at the section face. 6. For greater eccentricities please consult Metstrut. 7. Le is the beam span between supports or the column effective length determined in accordance with Table 9, BS 5950 - 5:1998. NB: Maximum slenderness ratio for columns permitted by BS 5950 - 5:1998 is 180. If this is exceeded, then provide additional restraints or use a bigger section. Example:
Load uniformly distributed Load concentrated near centre of span
Beam loads are generally applied at the column face via the connection bracket. Therefore column safe load tables are provided allowing for this eccentricity of load from the centroid of the section. Connections
Integral fittings
Pre-assembled nuts are designed to be rapidly inserted into the channel and locked into position by a simple push and twist action. They can then be easily adjusted to their final position and tightened to the correct torque.
Channel sockets
To provide a totally flexible product range, specially designed sockets can be used to fit between the internal lips of the channel to facilitate tightening of bolts through the slotted back. This allows fixings to be used from both sides of the channel quickly and efficiently. M10CS1/2 1/2in drive M10SCS3/8 3/8in drive The sockets are available for M10 hex head bolts and with two drive sizes 1/2in and 3/8in. Recommended maximum load 110Nm.
Le Beam span
Le Beam span
Beam loads and corresponding deflections are calculated at a stress of 175N/mm2 i.e.: using a global factor of safety of 1.6 to determine safe working loads from limit state analysis (ultimate stress/1.6 = 175N/mm2). Beam safe loads tabulated with corresponding deflections may be used in the rare case where excessive deflection does not impair the strength or efficiency of the structure or its components, or cause damage to the supported work. Alternative safe loads are tabulated with deflections limited to span/200 or span/360 at the discretion of the designer and recommended where deflections are critical. It is easily recognisable from the tables whether the design of the beam is governed by deflection or stress on a given span i.e.: the critical load is highlighted in colour.

Prefabrication
Prefabrication
Prefabrication not only reduces waste and contributes to site safety, but also provides cost effective solutions manufactured to factory tolerances.
Metstrut offers a comprehensive prefabrication service ranging from simple cut lengths of channel to complex frames and brackets. Cut-to-length service Dedicated machine time is allowed daily for 41 x 41mm channel for pre galvanised, post hot dip galvanised and stainless steel finishes. The Metstrut sales office produces Kanbans and the work is scheduled at point of order without the need to consult with production. Other channel sizes can be scheduled into normal production cycles.
Prefabricated frames Both flat frames and three dimensional frames can be prefabricated in either all bolted or all welded construction. Part bolted and part welded frames can also be accommodated, particularly when parts need to be removed to allow access for cable runs. Metstrut can also build in cable tray, cable ladder and cable trunking within the frames for a complete modular solution. Prefabrication offsite allows the work to be produced to factory tolerances with little to no waste leaving sites uncluttered and a safer environment.
86
Prefabrication
Optimising design and assembly By providing basic drawings, M & E contractors can benefit from Metstruts expertise in determining where support systems can be pre fabricated. This is then converted to a CAD drawing identifying areas that can be provided as a frame, with the balance in cut lengths to complete the kit. Once an order is placed, Metstrut will attend a precommencement meeting to schedule the delivery requirements and agree any outstanding technical details, including vehicle restrictions and packing requirements. For bolted frames, all connections are torqued to the appropriate level and passed off by the quality department. Less complex assemblies can be supplied against an approved drawing for manufacture and delivered against a call off order scheduled to meet the project requirements. This can be particularly advantageous when there are space restrictions on site for both storage and installation
