High Pressure Hydraulics

• Working pressure 320, 450 or 700 bar?
Jack 100t pressure Ø piston Ø outside
280 x 280 mm² 320 bar 200 mm 260 mm
450 bar 170 mm 220 mm
700 bar 135 mm 175 mm
• Use of locking nut on piston
• Group of connected jacks
• PPU’s with digital load- and distances measurements
Stability and Eccentricities 1

• What is Stability? Impact horizontal loads on the jacking system
Fh ≥ 2% of the mass or 1% + Fh-wind + Fh-impact >100 kN
Stability and Eccentricities 2

• Eccentricities
e ≥ 10 mm with (bolted) standard elements
e ≥ 20 mm with different elements
e ≥ 50 mm on sliding systems with side-guidances
e ≥ ?? mm caused by temperature
Human factor
• PBI: ‘one of a kind’ operations
• Method Statement - Cinematics of the operation
• Engineering assumptions & considerations
• Instructions + Training operational team
