Acro Props

Introduction:

Props play an indispensable role in construction industry. Due to recent technological advances in construction sector, making large structures is no longer a challenge. Thanks to acro props, as now you can raise large towers carrying minimal risks such as support failures. Besides, they have simply revolutionized the age-old methods of using bamboos for support.

In Principle What Do Props Resemble To?

Indeed, they play a larger role in supporting concrete framework as compared to traditional bamboos. In fact, these propping works is similar in principle to a car jack. Your car jack provides support to your car by elevating it from ground allowing you to fix the tire. Similarly, props allow you to construct and fix concrete walls without endangering your life.

They Safeguard Your Life:

Apart from imparting stability to the structure, propping provides protection to the construction. Most constructions work involves different types of propping, such as acro props, super props and peri props. These props play an important role from safety point of view. It is ideal to involve them into construction as they protect lives of workers who work aside these propping.

Variety Of Acro Props:

Unlike acro props, peri props are adjustable up to 6250 mm, thus making them very convenient for tall constructions. In fact, the strength of bamboos was one of the limitations why it is not allow in sky rises. However, owing to different designs such as 13 to 30 kg, acro props can withstand loads between 6 to 42 KN (Kilo Newton.)

Good Threading Is Important:

Good threading ensures better performance of the prop. In fact, you can choose different props as per your construction design and needs. There are different props that come in different designs. Besides, you may refer to the catalog that provides comprehensive detail on various props along with their specifications. You may refer to an engineer or architect before finalizing on which prop to go for.

Mechanism Explained:

To understand how props work, you need not be a qualified engineer. Even a garage mechanic can understand the principal behind its actual work. However, you need to understand what threads are. Threading are helical grooves marked into inner side of the circular pipes. Then, there is another steel rod having similar pitch of grooves marked over its outer surface. Thus, inner rod, which is denser than outer rod, can rail over outer rod until it supports the structure.

Pitch Of Threads:

Apart from good quality of threading, its pitch too plays an important role. Shorter the pitch distance, higher would be the number of threads, which would further add strength to the prop. However, there is calculation, which lets you decide the optimum number of possible thread for a steel of particular strength. Hence, optimization is require, which in turns saves the cost.

Optimize The Cost:

To optimize the cost, use right combination of propping. You may use acro props of adequate height, width and weight, depending on where it will be use. It is ideal to consult either an expert before implementing props at given places. It is dangerous to fit wrong prop without knowing what load is it design to carry. Hence, always use a prop specification chart before calculating details such as where to place them or how many in numbers are required.
