Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What does "resin coated"mean, what are the advantages of coated fasteners and which sort of fasteners are coated?
2. Which fasteners are certified according to DIN 1052 part 2 and do you have staples in your product range with construction certification?
3. How do I choose the right compressor for each tool?
1. What is "resin coated", what are the advantages of coated fasteners and which sort of fasteners are coated?
Answer:
When driving the fastener, the resin coat is warmed by friction heat which creates an additional bond between the wood and the fastener. This increases the maximum load taken by the fastener. Staples used in houses and other buildings have to be resin coated according to DIN 1052 part 2 (Eurocode 5). New developments in resin material allow us to use environmentally friendly resins and still achieve maximum holding power.
2. Which fasteners are certified according to DIN 1052 part 2 or do we have staples in our product range with construction certification?
Answer:
BeA produces and distributes construction staples with certification according to DIN 1052 part 2 (Eurocode 5) in various executions (stainless and galvanized) and lengths (38-78 mm). The staples are resin coated and can take a permanent load in pull-out direction. This has to be proved regularly with corresponding tests.
1. Building permits for fasteners (in german)
2. DIN 1052 part of 2 for nails (in german)
3. Permission of the European pallet Association (EPAL) (in german)
Through intensive self-control - certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 - we ensure to produce and distribute to our customers only high-quality products..
3. Which tool matches which compressor and what do I have to observe in choosing a compressor?
Answer:
To calculate the effective delivered air quantity of a compressor:
a) Switch off the compressor and de-aerate container through condensate- outflow valve to 6 bar pressure.
b) Close condensate-outflow valve and switch on the compressor.
c) Stop the time (using the second hand of your watch) of how long the compressor needs to fill the container from 6 bar pressure to 8 bar pressure. Difference in pressure = 2 bar. d) Now put this time into the following formula
| Volume of Container x 2 bar x 60 |
= Real quantity delivered/min |
| Stopped time (in seconds) |
Example:
Compressor BeA K 190-10 fills a 10 litres container
from 6 bar to 8 bar in exactly 12 seconds:
| 10 x 2 x 60 |
= 100 litres/min effectively delivered |
| 12 |
Choice of compressor at the example of a compressor type BeA K 190-10
The real quantity delivered of a compressor should be double calculated use of air of the pneumatic tools to be connected. This ensures - besides a safety reserve - that the compressor works only 50% and thus a longer lifetime of your the compressor. This means you have to cut in halve the real quantity delivered for your calculation. For example BeA compressor K 190-10
| Suction of expanded air |
190 Ltr/Min |
|
| eff. quantity of air delivered |
100 Ltr/Min |
|
| 50% utilization |
50 Ltr/Min |
(when using longer air lines 10% line loss should be taken into consideration) |
| remaining for tools |
50 Ltr/Min |
|
A BeA pneumatic nailer type 420 needs 0,3 litres/cycle. Thus 166 staples/min can be driven in with the compressor BeA K 190-10.
