Hi guys. Not sure if this is the place to ask this.I'm working on a project at university, and I've designed a certain chamber (steel) that weighs about 250kg. We're currently having it undergo fabrication as of now.Anyway, we needed to elevate the chamber for the experiments and after scavenging, we found this stand made from aluminium profiles in another lab.We're wondering if the clamps already on it are able to withstand the weight of the chamber.This is what the stand and the clamps look like.Frame: http://ift.tt/2D91u6K: http://ift.tt/2msSu21 clamp's taken from top view.The profiles are 80x80 mm and 80x40mm, so we're confident they're thick enough to withstand the weight.However due to the arrangement of the profiles where the horizontal beams aren't resting on the vertical ones, the weight of the chamber will be supported mostly by the clamps. Hence the worry.We're hoping we can proceed without further works (i.e. cutting profiles, purchasing clamps etc.)Furthermore, we're not sure which company the lab procured the stand, and the lab techs said they've forgotten, so asking the company is not an option.Thanks for the help! via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2mAvT4p
