The ARCEL Design Calculator provides minimum cushion thickness and bearing area for drop heights between 6 inches and 60 inches.
Use this program as often as you wish. The design tips can help you optimize cushion design to reduce damage and minimize cushion thickness.
|
| Range is 2 lbs to 500 lbs. |
Range is 4 inches to 60 inches; different drop heights for each face may be appropriate;
See Design Tip Below |
| Range is 2 inches² to 2000 inches²; For oddly shaped objects, available bearing area must be estimated |
| NOVA recommends designers consider using 2nd impact curves when using ARCEL for the parcel shipments (especially for the bottom face); 1st impact may be appropriate for utilized loads; See Design Tip Below |
| Automatically Calculated. Do Not Change |
| Automatically Calculated. Do Not Change |
| NOVA recommends 1.5 pcf (24kg/m³) for 1st impact or 1.3 pcf (21 kg/m³) for multiple impacts; however, higher densities may be appropriate for heavy, dense objects or lower densities for very light objects |
| Automatically Calculated.Recommended Cushion Thikness; Change inputs for various faces to calculate other thiknesses if desired |
| Automatically Calculated.Recommended Bearing Area; Change inputs for other faces to achieve different results if desired |
| Automatically Calculated.Recommended Static Stress; Change inputs for other faces to achieve different results if desired |
|
| Note: Rolling mouse, over the title, will give you tips for values. |
