Guest RobPark Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 On the various power sizes in table 1 of BS EN 1154 for closing moment Nm max. parameters. Where is this moment taken on the door? i.e. central or at the end. Kind regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Ashdown MAFDI Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hi Rob, You may find 'Section 3 : Door Closing Devices' of the Code of Practice : Hardware for Fire and Escape Doors useful. http://firecode.org.uk/Code_of_Practice_hardware_for_fire_and_escape_doors.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safelincs Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hi Rob In general, a moment (or torque) can be taken at any point along the width of the door and calculated by multiplying the distance (in meters) of that point from the centre of the axis (hinge) with the closing force measured (in Newton).
