What is the impact strength of the MIBT panel?
Impact strength of the panels can be classified into hard body impact and soft body
impact. The panel can take a hard body impact without any damage to the panels up to 15
Nm. For soft body impact, the value is 40 Nm. The panels do not show any visible failure
even in case of door slamming.
What is the Pull out load of the panel in case of Fixtures, wall mountings?
The Pull out load of the panel in case of fixtures is 4 KN. (i.e 40kg’s)
.What is the shear strength of the panels?
Shear strength of the panel is applicable on fixtures like air conditioners and any other wall
mountings. The panels are capable to sustain a shear load up to 74 KN (i.e. 740 Kg’s)
What is the point load the panel can take?
Point Load is applicable in applications like mezzanine flooring and cavity flooring and the
panels are capable to take point load of more than 450 kg’s with minimum deflection of 2.4
mm’s.
What uniformly distributed load (UDL) can the panel take?
The panels can take UDL (at 4 points) on 3 meter panels 400 kg’s and 1.5 meter panel
900 kgs. If 3 panels are joined and subjected to load it doubles and if 5 panels are joined it
is approx. 3 times to the single panel as per the typical test results.
What axial load can be taken by the panels?
Axial load applies for load bearing structures only. In case of roof load being transferred on
to the walls, the 50 mm panels can take applicable load of 83 Kilo Newton per metre
length.
Can the panels be used as flat roof?
Panels can be used as lean or gable roof with a minimum slope of 1 in 4 only. The panels
can be used flat for Mezzanine and Cavity Flooring.
What is the maximum height up to which panel walls can be constructed?
The panels can be constructed up to 4.5 metres height for non load bearing walls. Walls
more than 4.5 metres height would require a suitable frame work.
What is the maximum length of MIBT wall that can be constructed?
A maximum length of six metres can be constructed without any cross walls or supports.
Intermediate supports with steel would be required for larger lengths.
What is the effect on Mi Panel structures in seismic zones?
Mi Panel structures are joined with tongue and groove arrangements. These joints are not
rigid – being sealed with expandable fibre mesh tape with a fly ash and silica mixture to
prevent penetration and therefore allow lateral movements to take place. This enables the
structure to withstand movement in the earth’s crust.
