ØRKILD FOUNDRY
Foundry since 1831
Iron keel  

Capacity:
Finn keels, wing keels, bulb keels, or centreboard keels, weighing up to 12000 kgs.
delivered worldwide at competitive prices.
As to given measurement or template ØRKILD can deliver keels with stanless steel
bolts in threadholes in flange.

Keel design: OBS
Experience shows that difference in thickness can create important 50 % or more in
variation of mechanical strength in comparison with mechanical strength given in
material specification.

ØRKILD therefore recommands calculating:
- - - - - -- - EN-GJL-200: 80-200 N/mm²
- - - - - - .- EN-GJL-250: 160-250 N/mm²

Above is recommanded on background of technological test, and refers to a thickness
of 155 mm. and a modulus < 2.25, to be read in DS/EN 1561 2004 standards.

Bolts in iron keels: - - - WARNING!
ØRKILD
under no circumstances accepts to pour bolts into an iron keel, because mechanical properties of bolt material, as to our experience, are dramatically reduced during the process.
