Why does the size and rotation of the column base plate affect the size of an isolation pocket? AndWhat if my base plate is not square?

At interior pocket cases where base plates are square and concentric around the columns centroid and not an edge situation, a simple formula applies. The formula for sizing (plan dimensions) isolation pockets enclosing rectangular base plates is 2EC+BPD, where EC = Edge Clearance and where BPD = Base Plate Diagonal (dimension). Since this formula works for all rectangular plate interior situations it is applicable to the majority of applications, however; for perimeter block outs much more is sometimes necessary. There are several factors that govern the proper sizing of perimeter block outs. Keep in mind that quite often perimeter base plates are eccentrically positioned relative to the corners of a perimeter column isolation pocket. Since we manufacture a wide variety of POCKET FORM ISOLATOR choices for consideration it is often best to email or fax a detail for us to consider so we can recommend your best option.
