Assembly Types 0, 1, 2, and 3 - Estimated Grid Spacer Dimensions

Assembly Types 0, 1, 2, and 3
Schematic of the Grid Spacer
Estimates of the Grid Spacer Dimensions
Assumptions:
1. Strip thickness of 0.3 mm;
2. Homogeneous arrangement.
Dimensions used as reference values:
1. Outside rod diameter of 12.3 mm;
2. Outside water rod diameter of 15.0 mm;
3. Rod pitch of 16.2 mm;
4. Grid spacer total width of 132 mm.
Technique used:
1. Simple measuring/scaling technique by applying two different scale ratios (vertical and horizontal)
to the side view drawings (as provided by JNES).
2. Adjustments to the above-mentioned reference values to match all dimensions.
Comment:
Errors are possible because the graphics made available might have been deformed through
different copying processes.
