TowerTalkians --
My question for y'all (I'm from South Snohomish County) has to do with
the relative yield strength of a 3 inch mast versus a 2 inch mast. Let's
assume that they are the same material (4130 - 75,000 psi yield) and the same
wall thickness (0.250"). How much more load will the 3 inch take over the 2
inch at the same windspeed? I'm not looking for a paper on this, I just want
an idea of the relative approximate difference. Is it 20% more, 30% or what?
Thanks!
73, Steve K7LXC
