3b. NOMO® Kalkulator in Norwegian, NOMO® Calculator, found on this webpage following this link https://nomo.no/nomokalkulator/ – a computer program to calculate the amount and generate an installation pattern on a square or rectangular roof surface | Copyright © Caneias 2005-2024

  • Roof material producer
  • Roof material (i.e. roof slate or roof tile model)
  • Roof shape
  • Roof length
  • Distance from eave to ridge
  • Roof pitch angle
  • Snow load where the building is located as a function of the height above sea level

3c. NOMO® BETA mounting pattern – on clay and concrete roof tiles

50% of the calculated numbers of the NOMO® Beta snow stoppers are be mounted on each roof tile from the eave on the roof surface.The remaining 50% is evenly distributed over the rest of the roof surface, but not on the two top rows. | copyright © caneias®

3d. NOMO® ALPHA NG / NOMO® ZETA mounting pattern – on clay and concrete roof tiles

50% of the calculated NOMO® Alpha and NOMO® Zeta snow stoppers are mounted on every second roof tile from the eave and upwards on the roof surface, ref. NOMO® Calculator©The remaining 50% of NOMO® Alpha NG or NOMO® Zeta are mounted in a diagonal pattern on the roof surface©, from left to right©, ref. NOMO® Calculator©. Alternatively mounted in a diagonal pattern on the roof surface from right to left©, ref. NOMO® Calculator©The horizontal distance between each snow stopper can vary from row 3 as an example and can be a maximum of x roof tiles and minimum equal to zero © i.e. a NOMO® snow stopper on each roof tile, ref. NOMO® Calculator/Kalkulator © copyright © caneias®.

3e. Combination of mounting patterns

Based on the basic system / rule, there are numerous combinations of mounting patterns which can be generated, ref. NOMO® Calculator© as: DC3SNMP™© (Dynamic Calculation Snow Stopper System NOMO® Mounting Pattern™©). copyright © caneias® Furthermore DC3SNMP™© is a function (1) of: Roof Avalanche Distribution Factor™© – RADF™©, ref. NOMO® Calculator/Kalkulator© copyright © caneias®

RADF™ describes the distribution factor of absorption of avalanche forces in a defined roof surface (Roof Avalanche Distribution Factor), RADF™ = (n NOMO® x FP™) / number of roof tiles. FP™ = (FootPrint™) per NOMO®. n NOMO® = the number of NOMO® for a defined roof surface. copyright © caneias®. Furthermore the NOMO® Calculator™© meet requirements (2) in the definition:

Foot Print™© – FP™©, ref. NOMO® Calculator/Kalkulator©FP™ (FootPrint™) describes the total number of NOMO® that is calculated for a defined roof surface multiplied with FP™ of one individual NOMO® = n NOMO® x FP™.FP™ = (FootPrint™) per NOMO®. n NOMO® = the number of NOMO® for a defined roof surface. Copyright © Caneias. Furthermore the NOMO® Calculator™ meets requirements (3) in the definition:Total Perpendicular Metal Surface™© – TPMS™©, ref. NOMO® Calculator/Kalkulator©.

TPMS™ = Total Perpendicular Metal Surface™. Defines the cross section of the wire along the entire length perpendicular against the snow for each NOMO® n NOMO® = the number of NOMO® for a defined roof surface. Copyright © Caneias. Furthermore the NOMO® Calculator™ meets requirements (4) in the definition: Contact Cut Surface Length™© -CCSL™©, ref. NOMO® Calculator©: CCSL™© = The length of the outer and inner surface of one NOMO® snow stopper e.g. steel wire where the snow has to create a fracture and slide / avalanche past a NOMO® snow stopper. Sum CCSL™ = (n NOMO® x CCSL™) for a defined roof surface. n NOMO® = the number of NOMO® for a defined roof surface. copyright © caneias®
