Flat Suburbia Region C Adjacent to sea front 8 1 5 Satellite Dish Wind Loads The force of the wind on a satellite dish is related to the wind speed V the area of the reflector A in the direction of the wind and the drag coefficient of the reflector shape The horizontal force at the dish mounting bracket is given the formula F Ca x A x 0 6 x V 1000 Drag coefficients for various wind directions and dish sizes and shapes have been measured in wind tunnels In the case of domestic satellite dishes wind direction and dish elevation which affects the projected area of the reflector can not be practically determined for every installation so worst case values are used However the wind speed V is a critical factor since the wind force is related to the square of the wind speed The procedure for determining the design wind speed and hence the wind force for any location in Australia has been laid out in detail in the Australian Standard SAA Loading Code Part 2 Wind loads The design wind speed is determined by taking into account the following factors The regional wind speed This value is based on recordings over long period of time at locations throughout Australia It is chosen so that there is only a 596 probability of the wind speed exceeded within a fifty year period Australia has been divided into wind speed regions A B C and D as shown in the chart The height of the structure above the grou
