Pressure vessel nameplate

This is really rare, a stainless steel nameplate? What kind of environment causes such severe corrosion?

The words on a nameplate, if not engraved, will fade over time. You can apply a film to the sign, or coat it with a layer of varnish to slow down the process. If you need a new nameplate, please contact the container manufacturer

Does the equipment manufacturer have any foundation? Buy the static equipment and ask them to provide an electronic version of the nameplate

The handover documents contain rubbings of the nameplate, and another copy can be made based on those rubbings. Previously, nameplates were mostly made of aluminum, but now they are all made of stainless steel; this problem no longer exists, unless it’s some low-pressure containers!

Plaque corrosion is very common; many manufacturers still choose materials such as aluminum sheet for plaques in environments prone to corrosion. It is possible to preserve the nameplate completely and prevent corrosion; applying a thick layer of butter to its outer surface and then covering it with plastic wrap can provide good protection against corrosion. Whether the nameplate is intact is one of the things that equipment managers check regularly, as losing or having the nameplate corroded constitutes negligence. In many factories, due to unclear or frequently changing equipment managers, not only are nameplates lost, but many other items as well; it’s common for proper oversight to be lacking. For those without a nameplate, it is possible to get one added from the manufacturer, though the manufacturer will need to verify the equipment first. Some manufacturers follow excellent practices by stamping the serial number on the nameplate holder, allowing for identification of the equipment even if the nameplate is lost. Equipment in Taiwan uses an even better approach: the serial number and other relevant information are stamped on the side of the flange, which neither affects the performance of the equipment nor poses a risk of the nameplate being lost, while also making identification easier. In many cases in the domestic market, manufacturers deliberately fail to install nameplates or stamp them; when such nameplates are lost, it becomes impossible to find any traceable markers, and identification can only be done by checking the dimensions of the pipe fittings and the equipment. In fact, it is common for nameplates to be installed improperly.

Give the manufacturer the copy from your documents to complete it

1. For nameplates of the same specifications, the cost is around 15 for aluminum ones and 50 for stainless steel ones; when large quantities are involved, cost issues become apparent, and this relates to the manufacturers. 2. If there is no machine, use a hammer to tap on each letter head one by one; stainless steel plates are simply a nightmare from the perspective of factory operators. 3. Furthermore, the supervision and inspection stamp cannot be applied casually in theory; this is related to oversight matters. 4. Finally, some manufacturers remove the labels after installation and store them for archives; it is unclear whether this is legal and reasonable.

It is not allowed to remove it for archiving. I really like the steel stamping on the side of the Franca model in Taiwan; it seems to be done by machine. It’s much more difficult to do that there than elsewhere, but they still manage to do it.

You can find a manufacturer to make one, but it’s difficult to add a TS mark

For now, only the photocopy included in the warranty certificate can be sealed in plastic and attached to the equipment
