Problems with the spring bracket baffle
Thread Content
What is the function of the baffle inside the box in the diagram? Does it need to be removed when in use? The original positioning block is located above the spring top plate.
This seems to be intended to limit the radial movement of the spring, preventing it from tipping over
It’s a limit block; it’s used during hydraulic testing before operation, and should be removed once the system is put into use
It should be removed; otherwise it won’t work
This is a limit block; one is provided at the top and one at the bottom upon leaving the factory. After installation, remove the stop block before loading the pipe, and the spring will move up and down depending on the load. You didn’t remove the lower limit block, so the pipe doesn’t have elastic support when under load.
This is the state before it was unpacked. Upper and lower limit blocks are both available.
In 2019, there was a funny incident: the spring pin was forgotten to be removed. When the reactor temperature rose, the pipeline moved, but the spring didn’t keep up. Fortunately, the pipe fittings were strong enough, so there were no leaks or other dangerous situations. Looking back on it now, it’s funny yet a bit scary at the same time.
It must be removed when in use; otherwise, the spring cannot move up and down.
It should be used to control the rotation of the adjustment bolt.
Common hazard: Limit block not removed :)
