Equipment nameplate: After the equipment is shipped, the black nameplate on it starts to peel off. What’s causing this?
The quality isn’t good, right? Stainless steel is generally used
It’s probably due to painting; if the requirements and specifications for production are specified during the equipment bidding process, problems like this won’t occur
Quality issues with nameplates are quite normal. . .
Export the equipment and fabricate nameplates according to the drawings: including material, dimensions, and details. It was a nameplate from 2015 that was used for adhesion tests, and there was no issue of peeling or detachment.
The nameplate is for use in the Middle East; is there anything similar?
Equipment nameplates are generally made of stainless steel or aluminum; in some cases, the nameplate is painted or covered with a film; Is the peeling and flaking due to the paint coming off or the film? Nameplates generally cannot be exposed to high temperatures; at such high temperatures, the topcoat or film on them may peel off
The 8D report is shown to the customer. The main contents are as follows: 1 Re-review of manufacturing quality: 1.1 Inspection and analysis: TT currently has labels from 2015 left; they are in good condition. Moreover, the adhesion test conducted yesterday also showed good quality results. 1.2 Conclusion: It is peeling of the nameplate, not a manufacturing issue. The true cause of the risk requires further analysis by the relevant parties; see FMEA. 2 FMEA of factors related to label peeling: Based on the current location of the label, the following risks are analyzed: 2.1 Does the temperature exceed 93 degrees? (This includes the designed cooling capacity, as well as whether there was any misoperation on site – failure to activate WC leading to overheating). 2.2 Salt spray corrosion? And other reasons. 3 Improvement methods--Low-risk nameplate design: 3.1 Choose another nameplate design that uses less paint, thereby reducing the risk of peeling in those areas ; 3.2 Moving the nameplate from the HEATER to the column has two advantages: it prevents peeling caused by saltwater accumulation, and it avoids the impact of overheating of the heat exchanger. (From the diagram, it should be PLAN53B; this is a complete possibility.)
