Regarding the surface quality of pressure vessels

2009-04-08View Original

Thread Content

The company’s container products are often heavily criticized by clients for their surface quality, which has left the management very annoyed. Due to the small volume of the company’s products and the fact that most of the processing is done by external parties, the scale of these partner factories is relatively small; as a result, surface quality cannot be ensured to an adequate level in accordance with relevant standards and technical requirements. The management ordered our technical staff to develop guidelines for determining the quality grade of a product’s appearance. These guidelines involve classifying the appearance quality of products into three grades – A, B, and C – based on factors such as the project and the client. I think this is unreasonable; it’s the same products from the same company, yet different requirements are applied. Well, since it’s the management’s order, we have no choice but to comply. . . ) Grade C means meeting the specifications and the basic requirements of the owner; there’s nothing much to say about that. As for Grades B and A, it’s harder to determine – what standard is required to be considered Grade A or Grade B? It depends on factors such as weld quality, rust removal, and paint quality. . . I really don’t know how to write it. I was wondering if any of the more experienced colleagues or peers have any good suggestions or materials. I would be very grateful if you could share your knowledge. Thank you! ! ! !

Your question is a bit difficult. Is the complexity of the processing different? It’s just a matter of grinding and rust removal; there’s probably no need to divide it into so many categories

The surface quality you mentioned should refer to appearance issues; the most important aspect of equipment is its quality, so it’s necessary to strengthen the standards for the manufacturing process.

The surface quality of container products mainly depends on the quality of rust removal and painting. The poster can refer to the requirements specified in the automotive industry standard QC/T484-1999 \"Automotive Paint Coatings\", which establishes grades for the quality of the surface paint. It also lists the properties of the coating as well as its key technical specifications. There’s little doubt regarding the quality of paint used in automobiles, but the cost of producing such products increases as well. For reference only; if the poster needs this standard, they can contact me. This post was last edited by sejny on 2009-4-9 at 17:09.]

In addition to rust removal and painting, the surface quality of the container also includes the straightness of the cylinder body, the perpendicularity of the connections, and the quality of all weld joints

First of all, I would like to thank everyone! ! As mentioned on the 3rd floor, quality is what truly matters for a product. However, given our company’s current situation, often the quality is acceptable, but the appearance isn’t very appealing. . That’s why the leader made this decision

The standard QCT484-1999 for automotive paint coatings has been sent to your email; please check it

The quality of pressure vessels consists mainly of internal quality and external quality. The internal quality is not visible to the naked eye, and it requires radiographic inspection; this inspection is divided into 3 grades, with grades up to 3 considered acceptable; External quality refers to those that can be seen with the naked eye, such as weld height, undercut, surface irregularities, straightness, and misalignment; please refer to GB150 and the welding manual.
