Issue regarding the mismatch between the tag number and the actual weight of the equipment on site

2010-07-14View Original

Thread Content

I wonder if anyone has encountered such a problem during construction: the manufacturer provides one value for the weight of the equipment, the drawings provide another value, and there is also a value indicated on the equipment’s location label. But sometimes these three values do not match. In such cases, which one should be taken as the correct value? Is a report submitted to the owner for design changes in case of discrepancies?

Refer to the equipment nameplate: victory:

Reply to 2# zjken: During the construction work here, I found that some manufacturers attached the nameplates incorrectly, which caused problems with welding and other processing steps. What is usually done in such situations?

Fainting? The design drawings are prepared based on the equipment specifications you provided; how could they possibly differ from those specifications or device identifiers? Just have the design institute make the changes for free; let the equipment manufacturer replace the nameplate (is it a fake manufacturer?) ), it will be difficult to obtain compensation; depends on whether the payment has been made If you don’t pay, you can order more.

This problem is quite common, especially in devices such as heat exchangers where water tends to remain after pressure testing. It is immediately noticed when unloading with a crane; basically, when there is not much difference between the drawings and the information on the nameplate, the nameplate should be taken as the reference.

What’s the big deal? Here, the weight of the oil tanks designed is several dozen tons different from the weight of the actual steel plates used. . . . . . . Is it possible that the density of the iron plates used is different? ?

Reply to 6# wota*aozi: The weight indicated on the design drawings is a theoretical value; the actual amount used also takes into account losses during construction, so there is naturally a difference.:)

Discuss it with the property owner first, and then make a decision; it’s best to have the person in charge sign off before starting the construction

I think the issue must be clarified. If I were you, I would first ask the manufacturer. This involves on-site lifting, so it needs to be handled with care. There are no trivial tasks at work, gaga gaga
