Welded joints
30 Welded joints:
- butt welding or double- Suitable
sided welding, or single-
sided welding with backing
run;
- overlapping loopback Suitable
connections continuous
along the perimeter,
without gaps;
-point or non-continuous Unsuitable
welding;
-pores, blowholes, cracks, Unsuitable Deseaming is required, sand
slag inclusions, filler blasting is recommended
coupling of weld joins, Suitable, but not High silicon content causes
splatters; recommended visible difference of weld joint
-manual welding using from other surface
high silicon electrodes
Special cases
31 Products requiring Suitable, but test In case of thin-walled articles
preliminary degalvanizing galvanizing is thickness can be reduced to
recommended undesirable tolerances.
Products can have worse
appearance than the ones non
subject to degalvanizing, and
this should be approved with
the customer.
Relationship between pipe size and number of holes in plugs at their ends
Diameters of fabrication holes should not be less than 10 mm. Actual sizes shall be selected from
experience, namely, fabrication hole area of long-profile structures should be minimum1/7
1/10 of sectional area of profile included in the structure. The more the size of fabrication holes
is, the smoother galvanizing proceeds and the higher is the coating quality.
Large-sized parts should have fabrication holes of 15-25 mm diameter at 50 mm distance from
the article end (parts longer than 2 m should have holes at two sides).
