3 Quality assurance measures for space frame production

During the on-site production process, based on the current 1S09001 quality assurance system, a quality responsibility system is formulated for the production and inspection personnel of each process, and inspections are carried out in strict accordance with the regulations. Each process has workshop inspectors first inspection, patrol inspection, and complete inspection. After the processing is completed, the warehouse is randomly inspected, and those found to be unqualified are returned to the workshop for rework. After the inspection of each process is completed, the inspector will affix the “Parts Qualification Certificate” before it can be transferred to the next process. Strictly carry out inspections in accordance with regulations, especially for raw materials, high-strength bolts, welding electrodes, etc., to carry out strict process evaluation, determination, and mechanical performance testing. The first inspection and regular random inspection are carried out on the profiled steel plate and purlin production line to ensure that the geometric size and appearance quality meet the requirements. To control the quality of the samples, it is required to be responsible for the samples, proofreading, and approval. The use of raw materials should meet user and specification requirements. Except for the raw materials specified by the owner, the rest are purchased from qualified contractors. The materials arriving at the factory are strictly checked for quality assurance data and inspection reports in accordance with the procedures. The production in the factory is strictly managed, and the quality must meet the requirements of internal control standards or special precision requirements specified by users. All gear is fully inspected and measured. The processing accuracy of the relevant machine tools and clamping molds are evaluated for their technological capabilities to ensure that they meet the accuracy requirements. Inspectors and personnel are strictly checked, and the craftsmen are diligently instructed and supervised in the early stage of processing. Welding flaw detection test and joint tensile strength test shall be carried out in strict accordance with regulations. Plan the material numbering, packaging and stacking of steel space frames to ensure accurate numbering and packaging.

4 Quality control measures for space frame installation

After the civil engineering embedded parts, working platform, safety measures, and lifting conditions all meet the requirements, the space frame installation will be carried out. The space frame installation is carried out from one side to the other. During the installation process, ensure that the parts are stacked in a reasonable place, not damaged or lost, the surface of the embedded board is clean, the axis, elevation, and geometric dimensions are accurate, the vertical and horizontal length deviation is not more than ± 30mm, and the center offset of the embedded parts is not more than 30mm. , the offset of the surrounding adjacent embedded parts is not more than 15mm, and the maximum height difference of the surrounding embedded parts is not more than 30mm. Requirements for the installation of the space frame: the bolts should be tightened in place, and no visible gaps are allowed on the contact surface of the sleeve. The members are not allowed to have more than the specified bending. The surface of the installed space frame parts should be clean, and complete, without damage, without dents, and without wrong installation. If the wrong installation is found, replace it in time. Paint thickness and quality must meet design specifications. The center offset of the space frame node is not more than 1.5mm, and the length error of the single-cone space frame is not more than ±1.5mm. After the overall installation of the space frame, the vertical and horizontal length deviation shall not be greater than L/2000 and not greater than 30mm, and the center offset of the support shall not be greater than L/3000 and not greater than 30mm. The height difference between adjacent supports is not more than 15mm, and the height difference between the highest and lowest supports is not more than 30mm. The no-load deflection is controlled within L/800. The painting is carried out immediately following the installation of the space frame and purlins. Painters are equipped with viscometers, thermo-hygrometers, and thickness gauges. Epoxy zinc-rich paint is manually brushed, without leakage, and the thickness is not less than 50m. The fireproof coating is fully stirred and the fireproof time is not less than 1.5 hours. The installation of purlins and the roofing system should be closely coordinated with the installation of the space frame. Roofing materials and components arrive at the site in batches according to the planned order and are gradually installed. Before the purlin is installed, measure and level the purlin fulcrum, making sure that the lower one is properly cushioned, and the height difference between the purlins is strictly controlled within the range of soil 5mm. The roof panel is installed to ensure that the roof panel is flat, the two purlins at the overlap in the width direction are fixed with aluminum rivets, and the spacing between the aluminum rivets is 300mm.
