Stainless steel BA tubes (Bright Annealed Tube) are widely used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and other fields due to their corrosion resistance, high cleanliness and good mechanical properties. However, in the transportation and storage of stainless steel BA tubes, how to correctly load and fix to ensure that their quality is not damaged is a crucial link.
1. Preparation before loading
1. Choose suitable packaging materials
First, suitable packaging materials must be selected to protect stainless steel BA tubes. These materials should have waterproof, moisture-proof and dust-proof properties, such as polyethylene film, foam board, etc. For longer tubes, you should also consider using protective sleeves or corner guards to prevent damage to the edges and corners.
2. Check the transport vehicle
Before loading, the transport vehicle should be fully inspected to ensure that its structure is intact and undamaged, and its load-bearing capacity meets the weight requirements of stainless steel BA tubes. At the same time, check the cleanliness of the inside of the transport vehicle to avoid contamination of the pipe by impurities.
2. Correct loading method
1. Stable placement
When loading, the stainless steel BA pipe should be placed stably on the transport vehicle or shelf to avoid excessive impact and vibration. For longer pipes, multi-point support should be adopted to ensure that it will not overturn due to unstable center of gravity during transportation.
2. Layered stacking
If multiple layers of pipes need to be stacked, ensure that each layer is separated by appropriate pads or pallets to reduce friction and collision between pipes. At the same time, the stacking height should be controlled within a reasonable range to avoid excessive stacking that causes the lower layer of pipes to be compressed and deformed.
3. Marking and recording
After loading, the specifications, quantity, destination and other information of the stainless steel BA pipe should be clearly marked on the transport vehicle, and corresponding records should be made. This helps to track and manage during transportation and ensure the safety and integrity of the pipes.
3. Effective fixing strategy
1. Use fixing devices
To prevent the stainless steel BA pipe from moving and shaking during transportation, it should be firmly fixed in the transport vehicle or storage facility with straps, ropes or other fixing devices. When fixing, be careful not to tighten too much to avoid damaging the surface of the pipe, and not to loosen too much to avoid losing the fixing effect.
2. Consider vibration and impact
During the fixing process, the vibration and impact that may be encountered during transportation should be fully considered. Elastic pads or shock absorbers can be used to absorb these forces and reduce damage to the pipe.
3. Regular inspection and maintenance
During transportation, the status of the fixing device and the fixing of the pipe should be checked regularly. If the fixing device is found to be loose or the pipe is displaced, it should be adjusted and reinforced in time. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the transportation vehicle running smoothly and avoid violent operations such as sudden braking and sharp turns.
IV. Storage precautions
1. Keep dry and ventilated
When storing stainless steel BA pipes, a dry and ventilated environment should be selected to avoid moisture and corrosion. At the same time, regularly check the humidity and temperature of the storage environment to ensure that it meets the storage requirements of the pipe.
2. Avoid stacking too high
During storage, avoid stacking stainless steel BA pipes too high. Too high stacking will increase the risk of pressure on the lower layer of pipes, causing them to deform or damage.
3. Regular inspection and record keeping
Regularly inspect the stored stainless steel BA pipes and record their status and changes. If scratches, corrosion or other damage is found on the surface of the pipe, timely measures should be taken to handle and repair it.
