Guidelines | Description |
1. Chemical composition | Galvanic zinc plating allows for covering steel structures with a silicon (Si) content of less than 0.03 % or in the range of 0.15% – 0.25 % with an anti-corrosion layer of zinc. |
2. Surface condition | The surface of the structure should be free from scale, thick layers of rust, welding spatter, welding slag, silicone anti-spatter agents, paint contamination, grease and oil. |
3. Construction features | Suspension line: The structures should be able to be suspended using suspension hooks under the beam. The shape of the structure should allow for the free flow of process fluids into all spaces and their free flow out. |
4. Dimensions of the structure | Suspension line: The structure's dimensions must be less than or equal to the dimensions shown – 2.8 x 0.8 x 1.8 m (length x width x depth). If two dimensions are close to the limit, prior consultation is required. Maximum load weight is 600 kg per beam, and maximum load size is 1200 dm² per beam. Drum line: Minimum load 20kg per drum |
5. Vent holes | Structures made of closed-section elements should have vent holes to allow the free inflow of process baths during immersion and their free outflow during the structure's emergence at various stages of the process. The table below lists the size and number of vent holes in structural elements.
Ventilation holes can be made as triangular or semicircular cutouts in the profile walls. The drawings below illustrate the principles of placing vent holes. ![]() ![]() |
