(A)Raw material stamping:

(1)Visual Check: (a) Check for lamination, pitting in the material (b)Check if the raw material offered is as per drwg requirement or not. if not mention why?(for example: unavailability in the market) (2)dimension check (a)Platethickness. (b)Tube/pipe o/dissection dimensions for rectangular tubes and thickness (c)Round bar diameter (d)Chanel total width, flange width, thickness (e)I section total section height, flange width, web thickness (f)Angel leg lengths , thickness (3)Mill TC: (a)Take down the heat no, cast no, coil no from the MTC of plate and try to correlate with the cast/heat no on the plate or the coil no of the lot for sheet (b)For channel, angel, joist seek for marks of manufacturer(SAlL/JINDAL). (c) If correlation is not found specimens should be sent for lab test in a NABL Approved Lab. Hence stamping is required. (4)stamping: (a)For plates punch 3-4 stamps on 300*150mm area with hard stamp for test specimen. Stamp on the mother plate as well for traceability

(b)for round bar punch 3-4 stamps over 300mm length. No of stamps = no of pieces
required (for traceability purpose).Mark each individual bar with number stamp as well.

(c)for joist,chanel,angel stamp a length of 300 mm with 3-4 stamps and stamp the main material as well for traceability

Where to stamp

(B)Painting:
(1)Visual Check: (*)Ask for previous inspection report in black condition, Internal inspection report of the supplier. (a)There should not be any loose mill scale, foreign particles on the surface before painting, Blasted surface should be painted within 3 hrs otherwise it will start catching red colour and hence it has to be reblasted. (b)Check Stripe coat given or not. stripe coat is a primary coat of paint given by brush over the corners, edges and places which are difficult to reach (c)Check for any painting defects like run, crack on paint, scaling, (d) Check identification marking is done or not (e)all the lifting lugs should be painted by yellow colour (f)Finally check whether the finish of paint is visually satisfactory or not. (2)BTC: (a)Follow the painting spec and see what paint is used .ask for BTC of that paint and corelate the Batch no with the No. on container of paint. (b)Check what thinner is used. Is the used paint and thinner are of same manufacturer??? (3)Measurement: (a)Measure DFT of paint when fully cured. Compare with painting spec. check for low DFT(lower than the required DFT) as well as over DFT(more than 150 micro m) (b)Surface profile can also be measured by means of profile gauge. Check for surface

preparation. (c)Calibration of measuring coat-meter

Example: where to measure DFT

Example: Stripe coats where to give

(C)MULTIPEAK ELECTRODE:
(1)Visual Check: (a)There should not be any rust on the tube surface as well as on the peak as it would lead to improper fusion during spot welding (b) Tube surface should be properly cleaned before welding, any presence of foreign materials on the tube surface would create an explosive sound (c)Check the alignment of the peaks. Max. allowance 2-3 degree. (d) check for bent peaks. (e) check for improperly welded peaks

CHECK LIST

Example: improperly welded peaks (f) Check for Burrs on the peaks and punched ends of the electrode (g)Twisting test should be done on regular interval with a wrench which will twist one peak at 90 degree . Twisting shall be done at a distance of 6mm from the tube surface. breakage of the material is Permissible but the welded joint should remain intact

Example: twisting test done on a peak (h)when crated check if the peaks are clashing with each other or with the crate (i)check if the crating is done as per approved drwg or not (2)Dimension check (a) hole to hole distance. (b)peak to peak pitch. (c)overall length. (d)Total length of the peaks on both side. (e)distance of the peaks from the edges. (f)Check if the deviation of dimensions measured are within the given drwg tolerance.

CHECK LIST
(D)GRATING:
(1)VISUAL CHECKING: (a)Check the direction of span is as per drawing or not .Directional span is perpendicular direction (on the grating plane) w.r.t the load bearing member. (b)Check all welding are done according to the drwg. or not. For example: (i)rod to plate all round welding (ii)Plate to plate tack on head and tack on two opposite sides within gratings. (c)All corners are dressed by grinding or not. (d)Spatters and slags are removed properly or not.

DIRECTION OF SPAN (2)DIMENSIONAL CHECKING: (a)Check for overall length and width .A minor ve deviation of overall dimension is allowed but +ve deviation is not at all acceptable. (b)Check pocket sizes and pocket positions. (c)Check span size.

(E)CABLE TRAY:
(1)VISUAL CHECKING: (a)Check for burrs around the holes as well as edges of the tray. There should be no burrs around the holes/slots. (b)Check the slot orientations and their position. (c)If galvanizing is required check for galvanising quality visually. (d) Welding Quality for Ladder Type Cable Tray. (2)DIMENSIONAL CHECKING: (a) Measure the tray length, width, thickness of sheet used. (b) Measure the relative position of holes and hole sizes. (c)For Coupler plate measure thickness, position of slots, holes. Assemble of two cable trays with coupler plate, bolts, nuts washer. (d)Ask for galvanization certificate with mentioned deposition, purity, coat thickness of Zinc. In the TC, it will be mentioned what specification has been followed for galvanizing

process and different tests. Thickness of GALV coating and mass of deposition of Zinc should be as per IS 4759 (e) Deflection test for checking rigidity for Cable Tray (more than 300 mm W, ladder type, with distributed load of 75 Kg/m). An acceptance criterion for deflection test is 1/100(max) of the length of the intermediate span.

(F)THERMAL INSULATION (BONDED MINERAL WOOL)
(a)Thickness should be measured and checked as per column 7 of IS: 3144.For nominal thickness in the range of 25 to 75 mm the tolerance shall be -2 mm. Positive deviation in thickness for this range is permitted. However tolerance for nominal thickness outside this range shall be decided as per QCP/QAP. The Thickness measuring instrument
