Introduction
Flexible mechanical interface grey mouth cast iron pipes are among the most popular pipe configurations used in modern applications. It is with this in mind that the Chinese industrial standard (GB/T6483-1986) was created to ensure quality assurance and improved operational performance. This article provides an overview of the standard and its importance in ensuring the production of high-quality cast iron pipes with flexible mechanical interfaces.
Overview
The Chinese industrial standard GB/T6483-1986 is used to ensure the production of high-quality cast iron pipes with flexible mechanical interface. The standard covers both the physical characteristics of the product and the required production process to meet the desired performance. This standard also outlines the requirements for composite grey mouth cast iron pipe fittings.
The physical characteristics of the pipes detailed in this standard include their material composition, size, shape, surface condition, tensile strength, elongation, hardness, dimensional tolerances, roughness, and wall thickness. GB/T6483-1986 also details the production process for the manufacture of these pipes, including the heat treating process, welding, segregation of the surfaces, and inspection and testing of the finished series.
Relevance
The relevance of this standard to both end users and manufactures is its ability to provide a consistent quality product. As the standard is specific to the production process, the welds and seals will always meet the quality requirements and provide reliability. Furthermore, the product will always have the correct dimension tolerance, wall thickness, and surface condition.
The importance of this standard for manufacturers is that it ensures customer quality and products that meet the expectations of the market. With strict adherence to the standard, manufacturers can be sure of producing better quality grey mouth pipes that have been tested and certified for their intended purpose.
Conclusion
GB/T6483-1986 is the Chinese industrial standard for flexible mechanical interface grey mouth cast iron pipes. This standard is a comprehensive guide to the physical characteristics of the product and the production process required to ensure product quality. Its relevance to customers and manufacturers is the assurance that the produced cast iron pipes will always meet the necessary standards, thus ensuring that customers provided with a reliable and consistent product.
