Electric water heater inspection

Electric water heater inspection

1. Visual inspection standards and inspection methods:

Surface grade

Class A surface: an external surface that can be viewed directly, such as the front and front sides of an electric water heater, hereinafter referred to as the A surface.

Class B surface: Inconspicuous external surfaces, such as the rear and rear surfaces of electric water heaters, hereinafter referred to as the B surface.

Class C surface; internal and external surfaces that are not easily visible, such as the floor surface of electric hot water, hereinafter referred to as the C surface.

Inspection environment

Luminosity: Normal light or 200-300LX (equivalent to a distance of 750mm for a 40W fluorescent lamp) The inspection surface of the product should be approximately 45 ° from the visual direction of the inspector.

The distance between the inspector’s visual direction and the surface of the product to be inspected is as follows:

A surface: 400MM B surface: 500MM C surface: 800MM

Degree of defect

Basic method for judging the degree of surface defects: under a standard inspection light source, the distance from the observation object is 400mm, and it should be at an angle of 45 degrees with the observation surface. Defects that are not visible at a glance are slight defects, visible at a glance, but not very obvious, are general defects. Visible and obvious defects are serious defects, and defects that are visible at a glance and seriously affect the appearance are fatal defects.

Defect sampling

Appearance is based on 1dm2. The 11.3cm circle selects the most defects.

Inspection methods and inspection standards

The A side should be smooth and flat with no obvious defects. No serious defects are allowed. No hand-painting is allowed to repair defects. Minor defects are allowed. No rough feeling or deformation can be felt by hand. The insignificant general defects have a diameter greater than 1mm is not allowed, less than 1mm is not allowed to exceed 10 points, and the concentration is not more than 3 / cm2. For non-orthographic planes, the standard can be appropriately relaxed. In the detection area, the diameter is less than 1mm. It is not allowed to exceed 15 points, and the concentration is not more than 3 / cm2.

The B surface should be smooth and smooth without obvious defects. No serious defects are allowed. Minor defects are allowed, and there is no rough feeling or severe deformation when touched by hand. Non-obvious general defects are not allowed in the detection area with a diameter greater than 1.2mm and less than 1.2. mm is not allowed to exceed 20 points, and the concentration is not to exceed 3 / cm2. For non-orthographic planes, the standard can be appropriately relaxed. In the detection area, the diameter is less than 1.2mm. It is not allowed to exceed 30 points, and the concentration is not more than 3 / cm2.

The C-plane allows the presence of general defects and serious defects that do not affect the appearance quality. The splicing gap is less than 1mm, which is acceptable. If it is more than 1mm but less than 1.5mm, it can be conceded according to the actual situation, and more than 1.5mm is unacceptable.

Signs, stickers, print inspections

2. Structural parameter inspection standards and inspection methods

Dimension inspection

The overall dimensions of the product and the dimensions of the packaging box need to meet the dimensions and tolerance requirements of the design drawings, and those without tolerances are implemented as free tolerances.

Inspection with external dimensions

The size of the external fit must meet the size and tolerance requirements of the design drawing, and the free tolerance is implemented if no tolerance is marked. The outer cymbal fittings should be free from obvious skew.

Content volume inspection

The light reflection perspective inspection of the surface of the slush layer should show a uniform milky white, and there should be no gray-black shadows of the perspective substrate color (indicating that the slush layer is too thin). The minimum thickness measured by the thickness gauge should be more than 1.5mm, otherwise it is unqualified.

The average density should meet the designed density requirement, and the lowest density sample density must meet the minimum density requirement. Otherwise it is disqualified. The normal density requirement is 32 ~ 38KG / M3.

Tightness test
