What should thunderstorm weighbridge users pay attention to
With the advent of summer, thunderstorms are gradually increasing, weighbridge, as a commonly used metering equipment for enterprises, what matters need to be paid attention to in thunderstorms? This article will introduce it to you in detail.
First, the lightning protection measures of the weighbridge.
1.Grounding protection.
The grounding protection of the weighbridge is very important, which can effectively avoid the impact of lightning strikes on the weighbridge. Enterprises should regularly check whether the grounding wire of the weighbridge is in good condition, and repair it in time if it is damaged. At the same time, the grounding resistance should comply with the relevant regulations to ensure the safety of the weighbridge in thunderstorms.
2.Surge protection installation.
Lightning protection is an effective lightning protection device that can effectively introduce lightning into the ground and avoid damage to the weighbridge. Enterprises should install lightning protection next to the weighbridge and make sure that the grounding wire of the lightning protector is separated from the grounding wire of the weighbridge to avoid interfering with each other.
3.Power protection.
The power cord of the weighbridge is susceptible to lightning, so businesses should take power protection measures. Equipment such as power surge arresters can be used to channel lightning into the ground and avoid damage to the weighbridge.
Second, the daily maintenance of the weighbridge.
1.Regular check-ups.
Enterprises should regularly inspect the weighbridge, including the surface, sensors, wiring and other parts of the weighbridge. If any damage or abnormality is found, it should be repaired or replaced in time.
2.Keep dry.
The weighbridge is a high-precision metering equipment, and its use environment should be kept dry. In thunderstorms, enterprises should pay special attention to the waterproofing of the weighbridge to avoid the weighbridge being affected by moisture. At the same time, the water stains on the surface of the weighbridge should be cleaned up in time after the rain to keep the weighbridge dry.
3.Avoid overloading.
The use of overloaded weighbridges will cause great damage to them, and enterprises should use them in strict accordance with the rated load of the weighbridge to avoid the occurrence of overloading.
4.Calibrate regularly.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the weighbridge, enterprises should calibrate regularly. The calibration interval is generally one or two years, depending on the use of the weighbridge and related regulations. The calibration should be carried out on a stable plane to avoid the influence of external factors on the calibration results.
5.Records & Reports.
Enterprises should establish a sound record of the use and maintenance of the weighbridge, and record the operation and maintenance history of the weighbridge in a timely manner. For abnormal or faulty weighbridges, they should be reported to the relevant departments in time for processing, and the corresponding repair and maintenance work should be done.
3. Personnel safety awareness training.
1.Training and education.
Enterprises should train and educate weighbridge operators to understand the basic principles, operating procedures and precautions of weighbridges. At the same time, strengthen the safety awareness training of employees and improve the attention of employees to the safety of weighbridges.
2.Safety Operating Procedures.
Formulate perfect safety operation procedures for weighbridges, and require operators to operate in strict accordance with the regulations to avoid safety accidents caused by improper operation. At the same time, warning signs are set around the weighbridge to remind operators to pay attention to safety.
3.Strengthen inspections.
Enterprises should strengthen the inspection of weighbridges to find and deal with potential safety hazards in a timely manner. In thunderstorms, special attention should be paid to whether the lightning protection measures and grounding protection of the weighbridge are intact and effective.
To sum up, users of weighbridges in thunderstorms should pay attention to lightning protection measures, daily maintenance and personnel safety awareness training. Only by fully understanding and mastering these precautions can we ensure the safe operation of the weighbridge in thunderstorms and provide guarantee for the normal production and operation of the enterprise.
