What are the differences between bolted ball grids and welded ball grids?

-

 There are a number of differences between bolted ball grids and welded ball grids in terms of fabrication, construction and design. The following are specific comparisons:

1. Manufacturing process: The manufacturing of bolted ball net frame is mainly carried out in the factory, using mechanical shot blasting to remove rust, and then spraying paint, plastic spraying or zinc spraying treatment to enhance corrosion resistance. 


The steel pipe and welded seam of welded ball mesh frame can only be descaled manually on site, and then paint or fireproof coating is brushed. For the welded part, it needs to be descaled and brushed at a stage to maintain, which increases the cost of later use and affects the safety of the structure.


2. Construction process: 70% of the workload of bolted ball grid frame is prefabricated in the factory, 30% of the workload is installed at the site, only a wrench is needed to tighten the bolts at the site, which is easy and fast, and can be constructed in 300-500 square meters per day. Welded ball mesh frame needs to be operated on site, including material according to the drawing, work release, angle calculation, positioning spot welding, ring welding, cleaning and testing of welded seams and other steps, construction of 80-150 square meters per day, the steel pipe is all butt-welded, the workload is larger, the construction period is slower.

 


3. Project cost: Although the amount of steel used in bolted ball mesh frame is slightly higher, but due to the factory production, only small tools are needed at the construction site, and scaffolding platform is not needed, which can be assembled and greatly save the cost. Welded ball mesh frame itself is lower material costs, but the site construction volume is larger, more welding equipment, higher electricity costs, more welders, scaffolding construction platform occupies a long time, the overall lifting costs, so the project cost is higher than expected.

 

4. Spatial effect: The bolt ball is a solid ball, with specifications of Φ80~Φ400, evenly matched with the pipe fittings, harmonized in proportion, reflecting the bright, lively, elegant and modern style. Welded ball is a hollow ball node, i.e., the ball diameter is very large, specifications for Φ160 ~ Φ900, the spatial level of the ball is large and thin, the proportion is out of proportion, it looks bulky, rigid, depressing.

 

In general, bolt ball net frame and welded ball net frame are different in manufacturing, construction and design. Bolted ball net frame has high degree of factory production, easy construction, cost saving and good space effect. Welded ball mesh frame is mainly made on site, the construction personnel welding technology has high requirements, construction period is long and high cost, generally mainly applied to large span and large load with special requirements of the structure.

What Are The Architectural Features Of The Space Frame Fabrication? Buildings processed by space frame   are a good form of construction, because the materials used are mainly metal, which have better toughness than other materials. This will not only help enhance the load-bearing capacity of the building itself, but also shorten the construction period. To reduce the difficulty of construction, let's talk about the characteristics of space frame   production   buildings： space frame 1. The   components of space   frame has good mechanical properties, and its stiffness and overall stability are better than those of general planar structures. 2. The space frame   structure has certain regularity and is convenient for construction. There are a   large number of same form components and nodes in the space frame   structure, which brings convenience to factory production and structural installation, ensu res   the quality of the project, acceler...

The development status of the space frame structure space frame   structure has been developed greatly in the last 30 years, and has been widely used inside and outside. space frame   structure plan arrangement is flexible, space shape is beautiful, convenient for building shape processing and decoration, decoration, can adapt to different span, different plane shape, different support conditions, different functional needs of the building.   Especially in the roof structure of large and medium span, the space frame   structure shows its superiority and is used in large number of large sports buildings, public buildings, industrial buildings, and also widely used in the roof of some small buildings, such as gas stations, toll stations, large canopies. In recent years, with the wide application of electronic computers and the development of computing technology, the design efficiency of the space   frame structure has been greatly improved. The construction and i...

coal shed storage The steel structure   coal shed storage  has many advantages over other types of coal storage facilities. Firstly, it has a large storage capacity, which can meet the needs of the power plant for a long time. Secondly, it has good sealing performance, which can prevent the coal from being affected by the external environment and ensure the quality of the coal. Thirdly, it has a high degree of automation, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve the efficiency of coal handling. In addition, the steel structure   coal shed storage  is easy to assemble and disassemble, which can save time and labor costs during the construction process. It is also easy to maintain and repair, which can prolong the service life of the silo. In conclusion, the steel structure  coal shed storage  is an important facility in the coal handling system of thermal power plants and other industries. It has many advantages, such as large storage capa...
