Case Study: Baffle Plates Manufacturing for Pressure Vessels

Baffle plates play an important role in controlling fluid flow and preventing vortex formation in pressure vessels. In this article, we will discuss a project case involving the manufacturing of 300 baffle plates using 2205 and Q235B carbon steel with thicknesses of 12mm and 16mm. The baffle plates were custom-made according to the drawings provided by the customer.

Project Description:

A customer approached our company with a request to manufacture 300 baffle plates for pressure vessels. The customer provided detailed drawings for the baffle plates, which were custom-made to their specifications. The baffle plates were made of 2205 and Q235B materials, with thicknesses ranging from 12mm to 16mm.

Manufacturing process

The baffle plates were manufactured using the following process:

  • Raw material inspection: The raw materials were first inspected to ensure that they met the required specifications.
  • Cutting: The raw materials were then cut to the required dimensions.
  • Drilling and machining: The baffle plates were then drilled and tapped for the required fasteners.
  • Welding: The baffle plates were then welded together.
  • Thermal Stress Relieving: The baffle plates were then heat treated to the required hardness.
  • Quality Inspection: The baffle plates were then inspected for quality assurance.

The baffle plates were manufactured to the customer's specifications and were delivered on time. The customer was pleased with the quality of the baffle plates and the overall service provided by our company.

Conclusion

This project was a success because we were able to meet the customer's requirements and deliver the baffle plates on time. We were also able to manufacture the baffle plates to a high-quality standard. This project demonstrates our ability to manufacture custom-made baffle plates for pressure vessels.

Benefits of Using Baffle Plates

Baffle plates are used in pressure vessels to improve their performance and safety. Baffle plates can help to:

  • Increase the turbulence of the fluid flow, which improves heat transfer.
  • Reduce the pressure drop across the vessel, which saves energy.
  • Prevent the formation of dead zones, which can lead to corrosion.
  • Increase the structural integrity of the vessel.

Baffle plates are an important component of pressure vessels. They can help to improve the performance, safety, and durability of these vessels.
