MATTERS NEEDING ATTENTION

Welcome to use Ruixiang graphite electrodes. We will try our best to serve you. Please carefully read the operating manual before using the electrode, which can really help you correctly use it.

1. Names and Introduction of All Parts of Graphite Electrode Introduction: The connector of the graphite electrode is cone-shaped(3TPI and 4TPI) and has two types: one inch three teeth and one inch four teeth. The length of the connector also has two types: standard type and lengthened type.

2. Packaging of Graphite Electrode

2-1 Separate Packaging Type The electrode and the connector are separately packaged and transported.

2-2 Pre-packaging Type One end of the electrode is connected with the connector, both ends of the electrode are installed with protective caps, and then the electrode is packaged and transported. The main action of the packaging is to protect the electrode and the connector from being damaged in storage and transportation, particularly protect threads from being damaged.

3. Storage of Ruixiang Graphite Electrode

3-1 The electrode and the connector should be placed on wood, an iron stand or clean cement ground, so that the electrode is prevented from being damaged or contaminated by dust; and for the electrodes which are not used now, their package should be removed, so that the dust and foreign bodies are prevented from falling on the threads, end surfaces of electrode or internal threads of electrode hole;

3-2 The electrode should be placed in order in the warehouse, the ends of the electrode stacks should be well cushioned in order to avoid the electrodes from falling off, and the piling height of the electrodes should not be more than 2m in general;

3-3 The stored electrodes should be kept away from rain and moisture; and the moist electrodes should be dried before using, so that the electrode is prevented from cracking and more oxidation in steel making; 3-4 The connectors of the stored electrodes should not be close to a place at high temperature so as to avoid the melting of the connection pins.

4. Transportation of Graphite Electrode

4-1 When the electrodes are lifted or inversely moved, please pay more attention, gently lift and place the electrodes, so that the electrodes are prevented from tilting to slip off to break the electrodes;

4-2 In order to guarantee that the internal threads of the electrode holes on the end surfaces of the electrode and the connector threads are under good conditions, do not use iron hooks or other hard materials to hang the electrode holes or connectors at both ends of the electrodes when the electrodes are lifted, you should use the special electrode hoist to lift the unpackaged electrodes;

4-3 When the connector box is loaded or unloaded, you should gently handle it so as to avoid the bumping of the connectors, which may cause the damage to the threads;

4-4 When the electrodes are lifted up, the end contacting the ground should be cushioned by soft pads so as to avoid damaging the ends and connectors of the electrodes; and for the electrodes with big diameter, you should gradually use mechanical devices for horizontal-vertical switch of the electrodes.
