1. Intshayelelo
I-aluminium sheet sheet idlala indima ebalulekileyo kumashishini ahlukeneyo, ukusuka kwi-aerospace kunye neemoto ukuya kulwakhiwo kunye nobunjineli baselwandle.
Ubunzima bayo bokukhanya, ukumelana nomhlwa, kunye ne-thermal conductivity egqwesileyo yenza kube yinto yokuya kwizinto zombini kunye nezicelo zokuhombisa.
Phakathi kweefom ezininzi apho i-aluminium yenziwe khona, 16 igeyiji yealuminiyam sheet igqame njengobukhulu obusetyenziswa ngokubanzi obubetha ulungelelwano phakathi kwamandla kunye nokuguquguquka.
Ukuqonda iinkqubo ze-metal gauge kubalulekile ekukhethweni kwezinto eziphathekayo, njengoko ubukhulu obungafanelekanga bunokuphazamisa ingqibelelo yemveliso, ukwandisa iindleko zempahla, okanye udale imida yoyilo.
Eli nqaku libonelela ngocazululo oluneenkcukacha lobugcisa bento 16 igeyiji yealuminiyam ithetha ngokobunzima, iipropathi, kunye nokusebenza.
2. Ukuqonda iiNkqubo zeGauge
Lithetha ukuthini “iGauge” ekusebenzeni ngesinyithi?
Kwimveliso yesinyithi, igama elithile “igeyiji” yiyunithi yemveli yomlinganiselo ebonisa i ubukhulu bephepha lesinyithi.
Nangona kunjalo, ngokungafaniyo neeyunithi zomgca ezifana nee-intshi okanye iimilimitha, isikali sokulinganisa si nonlinear kwaye ngokuphambeneyo-inani elisezantsi legeyiji limele iphepha elityebileyo, kwaye ngokuphambeneyo.
Le nkqubo yaqala ngenkulungwane ye-19, Kudala phambi kokwamkelwa ngokubanzi kweeyunithi zemetric ezisemgangathweni.
Kuba aluminium sheet metal, Igeyiji iyaqhubeka ukusetyenziswa ngokubanzi kumashishini afana nokwakha, iimoto, Hvac, kunye ne-aerospace.
Kodwa ngenxa yokuba inkqubo yokulinganisa ayifaniswanga ngokubanzi kuzo zonke izixhobo, kubalulekile ukuqonda iimpembelelo zayo ezingqalileyo.
Umahluko phakathi kweAluminiyam kunye neSteel Gauge Systems
Ukungaqondi kakuhle okuqhelekileyo kukuba amaxabiso egeyiji ayatshintshwa phakathi kwemathiriyeli njengentsimbi kunye ne-aluminiyam.
Kwinyani, bayalandela iitshathi zokulinganisa ezahlukeneyo. Njengokuba, ngelixa 16 igeji intsimbi Phantse 0.0598 intshi (1.52 mm) ngqindilili, 16 igeji aluminiyam yi 0.0508 intshi (1.29 mm).
| Igeji | Aluminiyam (intshi) | Aluminiyam (mm) | Intsimbi (intshi) | Intsimbi (mm) |
