I have no idea why RUclips brought us together today, but this is really good content. This is the sort of insight that you normally don’t get unless you work someplace for a long time and some of the old salty’s decide to share.
I never knew I needed to know so much about turnbuckles 😂
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Enlightening.
Appreciate the detailed explanation. Could you add a few points on where they should not be used and pre use inspection 👍
Sure thing! Check out this article we have on inspecting turnbuckles to ASME standards. I will work on finding you some examples of when not to use turnbuckles. www.mazzellacompanies.com/learning-center/how-are-turnbuckles-inspected-repaired/
Here are some places to NOT use turnbuckles.
• For permanent rigging applications in heavy vibration environments. Vibrations can cause the end fittings to loosen and, quite possibly, even spin out. There are jam nuts you can use to hold the end fittings in place.
• Following that same point, because of this adjustability, you would always want to have the ability to see your turnbuckles, again, to make sure they are not loosening. You don’t want them covered or hidden. You want to see them while using them.
• In-line lifting only. You don't want to be bending a turnbuckle over any edge. Straight, in-line pulls
• NO hook end fittings for long-term applications
Thank you
Glad you found this helpful!
Good stuff. Do you ever see 316 SS turnbuckles needing used in industrial applications other than marine?
Marine is definitely one of the best applications for the SS 316 turnbuckles. Corrosion resistance is of supreme importance in marine applications. Really, it's anywhere with water. Wastewater treatment plants, for example, are places where they get used frequently.
2nd to Marine applications would be hazardous chemical places. The chromium-nickel alloy has resistance to many chemicals such as sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid.
On another note, these can also be used in high-heat situations. The SS 316 turnbuckles are suited well for high-temperature applications as well.
We do see them used a little bit in construction.
Good
Thanks for watching!
I couldn’t rig a raffle so took up pipe fitting.
Hello there, thanks a lot for those kind of helpful videos ,I have just one issue ,about the possibility of cut around 3m of crane wire rope just to remove the damaged part of it's safe or not ,if yes ,which standard cover that .
Not sure I quite understand your question. Are you talking about cutting a section of bad rope off a crane to install a button/socket?
