Construction Method of Exothermic Welding for Copper-clad Steel Ground Wire

We are a professional manufacturer of grounding conductors for lightning protection and earthing productions. Our main products are copper clad steel earth rod, copper clad copper clad ground wire, CCS cable, CCS flat bar and exothermic welding products.

Copper-clad steel products are now widely used in lightning protection and grounding projects. The connection of copper-clad steel products is inseparable from a simple and easy-to-operate exothermic welding process. The following is a detailed introduction of the construction of copper-clad steel products using exothermic welding method:

1. Straightness and bending of the grounding wire: The copper-clad steel ground wire is generally coiled, and it should be straightened by a special straightening machine. When straightening, avoid damage to the surface of the grounding wire and avoid twisting the grounding wire. In the construction of the grounding wire, the method of cold simmering should be used when bending is required.

2. Installation of the grounding wire: The installation location of the copper-clad steel ground wire should be reasonable, easy to check, and will not hinder the maintenance and operation of the equipment. The installation of the grounding wire should be beautiful to prevent the reduction of the cross-section and strength of the grounding wire due to the processing method. The distance between pieces should be 0.5~1.5m in the horizontal straight part; 1.5~3m in the vertical part; 0.3~0.5m in the turning part. The copper-clad steel ground wire should be laid horizontally or vertically, and it can also be connected to the building. The odor structure is laid in parallel; on the straight section, there should be no ups and downs and bending. When the grounding wire is laid horizontally along the building wall, the distance from the ground should be 250~300mm; the gap between the grounding wire and the building wall should be 10~15mm. When the copperweld ground wire crosses the expansion joint and settlement joint of the building, a compensator should be installed, and the compensator should also be replaced by the grounding wire itself bent into an arc.

3. Welding of copper-clad steel ground wire: hot-melt welding, generally butt welding, is carried out after laying, and "T" or "cross" type welding is used when there are branches and ground electrodes.

4. Backfilling: backfilling can be conducted when the grounding resistance has passed the test, and the inspection results meet the design and construction specification acceptance requirements. There should be no stones and construction waste in the backfilled soil; the soil taken from outside must not be strong, and it should be compacted in layers; the outdoor grounding backfill should have an anti-settling layer with a height of 100-300mm; in the rocky section or the soil section with high resistivity in the mountainous area, it should be backfilled at least 100mm in the trench. Then, lay the grounding body, and then tamp the backfill with the pure soil layer by layer.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
