Video transcript

  1. 0:00Most failed nameplates aren't steel failures. They're gaps in the order.
  2. 0:05Start with the data: freeze rating, serial and safety fields, put minimum character height and reading distance on the drawing, then size the plate.
  3. 0:16Pick grade by chemistry: 304 indoors, 316 for salt or washdown. It adds margin, not immunity. Ask for a mill test report.
  4. 0:27Recess the mark into the metal. Fill adds contrast but wears first, so critical data must read from the recess alone. State minimum depth on the drawing.
  5. 0:39On vibrating equipment, screw or rivet a rigid plate with matching fasteners, then write acceptance checks into the purchase order.
  6. 0:50Send your drawing, quantity, environment and standards.
  7. 0:55We propose grade, process, depth, mounting and tests.
