Why can the service life of the ringlock scaffold be so long?

When it comes to ringlock scaffolding, I believe that many construction units that buy this product in addition to its safety and reliability and low cost of use, are basically aimed at its long service life. It has to be said that the service life of the ringlock scaffold is indeed much longer than that of the ordinary steel scaffold, which can reach more than 15 years, and the service life of the general steel pipe scaffold is only about 5-8 years. So, why can the ringlock scaffold be so long in its service life?

In fact, the service life of the ringlock scaffold can be so long, mainly because it uses the internal and external hot-dip galvanizing rust prevention process, hot-dip galvanizing through the principle of zinc resistance to atmospheric corrosion, to carry out electrochemical protection of steel and other materials, the surface of the zinc carbonate protective film can slow the speed of zinc corrosion, even if it is destroyed, it will form a zinc film treated, generally can be used for more than 15 years. In short, because the ringlock scaffold is selected for hot-dip galvanized treatment, its life in use is greatly extended.

However, it should be noted that even if the hot-dip galvanized treatment is used to extend the service life of the ringlock scaffold, it can not be taken lightly in maintenance. After all, if the ringlock scaffold is not well maintained, it will be deformed or worn to a certain extent. Therefore, on weekdays, it is also necessary to maintain the disc buckle scaffold, for example: during construction, it is necessary to strictly follow the planning and construction to avoid unnecessary wear and tear; And after the construction, when placed, it is necessary to do a good job of waterproof and moisture-proof measures to avoid zinc corrosion of the ringlock scaffold; When not in use, it is also necessary to check whether there is zinc, usually 3-5 years maintenance can be.
