C. Anode current density :200A/dm2.

6.10.4 Procedure

A. Pour 1.0N H2SO4 solution into the beaker, fix the anode and cathode and completely flood the effective working part of the anode;

B. After the temperature of the electrolyte rises to 40℃, switch on the power supply and adjust the electrolytic current as the specified value, and maintain its constant during the test. During the electrolytic process, a certain amount of distilled water and H2SO4 are added irregularly to maintain the electrolyte level and concentration;

C. Record the electrolytic time, electrolytic current and electrolytic cell voltage every half an hour;

D. stop the test when the electrolytic cell voltage begins to rise rapidly and substantially;

E. The accumulated electrolytic time from the beginning of the test to the beginning of a substantial increase in the electrolytic cell voltage is called the enhanced life test failure time of the tested electrode.

6.11 Determination of brine concentration

The hydrometer of gravimetric method shall be adopted. In case of any discrepancy, the gravimetric method shall prevail.

7 Inspection Rules

7.1 There are two types of inspection: ex-factory inspection and type inspection

7.2 Delivery inspection

7.2.1 Before delivery, the equipment shall be inspected one by one according to the specified items and test methods, and the products shall be delivered to use only after passing the inspection.

7.2.2 Delivery inspection items

Visual inspection, power operation and insulation test shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of Articles 5.2.4, 5.5, 5.6.2 and 5.6.4 of this standard and the provisions of Articles 6.3 and 6.6 of this standard.


7.3.1 Type test must be carried out if one of the conditions exists

A. Test and finalize the production of new products or old products transferred to the factory;

B. After formal production, the main materials and components of the product are changed greatly, the structural parameters of the electrolytic cell are changed, and the electrode processing technology is changed;

C. In normal production, 100 sets shall be produced each (once a year if the annual output is less than 100 sets);

D. When the product is suspended for a long time and the production is resumed;

E. If there is a big difference between the ex-factory inspection result and the last type inspection;

F. When the national quality supervision agency puts forward the requirements for type inspection.

7.3.2 Type inspection shall be conducted according to the technical requirements in Chapter 5 of this Standard and the test method specified in Chapter 6.

7.3.3 In the type inspection, if there is a certain unqualified item of any equipment inspected, double sampling shall be taken from the batch of products and the unqualified item shall be reinspected. If the unqualified item is still unqualified, the production shall be stopped and the type inspection shall be conducted again after the reason is found out.

7.3.4 The number of sample sets for type inspection shall be no less than 3 sets.

7.3.5 The products that do not pass the type test cannot be produced.

8 Marking, packaging, transportation and storage

8.1 The nameplate shall be fixed at the specified position for each device, and the content of the nameplate shall be as follows:

A. Manufacturer's name and trademark;

B. Equipment name;

C. Product marks and product models;

D. Equipment manufacturing number (or date) or production lot number;

E. Main technical parameters of the product (including chlorine yield, power supply voltage, rated electrolytic current, electrolytic voltage, electrolyte concentration and electrolyte consumption).

8.2 the packing

8.2.1 Packing method: Generally packed in boxes, some spare parts and accessories can also be packed in bundles.

8.2.2 The package shall be moisture-proof and shockproof. The dimensions and weight of the package shall conform to JB 2759. The top of the package shall be flat.

8.2.3 Before packing the products, the center of gravity should be placed in the middle and lower, and the products with a higher center of gravity should be packed horizontally as far as possible. Balance measures should be taken for products whose center of gravity deviates from the center of gravity.

8.2.4 The packing cases shall have sufficient strength, and the lifting test, stacking test and road transportation test shall comply with JB 2759.

8.2.5 The products shall be packed against rain and shall meet the requirements of 2.7 in JB 2756.

8.2.6 The packaging marks shall be accurately, clearly and firmly sprayed on the box surface with indelible paint and ink. The marks generally include:

A. Product model, name, specification and quantity;

B. case number;

C. Maximum external dimension of box body [l × W × H (cm)];

D. Net and gross weight (kg);

E. Made in the People's Republic of China (this mark is not required for domestic shipment).

8.2.7 When the products are packed in multiple boxes, the number of boxes shall be expressed by fractions. The numerator is the number of boxes and the denominator is the total number of boxes. The main box shall be no. 1.

8.2.8 For packages that need to be lifted and the center of gravity deviates obviously from the center, "lifting from here" and "center of gravity" should be marked and accurately sprayed on the corresponding parts of the package.

8.2.9 The attached files include:

A. Operating instructions;

B. Certificate of Conformity;

C. Packing list;

D. Attached list;

E. Other relevant technical information.

When unpacking, the documents are usually placed in the main box.
