Chapter 28 Class II Pressure Vessels
As two large trucks of Jiefang brand sent by Fengnan Machinery Factory slowly drove into the Hanhua factory loaded with tangerines, Lin Zhenhua became famous overnight and became the object of hot discussion among men, women and children in the factory.The one who likes the name Lin Zhenhua the most is the children in the factory. Each of them holds a handful of Fengnan Tangerines the size of a ping-pong ball in their hands and eats them with gusto. Now Xiaohua can exchange eight tons of oranges for the whole factory with a single blueprint.

"Xiaohua is a promising child. This is Lao Lin and his wife taking care of him in heaven." This is the comment of the old workers who made friends with Lin Zhenhua's parents back then.

"I see that Xiao Hua is very promising, unlike you, he knows how to play cards every day." This is a sentence often uttered in families with unemployed young people.

"Study hard, even if you don't get into university in the future, it's good to be able to invent and create like Xiaohua." This is the advice of those parents whose children are still in primary and secondary schools.

"Xiaohua doesn't seem to be dating yet, our Xiaohua..." This is the imagination of those who dream of becoming Lin Zhenhua's father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Xiaohua has been a soldier for several years, and he has really changed a lot. When I was at the same table with me, I borrowed his eraser..." This is the voice of the young girls.

"Comrade Lin Zhenhua has very comprehensive skills. According to Director Luo of the metalworking workshop, he is very familiar with the two types of work, lathe and milling, at least equivalent to the level of a third-level worker. In addition, the drawings he draws, the technical department Comrades have also read it, and think it has reached the level of professional drawing. Therefore, I think it is a waste of talent to let Lin Zhenhua continue to work as a porter, and he should be replaced by another job." This is the speech of Zhu Tiejun, the deputy director of the factory in charge of production. , The location of the speech was in the conference room of the factory department, and all the factory leaders participated in the meeting.

"Old Liang, what's your opinion?" Factory director Chen Weiguo pointed to Liang Guangping and said.

Liang Guangping is in charge of personnel work, and the issue of job allocation is his scope of work.When Zhu Tiejun was speaking, he was always admiring a glass travel mug in his hand, which was covered with a nylon silk cup sleeve, which could not only prevent slipping, but also prevent scalding.This kind of cup is very popular nowadays. Liang Guangping has several in his family, all of which were given to him by workers in the factory under different names.

Hearing Chen Weiguo called his name, Liang Guangping put down his cup, coughed lightly, and said, "I don't know much about what Lao Zhu said, and it's a bit bureaucratic. Comrade Lin Zhenhua, maybe Lao Zhu doesn't know much about it. The leader of the factory should know him well. He was originally a child of the factory and had just returned from the army. Before he joined the army, he was very mischievous, almost like the delinquent youth mentioned in the newspaper. His junior high school diploma is also a member of the security department. It can be seen that his education level is very low. In view of this situation, I arranged for him to work as a porter in the metalworking workshop. I hope he can learn some cultural knowledge during the porter. If If there are some results, it’s okay to change jobs. I made this very clear to him at the time, and he agreed.”

"Old Liang, this is a thing of the past." Zhu Tiejun said, he could naturally guess that the reason why Liang Guangping arranged for Lin Zhenhua to be a porter was that Lin Zhenhua did not give gifts.But anyone who did not give Liang Guangping a gift was almost never given a good job. This was an open secret in the factory.However, Zhu Tiejun didn't want to conflict with Liang Guangping on this issue, and he wanted to protect Lin Zhenhua alone: ​​"Old Liang, it seems that Comrade Xiao Lin has made great progress after serving in the army for two years. He is very comprehensive, and he is very decent in his work. This time, the factory sent him to Fengnan Machinery Factory to guide and arrange gear hobbing machines, and the other party spoke very well of him.”

"Chairman Mao said that the army is a big school. A naughty child like Xiaohua has become sensible after staying in the army for two years." Party Secretary Zou Shicheng said, "The prodigal son will not change money when he turns back. Since Xiaohua has changed Well, we should give him a chance."

Of course, Liang Guangping would not clash with his colleagues because of a little Lin Zhenhua. What he said earlier was just to prove that he was not wrong.Hearing that the factory manager and the secretary were both inclined to promote Lin Zhenhua, he naturally pushed the boat along the way: "There is no problem with this. His type of work can be changed. What kind of work should he change to? Let's ask Lao Luo to arrange it later. He is a metalworking workshop after all. However, even if Lin Zhenhua changes to a technical job, he can only be counted as an apprentice. There are regulations on this grade, and the working years are not enough, so he cannot be promoted."

"This regulation is really too rigid." Zhu Tiejun said angrily. He knew that he was powerless to challenge the rules. A worker's promotion means a wage increase. The state is very strict in this regard. I just can't bring it up for you.

"Okay, let's leave it as it is." Chen Weiguo said, "Old Zhu, what did you think about the second-class pressure vessel when you talked about it last time? Let me take this opportunity to tell everyone about it." .”

Zhu Tiejun said: "I have been thinking about this matter for a long time. The predecessor of our factory was a chemical equipment installation company, and then slowly formed the ability to manufacture equipment. But so far, we have only one type of pressure The production license for containers, and the petrochemical machine already has a license for three types of containers. Now our container workshop has insufficient tasks, and a large group of workers have nothing to do. I heard that some people sleep in the workshop during the day and go to work at night. Township enterprises do private work to earn money. But the petrochemical machinery now has too many tasks to do, and we can’t get it if they want to share it with us. Therefore, I think we should find a way to get the license for the second-class pressure vessel.”

The so-called pressure vessel refers to airtight equipment containing gas or liquid and carrying a certain pressure, including storage and transportation containers, reaction containers, heat exchange containers and separation containers.According to the working pressure of the pressure vessel, the hazard of the medium and its role in production, the pressure vessel can be divided into three categories, of which the third category has the highest requirements, and the first category has the lowest requirements.At present, Hanhua Machinery Factory can only meet the standard for producing Class I pressure vessels.

As for the petrochemical machinery that Zhu Tiejun mentioned here, it is a large-scale enterprise in Jiangnan Province. Its full name is Jiangnan Petrochemical Machinery Factory. It has the production and design license of the third category of pressure vessels, which is unique in the entire Jiangnan Province.When the director of the petrochemical machinery went to the Provincial Department of Light and Chemical Industry for a meeting, he was on an equal footing with the leaders in the department.

Jiang Manqing, the deputy factory director in charge of logistics, said with emotion: "I also understand what Lao Zhu said. If we can get the license for the second-class container, then the task can be at least twice as much as it is now. And the second-class There are few manufacturers of containers, and the profit is much higher than that of the first type of container. The profit of selling a large tank for petrochemical machines is 10,000+, which is worth the annual profit of our production of three machines and one pump.”

The term "three machines and one pump" first referred to the most commonly used diesel engines, tractors, electric motors and water pumps in agriculture. Later, various industries extended their own sayings about three machines and one pump.The "three machines and one pump" mentioned by Jiang Manqing here refers to several main products of Hanhua Machinery Factory, namely gas compressors, ice machines, centrifuges and centrifugal pumps, which are commonly used equipment in the chemical industry.

None of the leaders of the Hanhua Factory is a complete layman in industry.Chen Weiguo frowned and said: "Old Zhu's idea, we have actually discussed it in the early years, but there are many requirements for the production of second-class pressure vessels, and we may not be able to meet them for a while."

Zhu Tiejun said: "I have discussed this issue many times with comrades from the technical department and the container workshop. The state has some qualification requirements for second-class pressure vessel manufacturers. We have checked them item by item. Most of them All can be satisfied. Now there is only one problem left, which is the automatic submerged arc welding. The automatic submerged arc welding machine of the petrochemical machine is imported from Japan. The Department of Light and Chemical Engineering has not approved it, so this issue has been dragged on.”

Chen Weiguo said: "I know about this matter, what can you do now?"

Zhu Tiejun said: "I was inspired by Xiaolin's design of the gear hobbing machine. I think, since the Light Industry Department does not agree to import submerged arc welding machines for us, can we develop one ourselves?"

"Develop it yourself?" Jiang Manqing's eyes widened. "How can we develop such advanced equipment?"

Zhu Tiejun smiled slightly: "I thought submerged arc welding was very complicated. I talked with Xiao Lin in the metalworking workshop the other day. He said that the principle of this thing is actually very simple, and he can design it."

"Isn't it too bragging?" Liang Guangping put down his beloved travel mug and said disdainfully, "He did design a gear hobbing machine, but didn't he say it himself, it's just that he saw it elsewhere, according to Hulu It was only made by Hualao. He has also seen submerged arc welding?"

Zhu Tiejun nodded: "I don't know what this young man has in his head. Anyway, within two days, he handed me a set of blueprints. I asked Lao Fan from the technical department to read it. He It felt like it was right.”

Lao Fan is Fan Shibin, the chief of the technical department. He was a college student in the 50s. He is regarded as the technical authority of Hanhua Machinery Factory. What he can approve should be somewhat reliable.

"This Xiaolin, did he go to the army or go to university in the past two years?" Party Secretary Zou Shicheng muttered, "I heard that he also participated in self-defense counterattacks. How could he have so much time to learn these crooked techniques? ?”

Chen Weiguo said with a chuckle: "Old Zou, what Xiao Lin learned is not crooked. No matter how he learned it, since Lao Fan also thinks it is feasible, let's try it. In this way, Lao Zhu is responsible for grasping this matter and let The container workshop and the technical department dispatched capable personnel to form a technical research team to specialize in submerged arc welding, and let Xiaolin join this team. If the drawing he drew is correct, it is of course the best. If it is not correct, we have other people Well, everyone doesn't eat dry food."

"Let Populus euphratica from the foundry workshop also participate." Jiang Manqing interjected, "I heard that he is also good at technology."
