TLS Offshore containers follow DNV2.7-1 standard to do test for offshore containers, the container should be lifted with a sling at a certain angle in the vertical direction according to the specification of DNV2.7-1. 
 
ALL POINT LIFTING TEST: 
The weight (2.5R-T) is placed inside the box and the deformation of the bottom frame is measured simultaneously. After 5 minutes of static lifting of the container, measure the deformation of the bottom frame.
 
2- point LIFTING TEST: 
Reduce the weight inside the box to (1.5R-T), and measure the deformation of the bottom frame.
 
FORK POCKET LIFTING TEST(If the container has pockets):
Adjust the weight inside the box to (1.6R-T), and measure the deformation of the bottom frame at the same time. Fix the fork arm with angle pieces or jack the container up and stand still for 5 minutes, then measure the line variation of the bottom frame (for the small container, directly lift the container with forklift and stand still for 5 minutes, then test and record the data). 
 
VERTICAL IMPACT TEST: Adjust the weight in the container to R-T state.
 
Appropriate Shackle and Wire Rope Sling should be installed on the four lifting points according to the design requirements of the drawing, and the lifting point of the Wire Rope should be adjusted appropriately to confirm that the container has a certain slope, and then the container should be unloaded quickly between the hook of the crane and the Wire Rope, and the container should be pulled by the Rope during lifting to prevent the container from swinging randomly.
Lift the container to the cement surface, adjust the tilt angle of the bottom side beam of the box by 5° (ensure that the highest point of the bottom frame can't be higher than the lowest point 400 mm), and ensure that the lowest point of the bottom frame of the container is more than 5 cm free naked distance from the ground to operate quick shackle, so that the container free fall.
Inspect all structural parts of the container for cracks or damage immediately after the drop sample is completed.

    To withstand the test of various climates, the coating of the container must have very good application performance. One of the important indicators is excellent anti-corrosion performance, including long-term corrosion resistance of marine climate, good water resistance, salt water resistance, oil resistance, humidity and heat resistance, chemical resistance, etc.
      The film thickness of the paint is an important indicator to detect the performance of the container coating, which will directly affect the anti-corrosion performance of the paint film.
      Containers with different functions have different requirements for paint film thickness. TLS will give professional suggestions according to the specific needs of customers. For the manufacturing process of containers, TLS will follow up and monitor the whole process, including the detection of film thickness.

    Welders of TLS offshore containers must have the corresponding welding qualification certificate, have the same type of container welding experience, and be approved by the production department manager and filed with the quality assurance department.

    The whole container assembly process is followed by QC to ensure that it passes the on-site inspection of the third-party classification society.

    Offshore containers provided by TLS are certified by third-party classification societies (BV, LR, DNV, ABS....), and the quality is trustworthy.

1 WELDING INSPECTION
Welding inspection of containers, including inspection and NDT.
The whole inspection process runs through the manufacturing process of containers, not limited to the final product, and adjusts production at any time to ensure welding quality.
 
2 LIFTING TEST
In addition to the test required by international container safety convention, our company will also carry out a two-point and four-point lifting test.
The two-point lifting test mainly tests the anti-deformation ability of containers at sea under extreme conditions, and the four-point lifting test mainly tests the carrying capacity of containers at sea. Both tests do not allow permanent deformation of containers at sea during accelerated crane lifting.
 
3 DROP TEST
The main purpose of the drop test is to examine the impact of the lifting and placing of containers at sea to ensure that the cabinet can withstand the damage caused by the impact.
 
4. WATER TIGHTNESS TEST
The container body is sprayed with high-pressure water from all directions, and will be checked in all directions after spraying to ensure that there is no water in it.
