Structure Assembly and Test Plan Rev 2

Overview

This plan will describe the process for assembling and testing the rig structure. It will discuss the required equipment, applicable engineering requirements, desired outcomes of each test and a procedure that will run the user through every test needed during and after the development of the subsystem.

During the test the testing engineer should takes notes of anything deemed useful information. These notes should be written in the notes section of each test. These statements can include but are not limited to anomalies, odd functionality, failed test, suggested further testing and causes for confusion.

The lead engineer should contact David Sawyer Elliott if there is any confusion or if any component does not pass a testing.

During the testing of this subsystem, the lead test engineer must initial every step in the procedure. The lead engineer also needs to scan the completed document and email it to .

Procedure

Main Frame

·  NOTE: All end fasteners will be secured using a 3/16 hex head wrench

·  NOTE: Frame will need to be adjusted for different tank sizes

  1. Loosely attach end fastener (14) to corner bracket (1)
  2. Slide this attachment into one end of the main frame connector (2) until the corner of the bracket aligns with the end of the connector and, using a 3/16 hex head wrench, secure the bracket in place
  3. Along the same face, repeat steps 1 & 2 at the opposite end of the main frame connector
  4. Loosely attach end fasteners into the two remaining openings on the corner brackets
  5. Slide one end of the main frame connector onto one of the main frames (16) until outer face of connector aligns with the end of the main frame
  6. Repeat step 5 for the second main frame on the opposite end of the connector
  7. At the opposite ends of each main frame, use end fasteners to secure corner brackets on the inside faces (follow step 1). Corner of the brackets should align with the end of the frames
  8. At the connector end of the main frames, secure a bracket on the bottom face using end fasteners. Edge of the brackets should align with the end of the main frames
  9. Attach corner brackets to each support 1 (21) so that corner of bracket aligns with the end of the support
  10. Repeat step nine with both support 2’s (22)
  11. On each main frame, opposite of the connector, loosely slide each support 2 along the bottom face via corner brackets. Supports will be perpendicular to the main frames
  12. Following step 11, repeat for each support 1
  13. Align the inside edges of supports 1 and 2 so that they are 9/16” apart (distance mat vary due to different tank sizes)
  14. Tighten end fasteners to secure supports 1 and 2 to the main frame. Support 1’s should be the same distance from the end of each main frame.

Notes:

Corral

1.  Using end fasteners, attach corner brackets to each corral holder (6) so that the bracket corners align with the end of each holder

2.  Secure holders onto corral sliders (8) so that outer face of holder aligns with the end of slider

3.  Using two corral pins (7), press fit the corral front (5) into one end of each corral slider

4.  Slide corral base (4) into the T-slots of the two sliders

5.  Attach end caps (13) to open end of each slider

6.  Slide corral back (3) into the T-slots of the two holders

Test / Measured Value / Acceptable Value Range / ER# / Initials
Notes:

PIV

1.  Attach a corner bracket to the PIV connector (9) using an end fastener

2.  Using an end fastener, secure the PIV holder (18) perpendicular to the PIV connector via the bracket used in step 1

3.  On the opposite face and opposite end of the holder, attach a corner bracket using an end fastener

4.  Align PIV slider (19) perpendicular to the holder and secure to the bracket used in step 3 using an end fastener

5.  Slide a T-slotted stud (24) into the PIV slider and screw into the top of the PIV camera (17)

Test / Measured Value / Acceptable Value Range / ER# / Initials
Notes:

DUS

1.  Loosely attach end fasteners to a corner bracket and secure to one end of the DUS holder (10). Corner of the bracket should align with the end of the holder

2.  Mount and secure the DUS slider (12) perpendicular to the holder using the bracket from step 1

3.  Secure DUS probe (11) into rubber p-clamp (25)

4.  Attach p-clamp to DUS slider using an end fastener

Test / Measured Value / Acceptable Value Range / ER# / Initials
Notes:

Complete Structure

1.  Attach the corral holders to the corner brackets used in step 8 of the main frame assembly using end fasteners

2.  Secure the DUS assembly to the top face of the main frame via a corner bracket and end fasteners. Assembly should be perpendicular to the main frame and line up with the center of the corral.

3.  With the brackets used in step 7 of the main frame assembly, use end fasteners to attach the PIV assembly perpendicular to the main frame. Excess material from the PIV connector should overhang the main frame on the same side that the DUS assembly is attached.

4.  Using T-studs, secure Electronics Box (20) to the main frame opposite of the DUS assembly

5.  Attach plastic end caps to all open ends of the structure

Test / Measured Value / Acceptable Value Range / ER# / Initials
Place structure in tank, cantilever 10 extra pounds with the PIV camera / Tank doesn’t break
