peddinghaus steel fabricators' review summer 2003

NASCC 2003 RECAP:

F o l l o w F o l l o w T h a t C a r !T h a t C a r !Everyone knows that more than 95 percent of the structural steel pro-

duced in the U.S. is from recycled materials, right? Well just in case you

weren’t a believer, this year’s NASCC (National Association Steel

Construction Conference, sponsored by American Institute of Steel

Construction, AISC) exhibit hall featured an audience participation event to

emphasize the point.

On Wednesday evening, a stripped-down late model Oldsmobile

Achieva was brought to the exhibit hall, and conference attendees were

invited to don safety goggles and take a swing at it with their choice of

sledge hammers.

Within hours, the car was transferred to a scrap yard (Davis Industries

of Lorton, VA) for shredding. The car, which weighed about 2200 lbs.

when it arrived at the shredder, netted about 1800 lbs. of steel for recy-

cling. The shredded car fit nicely in a cardboard box about 4’ on each side.

The country’s economic malaise is infecting designfirms in the general building sector, especiallythose with a heavy dose of commercial clients.

However, not all the news is glum.Indicators hint that an economic uptick could bejust around the corner and architects and engineerssay that health care, research and K-12 school mar-kets are providing a steady diet of projects that aremore than sustaining firms through the lean times.Sources also say thatfederal projects areproviding anotherreliable stream ofwork.

“The View From Here”

Super Quiet About Super HeightMum’s the word, according to projectarchitect-engineer Skidmore, Owings &Merrill, about the exact height of a pro-posed supertall building for Dubai,United Arab Emirates. All SOM willreveal is that its latest contender for theworld’s tallest building would “surpass”SOM’s 442-meter Sears Tower, the 452-m twin Petronas Towers and the planned492-m Shanghai World Financial Centre,also gearing up for construction. Designfor the Burj Dubai mixed-used complex,developed by Emaar Properties PJSC, is

under way, says SOM. The Y-in-plan tower has threevertical elements, each with multiple setbacks, “spiral-ing” around a core. Shapes are derived from geometricsof the desert flower and patterning systems in Islamicarchitecture, says SOM. Construction is set to beginthis year.Information from: Engineering News Record, July 7, 2003 ed., A McGraw HillPublication

Summer, 2003 STEEL FABRICATOR’S REVIEW

New Tax Laws Benefit Capital Equipment Expenditures

On May 28, 2003, President Bush signed the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act. Highlights of this new 2003 tax act- as they pertain to our industry are as follows:

- The first year bonus depreciation increased - from 30% to 50% - for qualified property acquired after May 5, 2003and before January 1, 2005.

- The Section 179 expense limit increased - for 2003, 2004, and 2005; the annual expense limit for newly acquiredfixed assets increases to $100,000. The phase-out range for allowable Sec 179 expense increases to $400,000 offixed asset additions (previously $200,000).

Financial tax consultants have reported that companies making purchase investments have realized tax savings in the first year ofup to 70%! This represents a remarkable savings for those firms seeking competitive advantages. Check with your accountant ortax advisor to learn how this extraordinary new program can help your company grow!

The Search Is OnThe search is on for the oldest Peddinghausmachine in the field! As part of Peddinghaus’100th anniversary celebration, we need your assis-tance to join the search for the oldest Peddinghausmachine.

Very often, our service and parts people are asked technical questions orparts availability for machines that are twenty, thirty, or even forty yearsold! Two years ago, we received a call on an ironworker that was built in1952. It’s hard to believe, but we had the correct shear blade in stock,and delivered it the next day to the user.

Take a photo of the machine with a company official, and forward toLyle Menke; e-mail [email protected]. Send as much dataon the machine, application, years in service, etc., along with the photoso we can thoroughly review.

We hope to create a special section of our Peddinghaus Wall of Famededicated to these historical machines.

The quality standard for fabrication, maintenance,and perform-ance. The Peddinghaus 210 Super 16 Steel Worker.

Could this be the oldest Peddinghaus machine in NorthAmerica? It is a 210/13 ironworker still in operation atMachinery Services Corp. in Paterson, NJ.

Who is the distinguished gentleman at the helm? None otherthan our own Jerry Hilston, retired Senior Vice President ofPeddinghaus Corporation. Jerry remains a true “man ofsteel” still visiting customers on behalf of Peddinghaus.

The Fall 2003, Steel Fab Review, will highlight the outstand-ing contributions of this venerable gentleman.

Peddinghaus manufactures-the right steel worker for any job-large or small.

Working with Earnhardt/Hunt, Steel Service has successfully completedanother prominent project - the Grand Rapids Convention Center. Themagnitude of the structure and complexity of the design make it diffi-cult to believe but SSC, along with the other members of their team,

completed the project a month early.

The previous convention center, DeVos Hall, was enormous. However,it is dwarfed by the expansion which covers the equivalent of 14 foot-ball fields or about 10 acres and has an 80-foot building height. This

addition has a 350-foot clear span roof supported by two enormous boxtrusses weighing in at 2,000 tons with

dimensions of 30 feet width and 48 feetdepth.

The HySpeed® AdvantageWho may benefit most from Hypertherm’s Coaxial-assist jet™200-amp oxygen HySpeed technology and how to achieveoptimal performance when transitioning from the standardprocess

HySpeed customer profile

Hypertherm’s new Coaxial-assist jet technologyfor the HySpeed HT2000 will provide greatestbenefit to high duty cycle users who require highoutput from their HT2000 systems. The optimalprofile for a HySpeed customer is one who:

■ Cuts mild steel primarily if not exclusively withthe 200 amp oxygen process

■ Operates the cutting table on multiple shifts■ Maintains their plasma system in top running

order■ Has a cutting platform (X-Y table or plasma

punch press) able to handle cutting speedsup to 50% higher than what they are currentlyrunning using the standard process. Oldretrofitted oxyfuel tables may not deliver thesehigher speeds with acceptable cut quality andproper motion control.

■ Follows operating procedures set forth inHypertherm’s operating manual

Typical applications are steel service centers,heavy to mid-level fabricators, shipyards, andlarger job shops.

HySpeed process optimization

If the end user has an HT2000LHF, they mustorder a new off-valve assembly in order to cut atthe proper pressures and flows for HySpeed. Thepart number for this new off-valve assembly is129840. No equipment modification or upgradeis required for a standard HT2000 user.

End users seeking to transition from the standardcutting process to HySpeed must have the new200-amp oxygen consumables, a copy of the newcut chart and adhere to the new cuttingparameters. HySpeed requires slightly differentarc voltage and gas flow settings. If HySpeedcutting parameters are not used, cut quality willsuffer. Here are a few key settings to check at thegas console:

■ In Test Preflow mode:• N2 pressure gauge must read 120 psig• O2 pressure gauge must read 120 psig or

higher; no need to adjust if the reading is atleast 120 psig.

• N2/Air flow meter ball must be set to 38%• O2 flow meter ball must be set to 12%

■ In Test Cutflow mode:• O2 pressure gauge must read 120 psig• O2 flow meter ball should be set to 75%

■ During cutting• The O2 flow meter ball should read

approximately 72%. Readings significantlydifferent may indicate that a hose ispinched or there is a gas leak.

If the gas supply system will not support thesesettings, then maintenance or repair must beperformed. These settings are essential forproper HySpeed performance and cut quality.

In addition to gas supply issues, other changesmust be made in accord with the new cuttingparameters. All are specified in the new cutcharts:

■ Reset cut program speeds in accordance withcut chart parameters

■ If the end user operates with arc voltagecontrol, reset arc voltage to cut chartparameters for HySpeed.

■ If the end user operates a manual standoffsystem, set standoff to heights indicated inHySpeed cut charts

■ Check kerf width compensation values tothose cited in cut chart

Technical support

If an end user has a qualified cutting installationable to handle the speeds associated with thenew process and is able to successfully adjusttheir system to the cutting parameters set forth inthe HySpeed cut charts, the transition to the newtechnology should be successful and high speedcutting with excellent cut quality should result. Inthe event that the customer does not see thesepositive results, please contact an authorizedHypertherm service representative.

www.hypertherm.com

By delivering dramaticallyhigher cutting speeds,Hypertherm’s HySpeedCoaxial-assist jet technologywill considerably reduceoperating costs anddramatically increaseproductivity for many endusers. This guide provides aprofile of those end userswho are likely to see themost benefit from HySpeed.It also describes a fewrequired steps to switchfrom standard cutting to theHySpeed process.

OSA Booth Steels the Show

Members of the Ohio Structural Steel and Architectural MetalsAssociation (OSA) teamed up this year to create a new boothfor the Central Ohio Construction Expo-one that would steelthe show..

“We wanted our booth to have a fresh new look to createinterest and awareness of the benefits of steel and steel coat-ings for construction applications,” said Larry Roland ofEngineered Products, Inc., in Columbus, OH.

The challenge was to provide a steel structure that fit thelength and width of OSA’s 18’-by-6’ booth space, yet was self-

supporting and could be installed by hand, said Mike Hammelof AISC-member Concord Fabricators, Grove City, OH. “A
