A Complete Breakdown of Disc-Coupler Scaffolding

                                                     1. How is disk-coupler scaffolding classified?

(1) By model: Type A and Type B. According to the "Safety Technical Standards for Socket-Type Disk-Coupling Steel Pipe Scaffolding in Building Construction"(JGJ/T231-2021), there are two main types:

 

Type A: Also known as the "60 series" in the market, with a vertical pole diameter of 60 mm. It is specifically designed for heavy-duty support applications, such as bridge construction.

 

Type B: Also known as the 48 series, with a vertical post diameter of 48 mm. It is primarily used in building construction, interior renovation, and stage lighting rigs.

 

(2) Classification by Upright Connection Method: Based on the connection method of the uprights in disk-coupler scaffolding, there are two types: outer sleeve connections and internal connection rods.

 

Internal Connection: The 60 series commonly uses internal connections.

 

Outer Sleeve Connection: The 48 series generally uses outer sleeve connections.

 

 

                                                        2. What does a support frame system consist of?

 

Disk-coupler scaffolding systems are primarily divided into the following components:

 

Basic Components: Uprights, crossbars, diagonal braces, positioning rods, bases, and top supports;

 

Connection Points: Discs, crossbar castings, diagonal brace castings, and pin plates;

 

Special Components: Platforms, ladders, steel trusses, external tripods, and steel diagonal braces;

 

Accessory Products: Aluminum alloy beams

 

                                                                                       3. Adjustable Base
Specifications: Height 500 mm, 600 mm; Outer Diameter 38 mm; Wall Thickness 5 mm

Material: Q235B

Function: Used to adjust the height of the bottom of the rack.

                                             4. Starting Pole (Standard Base)
Specifications: Height 200 mm; Outer Diameter 48 mm; Wall Thickness 3.2 mm
Material: Q345A
Function: Used when setting up the scaffold; a sleeve is welded to the top, and the bottom connects directly to the adjustable base.

                                                                     5 . Support Pole
Specifications: Height 1000 mm, 1500 mm, 2000 mm, 2500 mm, 3000 mm; Outer Diameter 48 mm; Wall Thickness 3.2 mm

Function: Connected to the standard base, it serves as the primary load-bearing component. A set of discs is welded onto the pole every 500 mm.

 

 

                                                                                  6. Crossbars
Specifications: Lengths of 600 mm, 900 mm, 1200 mm, and 1500 mm (module 300 mm; other sizes include 300 mm, 1800 mm, and 2000 mm) Outer diameter: 48 mm Wall thickness: 2.5 mm

Material: Q235B

Function: With cast end caps welded to both ends and equipped with pin plates, these crossbars are designed to snap onto the discs on the uprights, allowing the frame to extend outward
