Construction Of A Steel Cupboard

The aim of this project was to construct a steel cupboard in order to help us acquire the knowledge of fabrication of a modern cupboard and the essence of it. Also to enable us (the students of chemical Engineering) to know how to construct as future engineers.
The construction of steel cupboard was done using a square pipe of 1.5mm thickness and the mild steel having a thickness of 1.5mm. it was mark out cut, welded, filled and painted. The cupboard has length and height of 1150mm and 1160mm and dept 400mm. A grade of 12 electrode was used for the welding process.
The material used was locally sourced and selected to suit the desired purpose. Mild steel was used due to it’s cost and it’s corrosion free nature. No problem was encounter as regard the construction work. As a result of the quality of the material and it’s properties, a guarantee of ten years is given to the construction work. Advantage of steel cupboard as in preserving and securing of laboratory chemicals and equipment, keeping of document in offices out ways it’s disadvantage. The cost of production of the steel cupboard was fifteen thousand naira.
