Technical Specification
1. Main Purpose of Plate Roll Bending Machine
The propellant tanks of KSLV-II 1
st stage are composed of LOX and fuel tank. Al2219-T87 is used for
the cylindrical parts of the tanks. LOX tank has 5 sections of cylindrical part while fuel tank has 3
sections. Each section is completed by welding 2 half cylinders which are separately roll-bended to 180
o.
Fig.1 shows an example of isogrid machined plate. Fig.2 shows the welded cylinder configuration after
roll bending and trimming.
The main purpose of plate roll bending machine to be purchased is to bend isogrid machined plate to half
cylinder which has a precisely controlled tolerance in thickness and shape.

Statement of Work
1. Inspection of Roll Bending Machine
(1) It is required to have two types of the inspections on the roll bending machine, being composed of the
factory inspection (pre-acceptance test) at Contractor’s site and the final inspection after the
installation (the final acceptance test) in Korea.
(2) After completion of manufacturing, the trial operation should be followed through the pre-acceptance
test. The Contractor should demonstrate (under KARI’s attendance) that some plates could be bended
in accordance with KARI’s requirement for shape and dimension tolerance. The shape and dimension
would be evaluated in terms of the vertical straightness of roll bended plates and circumferential
curvature, respectively. The quantity of plates for acceptance test will be minimum five (5) for each
acceptance test. The requirement is as follows;
- Supplied plate dimension : 2000(W)ⅹ7000(L)ⅹ15(T) mm
- After bending to half cylinder with 1750mm in radius and 180
o in angle
(a) straightness in width direction (the maximum allowed barreling amount) : 1.0mm
(b) diameter tolerance : 3500 +/- 1.0mm
(3) After the installation of plate roll bending machine at the designated site by KARI, the Contractor
should carry out a final acceptance test with isogrid machined plates in its real size. From this test, the
Contractor should not only prove that the roll bending has been carried out properly but also that there
is no problem on the ways of dis-assembly, transportation, and re-assembly. That is, through two
acceptance test, the Contractor should demonstrate that the performance of plate roll bending machine
according to KARI's requirements is satisfied, and that the installation in Korea is successful.
(4) Isogrid machined plates or simple plates for the acceptance tests including training will be supplied by
KARI.
2. Consultation of Design Specifications and Inspection after Manufacturing Completion
(1) The Contractor (equipment manufacturer) should have a preliminary meeting for design review with
KARI before fixing the manufacturing schedule.
(2) If design change in the middle of manufacturing is required, the change is allowed after KARI’s
permission.
(3) The Contractor should take the pre-acceptance and the final acceptance according to the Section 1.
“Inspection of Roll Bending Machine”.
3. Quality Warranty
The Contractor should carry out all items described in the master plan for quality warranty of the proposal
in order to guarantee the quality of the manufactured equipment.
4. Training
During pre or final acceptance test, the Contractor should carry out training for operator(s) who is(are)
going to be designated by KARI.

in whole or in part, without the express prior written approval of KARI.
5. Delivery and Installation
KARI will designate a place for the domestic installation. After completing the domestic installation by
Contractor, the Contractor shall perform the test working of plate roll bending machine (final acceotabce
test) with KARI’s presence and demonstrate to KARI that there is no problem on the plate roll bending
machine.
6. Documents for Submission in Delivery
The following documents written in English should be submitted when the plate roll bending machine is
delivered.
(1) Two (2) hardcopies of final machine construction drawings
(2) Two (2) hardcopies of facility drawings related with the installation of the equipment
(3) Two (2) hardcopies of detailed manual for operation
(4) Two (2) hardcopies of detailed manual for maintenance
(5) If equipped, two (2) hardcopies of user's detailed manual of the design software.
(6) List of spare parts and suppliers
7. Exclusion
KARI is responsible for the following works;
(1) Foundation work and foundation bolts/covers;
(2) Lifting equipment for offloading and assembly at the place designate by KARI;
(3) Initial filling of hydraulic oil;
(4) Barriers in accordance with factory/country safety standards;
