The invention provides a steel structure
residual stress measuring instrument and a using method thereof. The
measuring instrument comprises a fixed measuring conical head, a sliding measuring conicalhead, a
metal support, a dial indicator, a clamping support and a buffer
spring system; the clamping support, the fixed measuring conical head and the buffer
spring system are all fixed to the metalsupport, the dial indicator is laterally placed on the
metal support, and the thickness of a dial plate is close to or equal to the width of the
metal support. The sliding measuring conical head can freely slide in the measuring head sliding hole of the metal support, the left end of the sliding measuring conical head is connected with the measuring rod end of the dial indicator, and the right endof the sliding measuring conical head abuts against the buffer
spring system. The
measuring instrument is further provided with a standard hole distance ruler and a
temperature correction ruler whichare the same in structure and size, the standard hole distance ruler serves as a reference ruler, and the
temperature correction ruler is used for correcting the influence of temperature change on the to-be-measured
small hole distance. The measuring instrument is simple in structure, and can accurately measure the
residual stress near the joint of the plates; the measuring
restoring force is small, the measuring conical head cannot deviate from the center of the measuring hole, and the measuring precision is not affected.
