Quality Assurance
In-Process & Outgoing QA Tests
Eight systematic checkpoints — from raw material receipt through to final despatch.
Surface Roughness
Ra / Rz profilometry per 3-A, ASME BPE and UHP specs — batch-recorded.
PMI (XRF Analysis)
Positive material identification for each heat number received.
EP Bath Chemistry
Cr/Fe oxide ratio, current density and temperature logged batch-wise.
Weld Inspection
Visual and bore-scope inspection of orbital welds against ASME BPE Annexe D.
Dimensional Check
OD, wall thickness and ID verified against applicable standard tolerances.
Hydrostatic / Leak
Pressure test to 1.5× rated pressure; helium leak test for UHP products.
MTR Traceability
Heat-number MTR, PMI, EC and test records compiled per order and dispatched.
Final QA Release
QA sign-off with documented surface data before packaging and despatch.
Traceability
Heat-to-Despatch Traceability
Every order is traceable from the raw material mill certificate to the final documentation pack.
Mill Certificate
Heat-number MTR received and verified against ordered grade and standard before material enters production.
PMI Verification
XRF analysis confirms alloy composition — recorded against heat number in the batch QA log.
In-Process QA
Ra / Rz, dimensional and weld checks at forming, welding and finishing stages — SPC data collected.
Surface Certification
Final profilometer reading certified against target spec (SF1 / SF4 / UHP). Cr/Fe ratio for EP parts.
Documentation Pack
Test certificate, MTR, PMI record, EC and inspection report compiled and shipped with every order.
