Welding to documented procedures
Our welding procedures and welders are qualified to AWS D1.1, with testing by an independent laboratory. Procedures are documented with a welding procedure specification (WPS) and a procedure qualification record (PQR).

Inspected,
then documented.
Dedicated quality staff document in-process and final inspections. Most testing happens in-house.
| Method | What it reveals | Suited to | Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| VT Visual testing | Visible surface discontinuities and weld appearance | All materials | In-house |
| MT Magnetic particle testing | Surface and near-surface discontinuities | Ferromagnetic steels | External laboratory |
| PT Penetrant testing | Discontinuities open to the surface | Non-porous materials, including stainless steel and aluminum | In-house |
| UT Ultrasonic testing | Internal discontinuities, without damaging the part | Steel and other sound-conducting materials | In-house |
| RT Radiographic testing | Internal discontinuities, recorded on film | Steel and other metals | External laboratory |
Tensile and fracture tests are carried out by an external laboratory. Send your inspection requirements with your RFQ.
