Quality control built around the purchase specification

Inspection requirements are agreed before production, then recorded at the relevant process stages.

Suggested inspection checkpoints

Contract review	Drawing, grade, dimensions, standard, quantity and documentation
Incoming material	Material identification and available supplier documentation
In process	Critical dimensions, thread profile, forming and surface condition
Final inspection	Appearance, dimensions, marking, quantity and packing
Shipment file	Agreed inspection and packing records

Documents to request

Tell us whether your order requires a material test certificate, dimensional report, coating requirement, sample approval, third-party inspection or packing photos. Availability and cost should be confirmed in the quotation.

Inspection planning for made-to-specification fittings

Quality requirements are most useful when they are defined before quotation. Buyers should identify critical dimensions, thread acceptance, surface condition, marking, packing and the records required for project review.

Incoming information

Approved material grade, drawing revision and applicable standard form the inspection basis.

Process checkpoints

Checks can be assigned to machining datums, thread geometry, overall dimensions and visible surface condition.

Release records

Agree the required dimensional report, material document, photographs, marking and packing confirmation before production.
