Quality Assurance

Akash Steel crafts implements strict quality control procedures and post production metallurgical / mechanical tests to ensure that your stainless steel tubes & pipes are met with your requirements. Quality check methodology implemented at Akash Steel Crafts covers all production stages right from raw materials, designing, production, till the final product is ready for dispatch.

The elements of the Quality check System correspond to the requirements of National and International codes, as well as customer’s own Quality Assurance requirements. All tests are carried out by trained and experienced quality personnel who can manipulate the relevant Inspection and Testing Machines in compliance with the set of strict guidelines. For every order, an individual Quality Assurance Programme is prepared and prior approval is obtained from the clients.

Chemical Analysis

We carry out a full chemical testing of tubes and pipes as per the ASTM standards and required quality standards.

Testing

Each product of our range is tested as per the internationally accepted standards using various reliable test procedures, testing machines and experiment/measuring equipment for destructive and non-destructive testing. In addition, we also conduct specific testing as per the client’s requirement.

Depending on the intended application and technical delivery conditions or customer’s specifications, a variety of specific tests can be carried out to ensure that highest quality standards are maintained. We ensure that our raw materials are supplied from trusted vendors and our products are offered after approval of renowned experts and inspection agencies/consultants.

Visual Inspection

All products at Akash Steel Crafts are subjected to 100% visual inspection for surface finish, dimensions, check on edges and length. Every single length of tubes & pipes is subjected to thorough visual inspection by trained staff for detecting surface flaws & other imperfections and this test ensures the straightness of tubes as per the ASTM standards.

Mechanical Testing

Mechanical testing is conducted for tensile strength, flaring, flanging, flattening, reverse bend and hardness.

Hardness Test

Hardness test is used in Rockwell ‘B’ scale for raw material / tube/ pipe.

Universal Testing Machine

Universal Testing Machine is used for tensile strength / elongation and other mechanical testing.

Hydrostatic Testing

We conduct 100% Hydrostatic Testing using a high pressure pump for checking leakage on all pumps and pipes according to ASTM-A 450 norms.

Supplementary Testing

Supplementary Testing on Manufactured Products as per the requirement or Client’s request. Chemical & Physical testing Radiography Testing Micro Testing Macro Testing Bending Test IGC Testing Ultrasonic testing Liquid Penetrate test Impact Test
