Quality
Inspection and documentation
Every weld is looked at and every structure is measured before it leaves. What is recorded, and which records travel with the delivery, is fixed by the certified system and by what the order asks for.
Inspection
Every weld is visually inspected to EN ISO 17637 against the quality level of EN ISO 5817 the drawing or EXC2 requires, before painting hides it. Supplementary non-destructive testing beyond visual, ultrasonic, magnetic particle or penetrant, is performed to the extent the drawing or EN 1090-2 requires and on request beyond that.
Dimensions are checked against the drawing with a six-axis FARO Arm Prime 10 measuring arm, to the tolerances of EN ISO 13920 or the tighter ones the drawing states. Machined faces are measured after machining, not before.
Non-destructive testing beyond visual
Visual testing to EN ISO 17637 is standard on every weld. Ultrasonic, magnetic particle and penetrant testing are performed to the extent the drawing or EN 1090-2 requires for the execution class and the joint, and arranged on request beyond that. The scope of supplementary NDT, the standard it is performed to and who performs it are agreed at drawing review and written into the order.
What ships with the work
Under EN ISO 3834-2 the welding documents exist for every order. Which of them travel with the delivery depends on what the order asks for; this is the default split.
| Document | Standard | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Welding procedure specifications (WPS) | EN ISO 15609-1 | Standard |
| Welding procedure qualification records (WPQR) | EN ISO 15614-1 | Standard |
| Welder qualification certificates | EN ISO 9606-1 | Standard |
| Visual weld inspection record | EN ISO 17637, EN ISO 5817 | Standard |
| Dimensional inspection report | EN ISO 13920, FARO arm report | Standard |
| Material certificates 3.1 | EN 10204 3.1 | On request |
| Supplementary NDT beyond visual (UT, MT, PT) | UT, MT, PT | On request |
| Coating thickness report | coating thickness report | On request |
A declaration of performance under EN 1090-1 is not offered on this site: the parent company publishes no EN 1090-1 factory production control certificate. Work is executed to EN 1090-2, execution class EXC2, under the certified EN ISO 3834-2 system.
