Documentation is not an add-on. Every order leaves with a mill test report that matches the material in the box, traceable to a heat number.
The documentation issued with your order depends on what the contract requires and what the application demands.
| Documentation | What it confirms | When issued |
|---|---|---|
| Mill test report | Chemical composition and mechanical properties as determined by the mill | Standard with every order |
| Independent inspection release | Mill test report confirmed by an independent inspection house | On request or where the contract requires it |
| Specific inspection | Inspection at a defined frequency against the contract specification | On agreement |
| NDT and PMI | Surface and internal defect assessment, positive material identification | On application-critical parts |
Each consignment is linked to a heat number. That heat number follows the material from the mill report through cutting, forming, heat treatment and machining to the finished part, and it appears on the report and on the despatch paperwork.
We work with the inspection house your customer nominates — SGS, BV, TUV, Lloyd's, Intertek or a customer-appointed inspector. Release before shipment can be arranged; the cost and the timing are agreed in the order.
Every order is supplied with a mill test report covering the actual heat analysis, including the grade designation, the heat number and the chemical composition. Independent inspection release is available where the contract or the end customer requires independent verification.
Yes. We accept SGS, BV, TUV, Lloyd's and customer appointed inspection. The inspection release can be arranged before shipment, and the report is issued against the release document.
For gas turbine components we work from the OEM part number and the drawing. We confirm material equivalence, supply the certificate and record the part number on the documentation, so the part is traceable in the same way as the original.
Where the application falls under the Pressure Equipment Directive, PED documentation is prepared as part of the order. State the PED category and the harmonised standard on your enquiry.
