Quality

Our fully calibrated mechanical testing centre ensures that parts are manufactured and heat-treated to the highest quality. This is linked to our production control system for certification and traceability. All certification demanded by the customer order is held and can be reprinted as required. Third party witness of testing by Lloyds, DNV, ABS, or other inspection authority, can be arranged as part of the test programme.

Our In-House measurement and test capabilities include:

		Tensile Strength
		Proof Load & Elongation
		Compressive cone strip test
		Impact Load
		Rockwell & Brinell Hardness
		Thread Functional Diameter
		Thread Major Diameter
		System 22
		Socket Depth
		Radii and Angles

Our manufacturing has a quality-audited system to ISO 9001:2000 Cert FM 121 - EiFi Reg E1014. Traceability is applied from raw material through forging, machining, thread rolling, heat treatment and testing to the batch number which appears on all products leaving our works. Unique stamping of product can also be accommodated using our micro percussion marking system.

Dimensional and physical control is systematically applied in our inspection department and mechanical testing centre. All equipment and Gauges are Calibrated and Traceable to Namas Standard (UKAS)

Our product head markings are registered with the EiFi, European Industrial Fastener Institute, US FQA and the US Defense Supply Centre Philadelphia (DSCP).

Our experienced technical staff will be pleased to supply information on, dimensional, metallurgical or other technical assistance that may be required.
