Product Inspection

1. Chemical Composition Inspection

Chemical composition inspection is performed by reviewing the raw material mill certificate and, where required, laboratory analysis to confirm conformity with the specified Inconel grade. Key alloying elements such as nickel, chromium, molybdenum and niobium are checked against the applicable standard to ensure corrosion resistance, heat resistance and correct material identity before production starts.

2. Mechanical Properties Testing

Mechanical testing verifies that the forged alloy meets the required tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness values for the selected grade and heat treatment condition. These tests help confirm that the threaded flange can withstand installation loads, internal pressure and temperature fluctuations encountered in demanding process piping and pressure service.

3. Dimensional Inspection

Dimensional inspection covers outside diameter, thickness, hub profile where applicable, bore size, thread accuracy, bolt hole circle, bolt hole diameter and sealing face finish. SASA FLANGE also checks raised face or RTJ geometry to ensure proper gasket seating and compatibility with mating flanges according to ASME, EN, DIN, JIS or GB drawings.

4. PMI Testing and Hydrostatic Testing

PMI testing is carried out to positively identify the nickel alloy grade and prevent material mix-up in critical applications. Hydrostatic testing can be arranged as part of assembled piping or special project requirements. EN 10204 3.1 certificate, heat number traceability, dimensional reports and inspection records are supplied to support quality assurance and project documentation.
