Quality Control and Analysis
Surface Roughness Tester ensures our sanitary fittings meet industry requirement. In this example, Ra=14.1 micro-inch, exceeding the 3A requirement of 32 micro-inch. We have invested over $40,000 in laboratory equipment for QC/QA of sanitary valves and fittings. |
St. Pat's X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzer identifies composition of stainless steel. We test bulk stainless before production, components during production, and all shipments of valves, fittings, tanks, and other stainless steel items to verify quality of the stainless. The display indicates this tee has 8.19% Ni, 18.58% Cr, ... and the software identifies the material as 304 S/S in a mere 6.4 seconds. This portable XRF analyzer, the Niton XL3t, is $35,000. |
