Quality assurance during induction bending of line pipe is critical to ensure the reliability of the final product. ITI can witness qualification bending and critical procedures during production in order to ensure that the approved bending procedure is followed on the entire production run. ITI is familiar with all of the major induction bending facilities in the United States and can assist in pre-qualification of those vendors. ITI has the expertise to specify the best heats for use in induction bending and can specify chemical compositions most suited for your project. Our inspections for induction bending include:

-Witness induction bend and qualification procedure
-Witness and verify qualification mechanical testing results
-Monitor production bending to ensure adherence to approved manufacturing procedure
-Witness dimensional verifications
-Verify tagging and marking
