Quality assurance during the steelmaking process can ensure that the coils and plate possess the properties needed to make high quality line pipe. Problems with centerline segregation in plate and coil can cause pipe integrity problems and difficulties for field welding. Testing of plate and coil must be monitored to ensure that the raw material for your line pipe order is fit for purpose. Our inspections for steel making include:

-monitoring of casting variables such as superheat and casting speed
-witnessing of macro-etch preparation and evaluation
-witnessing of mechanical testing
-dimensional verification
-review of chemistry and properties
