Inspection, dimensional verification, NDT, gauging, and final inspection are performed using controlled procedures and calibrated equipment to ensure product conformity and complete traceability.
Pipes and couplings are checked against mill certificates for grade, size, heat number and traceability, and visually inspected for damage or defects.
