Quality & Process Control
The quality you receive in Saudi Cast "FLODRAIN " products is a result of a rigid control and attention on each step of the manufacturing process. Strict
adherence to process standards assures consistent quality, which is
considered to be very important to specifiers and owners.
As part of the "Quality & Process Control, the following test and inspection
points are implemented.
- Thermal Analysis - Temperature of the metal throughout the melting
cycle is checked. Also at this stage the Carbon & Silicon content is determined which will affect the strength of the material. The degree of nodularity is also determined
- Spectrographic Analysis - Chemical analysis of the metal in the solid
state is carried out to determine the exact percentage of all elements.
This is conducted throughout the melting cycle using an Optical Emission Spectrograph.
- Metallographic Examination - Determines the microstructure of the cast sample. This is done using a metallurgical microscope.
- Mechanical Tests - Tensile testing of separate cast bars are assessed
and compared to applicable standards.
- Visual Inspection - All castings are inspected visually by our Quality
Control Staff prior to dispatch.
As a final check and considered to be the most critical part of the whole
process is to assess the drain top's load bearing capacity. Tests are
conducted using a Compression Test Machine. All results are based on
item's applicable standard.
All above tests are done in-house or from a third party inspection facility on request.
