Quality Policy
Mahalaxmi Steel Centre continually improves the effectiveness of the quality management system (QMS) and sets quality objectives and work plans. Moreover, Weare committed to upgrading the capabilities of its technical and administrative staff through formal training and continuous technical quality awareness.
We have achieved high quality through the professional competence of the personnel, high working motivation, and a service-minded attitude. Every single employee of Mahalaxmi Steel Centre is responsible for the quality of his/her work.
All our products are tested in accordance with internationally recognized standards or our own more stringent internal test procedures, which are developed considering the harsh field conditions. In addition to this, we also offer specific testing to our client’s requirements.
RAW MATERIAL TESTING
All the material used for the Manufacturing of fittings and other fabrication jobs is tested for chemical & mechanical properties. The Results are confirmed to meet the original material requirement before processing. We are using measuring equipment calibrated by Govt. approved calibration Agencies.
DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION
All types of Flanges and fittings are checked for dimensional accuracy from raw material stage to in-process & final product delivery by using calibrated measuring instruments.
MATERIAL TRACEABILITY
All the material used for the Manufacturing of fittings, valves, and other fabrication jobs are identified & fully traceable from raw material stage to the final product.
SOME SPECIAL TEST ON REQUEST OF CLINTS:-
PNEUMATIC/GAS TEST
ALL COMPRESSOR AND THREADED FITTINGS and valves are subjected to Pneumatic test at 150psi air pressure and 2000psi Nitrogen pressure. Pneumatic/Gas test is carried out after hydro testing and complete drying of the items following Hydro-Test.
Helium Gas Test (HG-TEST) can be offered on request.
PRESSURE CYCLE TEST
All fittings and valves are tested for pressure cycle test where pressure surges from Opsi to 5000psi. The test is conducted at the rate of 25 to 45 cycles per minute with the digital counter. The client can specify the number of cycles and conditions of the test.
TEMPERATURE TEST ON REQUEST
fittings and valves are heated to temperature up to 350oC for one complete cycle of 4 hours. After that valves are again subjected to Hydro, Pneumatic, and Pressure cyclic test for no leakage. All the above tests are certified by our own Quality control department and can be witnessed by the client or third-party inspection company of the client’s choice.
VIBRATION TEST
fittings and valves are tested for severe vibration under impulse pressure for no leakage
