Stainless Steel Materials
As part of Rico's comprehensive Quality Control program, there have been targeted investments in the equipments and machines to ensure Stainless Steel Welded Pipes & Tube orders are duly fulfilled.
Rico has a dedicated team that takes care of rigorous quality management from placing the order to the receipt right through the shipping, hence, the entire process control is implemented systematically. Optical devices and analog measuring instruments like caliper, alloy analyzer and other gauges are used for the inspection. Both the heat number & lot controls are noted to ensure the total traceability. Additionally, Positive-Material-Identification (PMI) is tested on all Stainless Steel materials after receiving and before leaving the warehouse to ensure no material mix has occurred.

TENSILE TEST
determines the peak stress, yield strength, elongation and the ductility under the stress
FLATTENING TEST

FLATTENING TEST
To understand the plastic deformation capacity of Stainless STeel seamless tubes in different conditions, flattening test is conducted.
SURFACE FINISH TESTS

SURFACE FINISH TESTS
To measure deviations in the surface texture of SS Tubes, a profilometer is used that has a diamond-tipped stylus which reacts with the variations on the surface texture.
PMI TEST

PMI TEST
PMI helps with the signs of material mix which possibly be bars or components that differ in size or color.
BEND TEST

BEND TEST
Bending makes it visually easy to recognise discontinuities, hence, the stainless steel tubes are put under load and inspected for the same.
