Applications
For continuous improvement, we rely on training, reduction of waste and
effective utilization of resources.
Quality Assurance & Control DI Pipes
RAW MATERIAL
» Test certificates along with supply of repeated supplier
» Internal checking of composition as per QAP
INDUCTION FURNACE
» Weighing balance for raw material charging
» Immersion pyrometer for temperature checking
» Chemical Analysis from lab / spectrometer
LADLE TREATMENT / CONVERTER FOR "Mg" TREATMENT
» Temperature check by immersion pyrormeters
» Treatment checking for residual Mg at CCM
» Final sample for elements including residual Mg, nodule count, nodule
distribution in as cast pipe
CASTING MACHINE
» Identification of chemical composition of last pipe produced and its
structure
» Disposal of metal after the limit of fading effect
» Ensure that liquid metal is free from slag
» To control the temperature loss at hopper, ceramic blanket covered
» Machine parameters like RPM, machine downspeed, hopper speed
controlled
» Addition of innoculants
» Application of Graphite wash for easy flow of liquid metal through the
runner
» Core loader strength and spring compression check
» Load cell to measure the weight of each pipe and adjustment of wall
thickness of pipe
GANTRY BEFORE ANNEALING FURNACE
» Check the thickness by pistol caliper
» Remove all sand from socket area before feeding in to the annealing
furnace
» Visual inspection for other parameters

» Check the inner diameter after lining
CEMENT CURING
» Visual inspection after curing and clean lining surface if required
BITUMEN COATING
» Check and control machine parameters like trolley speed, RPM of pipe,
air pressure and power supply
» Check the mass of the bitumen deposition on the pipe
» Check the coating thickness
FINAL INSPECTION & MARKING OF PIPES
» By stencils
