1 OBJECTIVE : To maintain the procedure of straightness Testing of Tube

2 SCOPE : To cover CDT TUBE

3 RESPONSIBILITY : Quality Assurance.

Sr. No. ACTIVITY DOC No. RESP.

1 Check the straightness of the tube at the time of machine set up approval QF/QA/CD/03 QA SUPERVISOR

2 After machine set up approval, check the straightness after every two hrs. QA CHECKER

3 Straightness testing procedure - QA CHECKER

3.1 Select the randam sample of 600 mm length from centre of length of tube - QA CHECKER

3.2 Deburing the ends of tube or remove the burs from ends by emery paper - QA CHECKER

3.3 The total tolerance (maximum curvature )of any point in total length of - QA CHECKER
tube is determined by rolling the tube on surface plate and measuring
the curvature with feeler gauge

3.4 Take three readings of curvature deviation with feeler gauge at zero degree - QA CHECKER
o
and three readings at 90 rotation of tube on surface plate
1 st reading - at 10 mm from one end
2 nd reading - at 10 mm from 2nd end
3 rd reading - at centre of tube

3.5 Record the maximum value of six reading taken for curvature deviation in QF/QA/CD/03 QA CHECKER
tube inspection report

4 Acceptance Criteria - QA SUPERVISOR

Tubes shall not deviate from straightness by more then 1/600 of any length
measured at the centre of that length ( IS 3074 : 2005) - QA CHECKER

4.1 Required accuracy criteria for surface plate. QF/QA/08 QA CHECKER

flatness daviation for grade 0 surface plate = 3.5 microns
Calibration error (as per calibarion certificate) = 9.3 microns (say )
Observed value after verification of calibration error.
Observed value450 (say) +3.5 +9.5 = 463 microns

4.2 Accept the lot of observed deviation less than =1 mm (1000 microns) - QA CHECKER

5 Monitor data recorded in tube inspection report and tube inspection report QF/QA/CD/03 QA SUPERVISOR
to be signed

6 Ensure callibration of feeler guage and surface plate QA SUPERVISOR
