Quality

Quality at the start

Apple or Pear? Fittings are not equal to fittings! This sentence is particularly true for stainless steel pipe fittings, which must provide maximum reliability and minimum downtime in plant and machinery.

Schwer Fittings meet the high demands of the processing industry and provides solutions that respond optimally to the complex requirements. The products of the company are subject to stringent quality standards, from the examination of the raw material, to checks between the various stages of production, to final inspection. Quality is assured with advanced measuring equipment and methods adhering to internal production drawings. Thanks to our own assembly and final inspection the high quality standard of Schwer Fittings products is ensured.

The fittings have a decisive added value: they are permanent. Exceptionally high quality, high quality materials, careful manufacturing and not least the design, offered by Schwer Products.

Quality Management

  • Careful selection of suppliers
  • Ongoing audits at the supplier's premises
  • Inspection of the raw material before further processing
  • Centralised procurement and inspection of all forging blanks
  • Ongoing inspections during production on the machine
  • Additional final quality inspection during production
  • Surface treatments
  • Cleaning of parts, including oil and grease-free
  • Safe and dedicated transport from production to the main plant

 

  • Final quality inspection at the main plant
  • Test certificates in accordance with EN 10204-3.1
  • Test number: 100% traceability to the original material
  • Unique labelling through laser marking, including lasered test number
  • In-house product management, development and testing
  • Clean storage in shuttle systems, specially developed packaging
  • Customised packaging of parts (welding, foiling)
  • Technical data sheets and documentation

Lasered test number

Generally, all parts, that make contact with the media, are lasered with a test number. This number conceals a wealth of information. After many years, it’s still possible to match the mechanical tests to the original material and offer a 3.1 certificate.

This provides a customer advantage, as when a fitting is installed in a system that later needs to be inspected (TUV etc), if the number is provided to Schwer Fittings, then a 3.1 certificate can be provided.

Pressure tests

In our testing and training room, pressure tests and numerous practical tests are performed and logged. Dynamic Load change tests (impulse tests) simulate the different pressures that act on fittings and valves during application.

Using a video measuring system the smallest changes can be documented.
