Sanitary valve dimensional inspection, before anything is packed
Sanitary valve dimensional inspection is the last thing between a finished part and the crate. A valve that will not meet the ferrule on your line is scrap, however good the steel was. Size, roundness and straightness are measured against your drawing.
Instrument
Vernier and dial calipers
How often
First article, then 10% of the run
What you get
A first-article report before the run
How sanitary valve dimensional inspection is done
What the check is there to find, what is actually done with the instrument, and what leaves the factory with the goods.
What it catches
- Bores and connections outside tolerance, which show up as a clamp that will not seal.
- Out-of-round ends on tube and fittings, from forming or handling.
- Bent or twisted assemblies that will not line up on a rack.
How it is run
- Vernier and dial calipers for size and roundness; a horizontal and vertical scale for straightness.
- Two samples of any new part are measured against your drawing before bulk production. The report goes to you first.
- At least 10% of a finished quantity is measured again before packing.
What you get
- The first-article report for a new part is sent before the run starts.
- Measurements on a finished order are available on request.
Measured against
- ASME BPE(opens in a new tab) The dimensional standard hygienic fittings and their clamp connections are built to. Where your drawing names it, it is what we measure against.
Questions about dimensions
Will you check a new part against my drawing?
How much of a finished order is measured?
What is in a first-article report?
Do you check straightness as well as size?
What happens to a part outside tolerance?
Is the quantity checked too?
