Quality Control: Verification of Parts and Assemblies

SEFA’s Quality Control System includes verifying parts and assemblies on customer projects. The process is vital to ensure the accuracy of parts and assemblies, which is as much about the paperwork as the parts, both of which are tracked and documented throughout a project to make sure customer designs and specifications match final construction.

Fabrication as a Source for Replacement Parts

With recent breakdowns in supply chains, the job of finding replacement parts for equipment has become challenging. No longer stocked “on the shelf” and shipped in days, parts can be more expensive and can take weeks or months to arrive. Consider working with a fabricator who has the material knowledge and in-house design expertise to design and produce your ideal replacement parts, resulting in meaningful value for your operations.

Titanium Welds: Making a Process to go with the Procedure

Welding unusual and expensive materials can create a bit of anxiety. Yes, a welding procedure provides consistent parameters to follow. In the case of hard to weld materials, the welding process—from cutting to beveling to cleaning to weld passes—and how to evaluate the work is equally if not more important. Here’s how we prepared for a recent titanium welding project: 4 weeks to make 400 welds to 900 feet of pipe.
