Unsurpassed Quality Assurance throughout All Phases of Manufacturing
  • In House Chemical/Physical Analysis NADCAP Certified
  • In House Liquid Penetrant Inspection NADCAP Certified
  • In House X-Ray Inspection NADCAP Certified
  • Quality System in accordance with AS9100
  • Gage and Lab Control in accordance with AMS STD-45662 and ISO 10012-1
  • Advanced Quality System (AQS) Management Plan
  • Continuous Total Quality Management through Statistical Process Control (SPC)
   




We establish Quality Control procedures during the first article sample production stage and this forms the basis for inspection procedures at raw inspection, intermediate inspection and final inspection.
   

Tolerance Specifications
Tolerance specifications should take into
consideration the following items:
     
  Linear Tolerances*
     
   
Dimensions
Normal
Premium
Up to 1/4" ± .005" ± .003"
Up to 1" ± .008" ± .005"
Up to 2" ± .010" ± .008"
Up to 3" ± .012" ± .010"
Up to 4" ± .013" ± .011"
Up to 5" ± .015" ± .013"
Up to 6" ± .016" ± .014"
Up to 7" ± .018" ± .016"
Up to 8" ± .020" ± .017"
Up to 9" ± .022" ± .018"
Up to 10" ± .024" ± .019"
Maximum variation ± .025"


*An exception to the standard linear tolerance exists on some wall thicknesses. The tolerance must be a minimum of ± .010".
     
  Flatness and straightness. Tolerances for flatness and straightness are .003" to .005" T.I.R per linear inch and depend on alloy and casting configuration
     
  Angles: Angular tolerances should be specified ± 1/2° maximum
     
  Concentricity
     
  Perpendicularity
     
  Parallelism
     
  Radii and fillets
     
  Roundness
     
  Threads
     
  Minimum section thickness .040”
     
  Surface Texture 90-125 RMS
