Quality testing
Quality is checked at each stage of the sale, not only on a certificate on the wall.
In-process
Length, gauge and straightness are checked on the line, not only at the gate.
Finished goods
Bars, sheet, mesh and pipe are inspected again before they are tagged for the yard.
Tanks and fittings
Capacity, seams and fittings are checked against the size on the label before dispatch.
