What is the difference between on-site and shop fabrication?

Shop Fabrication: Piping is fabricated in a controlled environment with access to advanced machinery and tools. It ensures higher precision and quality. On-Site Fabrication: Pipes are fabricated at the installation location, typically for large or complex projects where transportation is challenging.

What documentation is provided upon project completion?

Standard documentation includes: Material Test Reports (MTRs) Weld logs and maps Inspection and test records Pressure testing certificates Compliance certificates (e.g., ASME, API)

How long does piping fabrication typically take?

Project timelines vary based on complexity, material availability, and the scope of work. Simple systems may take a few weeks, while large, intricate systems can take months.

How is pipe welding quality ensured?

Welding quality is assured through: Certified welders using approved welding procedures (WPS). Visual inspections and advanced NDT methods to detect defects. Adherence to welding standards like ASME Section IX or ISO 15614.

What surface treatments are available for fabricated pipes?

Surface treatments improve the durability and performance of piping systems. Options include: • Galvanizing • Epoxy or polyurethane coating • Sandblasting and painting

What is Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), and why is it important?

NDT is a testing method to evaluate the integrity of materials and welds without causing damage. It ensures the reliability of the piping system and includes methods like ultrasonic testing, radiography, and dye penetrant testing.
