Notes
Co-related original material test certificate is acceptable. In absence of co-related original material test certificate, sample per lot (lot means, all material having same heat mark / material specification
1 requirements) for chemical and physical test shall be drawn and witnessed by NPCIL QS or his Authorized Representative ( Purchaser). Manufacturer shall submit all material verification reports as per
material specification to NPCIL-QS or his Authorized Representative ( Purchaser) for checking / verification and clearance. 100% by Manufacturer, Random witness for co relation by NPCIL
2 All Test reports, Test Certificates and Inspection reports shall be reviewed by Manufacturer before submitting the same for verification by NPCIL.
3 Chemical and mechanical tests on the material shall be performed in suppliers laboratory which shall be approved laboratory by NPCIL orany otherNPCIL approved Labs..
4 Calibrated instruments shall be used during inspection, examination and testing.
5 Non-destructive examinations shall be carried out by personnel qualified to Level – I and evaluated by Level II of ISNT or ASNT.
6 Quantity tolerance shall be +1/- 0 Random Length shall be allowed .
7 Dimension measurement will done at both Ends only. Wall Thickness measurment at repaired areas shall be checked by Ultrasonic Meter.
8 Heat treatment furnace shall be in good condition and shall have temperature recorder and checked for calibration by NPCIL. The validity of calibration shall not be more than 6 months.
