Manufacture Process of Orifice Fittings

1 Design or reverse engineering（you bring the sample to ask for massive production）
2 Molding (e.g 5% of the mold companies in China can be considered as our suppliers due to
some critical features are very difficult, such as the feature A).
2.1 Mother mold(Aluminum)
2.2 Waxes pattern
3 Casting (e.g 2% of the casting companies in China can be considered as
our suppliers, the others don't have the technology to handle the
molten steel with less fluidity.)
3.1 Investment casting or precision casting or lost-wax casting
3.1.1 Chemical composition(spectral analysis),
3.1.2 Dimension Waxes pattern
3.1.3 Visual inspection – MSS SP 55
3.2 Heat treatment – (many manufacturers don’t even do this step)
3.3 Quality control
3.3.1 Mechanical property(Tensile Test& impact test)
3.3.2 Dimension
3.3.3 Surface defect
3.3.3.1 According to ANSI MSS SP 55.Visual Inspection for
casting surface defect such as gas porosity, hot tears,
cracks, shrink, sand inclusions, veining,
3.3.3.2 E 165 Test Method for Liquid Penetrant Examination if
necessary
3.3.3.3 E 709 Guide for Magnetic Particle Examination if
necessary
3.3.4 Inner defect
3.3.4.1 Nondestructive testing
3.3.4.1.1 RADIOGRAPHY PROCEDURE ASTM E94
3.3.4.1.2 Ultrasonic examination ASTM A609
Nondestructive testing result
3.3.4.2 Destructive test
3.3.4.2.1 Destructive test for the crucial area of the part
4 Machining
5 Hydraulic testing – API 598
6 Inner defect(NDT) if necessary
6.1 RADIOGRAPHY PROCEDURE ASTM E94
6.2 Ultrasonic examination (ASTM A609)
7 Inner defect (DT) if necessary
7.1 Destructive test for the crucial area of the part
