Viewers no one, even a Metallurgist, can confirm the Properties of any Material by just having a look on
that. In order to confirm the Properties of the Material we have to go through an exercise that is called
Review of MTC (Mill Test Certificate or MTR Mill Test Report).

Now to perform this Reviewing Exercise it is necessary to become familiar with the MTC.

What is MTC?
Viewers MTC is a Document that is generated by the Product Manufacturers or Steel Mills for its
Purchasers. This document Declares Specific Information in accordance with the sole or the combination
of forth coming Documents

1. Product Specification Like SA 516 Grade 70

2. Supplementary Requirements by the Construction Code.

3. Ordering Information or Purchase Order and lastly

4. Quality Control System of the Product Manufacturer or Steel Mill

Viewers Some of these Specific Information are highlighted here

1. Name of Manufacturer like ABC Steel Mill

2. Type of MTC. Please see Details of BS EN 10204 on Internet or other source of information.

3. Material Specification of the Product Like ASTM or SA 106 Grade B with Year & Date

4. Size & Thickness of the Product

5. Lot / Heat Number of the Product

6. Chemical Test Results of the Product or the Chemical Composition of the Product

7. Mechanical Test Results of the Product

8. Supplementary Requirements by the Construction Code. Viewers please do not mix the Requirements
of Manufacturing Code & Construction Code together. SA 516 Grade 70 is a Manufacturing Code of Plate
whereas ASME VIII is a Construction Code for Vessel Fabrication similarly SA 106 Grade B is
Manufacturing Code for Pipe & ASME B31.3 is one of the Construction Codes for Piping Fabrication

9. Heat Treatment in Detail

10. Elongation in Detail

11. V-Notch Toughness Test in Detail and Lastly

12. Validation of the Product by the Product Manufacturer’s Authorized Inspector in accordance with
the Type of MTC. Viewers please do not forget to study BS EN 10204 for different Types of MTCs & their
Validation.
How to Review the MTC?
Viewers please keep in your mind that Reviewing Process becomes to completion when some
Prerequisites are met. Purchase Order or Other Ordering Info & the Latest Version of Product
Specification are the Prerequisites that should be available with you while reviewing the given MTC.

Viewers during the Review of MTC you will have to ensure

1. Reflection of Ordering Information in Purchase Order from MTC

2. Type of MTC

3. Product Specification written on the MTC

4. Size & Thickness of the Product

5. Acceptable Comparison of Chemical & Mechanical Tests Results of MTC & Product Specification

6. Test Values are not Edited or Altered

7. Traceability of Heat Number on the Product & on the MTC as well

8. Verification of Marking in compliant with Product Specification. Viewers this Verification of Marking is
very Important Exercise. And Lastly

9. Signing Off the MTC by putting Signatures, Name, Designation, Date, Stamp & Product Specification
with Year-Date against which the MTC is Reviewed.
