Quality & Inspection
Documented inspection from material receipt through final release for FRP tanks, vessels, ducts, dampers and process equipment.
Inspection built into the work
Crimar uses project-specific Inspection & Test Plans, controlled inspection points and documented release records to verify the equipment before it leaves the shop. The quality file is built as fabrication progresses, not assembled after the fact.
For FRP work, inspection focuses on laminate thickness, cure, hardness, dimensions, nozzle location, surface condition, pressure or leak testing where required, and packing condition prior to shipment.
Quality controls by stage
Before fabrication
- Approved Inspection & Test Plan
- Applicable standards and project specifications
- Material and resin traceability controls
- Calibrated inspection and test equipment
During fabrication
- In-process visual inspection
- Laminate thickness verification
- Dimensional and nozzle-location checks
- Barcol hardness and acetone cure checks
Before release
- Final visual and dimensional inspection
- Pressure or leak testing when required
- Packing and shipment verification
- Release certificate and final data book
Documentation package
Each project can be supplied with a controlled quality package appropriate to the scope, inspection level and customer requirements. Typical records include:
- Quality release certificate
- Inspection & Test Plan records
- Material and resin traceability
- Thickness inspection reports
- Barcol hardness reports
- Acetone cure check reports
- Dimensional and nozzle-location records
- Visual inspection reports
- Pressure or leak test reports
- Packing and shipment records
Standards and oversight
Crimar works under ISO 9001 quality systems and applies the relevant fabrication standards, including ASME RTP-1 and ASTM FRP vessel practices where applicable. Client-appointed or independent inspectors can participate at agreed hold and witness points.
