Quality control
At Drillsoltek, we deeply understand that there are no second chances in underground engineering. Therefore, every drill rod must undergo “devil testing” before leaving the factory. We are equipped with a full suite of precision instruments that meet the highest inspection standards to guard every line of defense for your safety:
- Destructive Physical Performance Testing: Uses the American industrial system MTS universal tensile testing machine and impact testing machine to accurately test ultimate tensile force and impact resistance, letting the robust data speak for itself.
- Microstructure and Material Analysis: Employs a metallographic microscope to deeply analyze the internal organizational structure of the material, and utilizes a Spectral Composition Analyzer to ensure the purity and precision of the alloy material.
- Multi-dimensional Hardness Measurement: Uses various types of Sclerometers to conduct strict hardness testing on key stressed areas, ensuring perfect consistency of the heat treatment effects.
- Comprehensive Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Possesses on-site ultrasonic NDT equipment and magnetic particle NDT equipment to achieve dead-angle-free coverage of pipe body ultrasonic testing and upsetting area ultrasonic testing, completely eliminating any internal hidden dangers.
- Precision Thread Inspection: Adopts a single parameter measurement instrument for threads to conduct micron-level re-measurements on processed threads, guaranteeing perfect engagement and superior sealing of the pin and box connections.
- Data-driven Full-process Traceability: Steel pipe furnace numbers, heat treatment furnace batches, and mechanical performance test results are fully traceable throughout the entire process, making quality visible.
