Spectral Analysis
Each batch of steel (A105 / A182 / A350) is tested using a spectrometer to confirm chemical composition meets ASTM and ASME requirements.
Precision verified, from the inside out.
BAFAW conducts comprehensive testing of material mechanical strength and chemical composition to ensure consistent quality under demanding operating conditions.

Chemical Composition Analysis
Precision Measured. Perfectly Matched.
Each BAFAW fitting is inspected for dimensional accuracy to ensure exact fit and consistent quality across every batch.
Quality is our lifeline.
From raw material inspection to final packaging, each pipe fitting undergoes a rigorous multi-stage testing process. We ensure every product complies with international standards such as ASME, ASTM, and ISO 9001.
Dimensional Verification
Raw bars and forgings are measured using calibrated calipers and ultrasonic thickness gauges to ensure size tolerance before machining.
Metallographic Structure
Samples are analyzed under a metallurgical microscope to confirm proper grain structure and absence of segregation or porosity.
Coating & Hardness Test
Surface hardness and coating thickness are checked to meet corrosion-resistance and mechanical performance standards.
First Article Inspection
Before mass production, a trial sample is machined and fully inspected to validate tool setup, thread profile, and dimensions.
In-Process Dimensional
CNC machining dimensions (thread pitch, diameter, bevel angle) are monitored with CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) and thread gauges per ASME B1.20.1.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Forged and welded parts are tested for air holes, cracks, or inclusions using UT / PT / MT, following ASME Section V requirements.
Shift-End Verification
After each production run, critical dimensions and visual quality are rechecked to ensure consistency between shifts and batches.
Visual & Surface Inspection
All products are examined for surface finish, thread quality, and marking clarity (size, material grade, heat number).
Pressure & Mechanical Testing
Random samples undergo hydrostatic, tensile, and impact tests to verify mechanical strength and pressure resistance per ASME B16.11 / B16.9.
Identification Review
Each batch is checked for correct markings — heat number, standard, and class rating — to ensure full material traceability.
Packaging & Shipping
Products are securely packed in fumigation-free pallets and cartons, with additional rust protection for overseas shipping.
Comprehensive Certification
BAFAW strictly adheres to the ISO 9001 quality management system and international industrial pipe fitting standards.
