Quality Assurance & Qualifications

Quality Assurance:

Every project that comes through our shop is inspected at every step by our qualified QA/QC inspector.

Qualifications:

ASME
Our facility is coded to perform work under section VIII, Div-1. Under this section we can design and build vessels, heating & cooling jackets, as well as other products up to 3000 psi. Any product that we build to this standard will be stamped with a U stamp (U stands for Unfired product) as well as being accompanied by a inspection report.

UL (Underwriters Laboratories)
We have two UL designations at our facility. The first is for our electrical panels. All panels we build are built to UL standards and use UL registered products. Our facility undergoes inspections on a routine basis. Please see our electrical section for more information.

The other UL designation we have is for our direct gas fired kettles. We have undergone many tests to achieve certain efficiencies and temperatures. All direct fired kettles we build are UL classified and are test fired before leaving our facility. This is very helpful once the product arrives at your site. Many local inspectors require UL tags on gas fired equipment. If there is no tags you may be required to get on site UL classification. This can be very costly. With the tags on our equipment it means we have already undergone all the tests and procedures to get the appliance passed. With a call to us or UL an inspector can check on this.

NEMA
This also applies to our electrical panels. In certain situations and installations it may be required for a panel to be completely waterproof. NEMA has certain design requirements that need to be met to ensure a panel is truly waterproof. This eliminates any guess work and re-engineering in the panel construction. This is not a standard feature on all panels and needs to be specified at the time of quotation.
