At AQ Steel, our rigorous quality assurance extends to specialized testing for welds. Specifically:

  • Fillet welds undergo Magnetic Particle Testing (MP).
  • Full penetration butt welds are subjected to Ultrasonic Testing (UT).
  • Our testing approach varies based on steel thickness:
    • For steel elements less than 10mm thick, Magnetic Particle testing (MP) is deemed sufficient.
    • Steel elements exceeding 10mm thickness require both Magnetic Particle testing (MP) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT).

For Quality Assurance, we comply with the following Standards:
