Where cleanability of fittings is the issue,
every step in the production process must be carefully controlled. Our
production methods ensure insure that no mechanical damage or flaws
occur during manufacturing. The cleaning procedures incorporate
multi-process degreasing and washing steps provided to eliminate any
residues of hydrocarbons and stains, using pure 18 MO deionized water.
Our procedures and process capabilities result in the formation of a
stabilized passive layer and increased corrosion resistance.
- Maximum Cleanability
Cleanability defines how
easily contaminants can be removed from a surface. Our process
guarantees the correct finish requirements, chemical composition and
passivity state, with no major physical and / or metallurgical flaws.
- Full Traceability
We provide full
traceability for each of our products by supplying all necessary
production process data. Starting from certifications and incoming
inspection of raw materials, through in-process quality control, final
inspection, marking and packaging. The process is also completely
documented with a unique job number for each BPE process component.
- Every Fitting is Quality Inspected
All
around quality and meticulous inspection insures that every fitting
will be of the highest quality and in total compliance with all
ASME-BPE standards.

- Cleaning:
A seven step cleaning cycle is
conducted to ensure that components are free of contaminants such as
stains, oil, loose particles etc. In the final stage, the fittings are
double-rinsed using hot DI water.
- Inspection Procedures:
All fittings
produced by EGMO production are 100% visually inspected for any surface
finish imperfections, as mentioned in Table SF-3 in the ASME BPE
specification. All dimensional characteristics are inspected 100% for
tolerances listed in Table DT-5 in the ASME BPE specification.
- Marking:
Each BPE fitting is marked with the following:
- Heat number
- Job number
- Material grade
- Standard
- Surface finish (SFF), as specified in ASME BPE, Part DT.
- Brand Name
- Packaging:
Each fitting is capped, bagged and labeled in full compliance with the ASME BPE standard.
- Documentation:
Full Material Test Reports
are supplied with the finished products and via an interactive internet
website, using a special private code.
