Inspection and Test Plan

Inspection and Test Plan - The inspection and test plan is the term, which is widely used in the procurement and purchase of industrial equipment.

It is applied to shop or vendor inspections and is a document that identifies the responsibility of the vendor, engineering company, third party inspection company and client regarding inspection "hold," "witness" and "Review" points.

Industrial Inspection for Shop Inspection

Shop Inspection - shop or vendor inspection covers inspection activities that are done by the second party or third party inspector.

It is applied in manufacturing process of industrial equipment such as pressure vessels, pumps, compressors, valves, etc.

Industrial Inspection for Vendor Inspection

Vendor Inspection - Vendor inspection is just a different name for shop inspection and is applied in the purchase and procurement of industrial equipment.

This will describe the tasks of the vendor quality control personnel, the third party inspector, and the client responsibilities. This is very important subject in industrial inspection application.

Industrial Quality Control

Industrial Quality Control - Do you need information about detailed tasks and responsibilities of the industrial equipment vendors and manufacturers?

This article will show you, the detailed tasks of the quality control team of the manufacturers and their relationship and connection to the purchaser's inspector.

Factory Acceptance Test

Factory Acceptance Test - This article provides you with information about the factory acceptance test (FAT). This terminology is used for rotating, electrical and instrumental equipment that is under construction in manufacturing shops.

Industrial Inspection Scope

Inspection scope - This article provides you information about the inspection scope of work. More stringent scopes of work will cause higher inspection costs and higher assurance for quality products, while less stringent scopes will cause lower costs and higher risks of producing non-conforming products. So you need to optimize your inspection level.

Industrial Test System

Industrial Test Systems - This article provides you information about industrial inspections and test systems. This content explains the required test in each inspection field such as shop inspection, pre-shipment inspection, site inspection and in-service inspection.

The test is some part of an inspection process. Explaining -the required tests for each equipment type is not possible in a single article.

This article only guides you to accessing more information through the other articles on this website or by the introduction of the codes and standards.

Industrial Test Calibration

Industrial Test Calibration - This article provides you basic information about industrial test calibration. Measuring, inspection and testing equipment calibration is mandated by most construction and in-service codes.

The manufacturer's quality control system needs to define a process for the calibration of measuring and testing equipment to ensure the reading values are correct and accurate.

Material Inspection Receiving Report

Material Inspection Receiving Report - This article provides you with information about material inspection receiving reports which are very important in the industrial inspection system. This report applies in the shop and site inspection and controls all incoming material to shop and site for construction. It is one of the more important inspection subjects in the industrial inspection system.
