Inspection & QA

Assured by Process, Confirmed in Practice

Every expansion joint must deliver exactly what it was engineered for. At Flexibel, inspection and QA are embedded across the lifecycle from material verification to final commissioning. This discipline ensures joints don’t just meet standards; they prove performance in the field.

The QA & Inspection Process

1

Material Verification

Alloys are validated through Positive Material Identification (PMI) before fabrication begins. Certified mill test reports are reviewed to ensure compliance with EJMA, ASME, and project specifications.

2

Fabrication Hold-Points

Critical stages: forming, welding, and convolution  are monitored through dimensional checks, weld inspection, and NDT (DPT, radiography, ultrasonic). Each stage is released only upon QA sign-off.

3

Pressure & Leak Testing

Hydrostatic and helium leak testing validate both strength and tightness. No joint leaves the shop floor without documented proof of pressure integrity.

4

Documentation & Traceability

Digital records, inspection reports, and QR code tagging ensure every joint can be traced from raw material to commissioning.

FlexInspect™ — Structured Inspection Services

FlexInspect™ consolidates QA into a service you can rely on both before and after delivery.

  • Basic Tier (included with all joints): Fabrication QA, material traceability, NDT reports, PMI, weld inspections, hydro/leak tests, and QR-coded tracking.
  • Advanced Tier (on-site): Installation alignment verification, torque checks, and startup movement validation — preventing early failures during commissioning.

Key Benefits

  • Zero-defect assurance through structured hold-points.
  • Documented compliance with EJMA/ASME and client standards.
  • Reduced risk of early failure at both fabrication and commissioning.
  • Traceability built into every joint for accountability and audits.

Add FlexInspect™ to your next order and secure full lifecycle assurance from fabrication to field.
