Meta's Quality Processes
Eddy Current Test
Detects surface and near-surface defects, cracks, holes, and material discontinuities using electromagnetic induction without damaging the tube.
Online
Ultrasonic
Continuously monitors tubes during production to detect internal and weld-related defects, enabling immediate quality control and corrective action.
Offline
Ultrasonic
Uses ultrasonic waves to detect internal defects, weld imperfections, laminations, and discontinuities after tube production.
Hydro Test
Applies controlled water pressure to verify tube strength, leak tightness, and structural integrity under specified pressure conditions.
Mechanical Testing
Flaring / Flange
Test
Evaluates tube ductility and weld integrity by expanding or forming the tube end without cracking or failure.
Tensile
Test
Measures tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation to verify material mechanical properties and ensure compliance with specified standards.
Rockwell & Superficial
Hardness Test
Measures material hardness using controlled indentation to verify consistency, strength, and suitability for specified applications.
Impact
Test
Measures the material’s ability to absorb sudden impact energy, helping evaluate toughness and performance under dynamic loading conditions.
Surface
Roughness Test
Measures surface texture and roughness to ensure the tube meets specified surface quality requirements for its intended application.
Spectroscope
Test
Examines the material’s microscopic structure to evaluate grain structure, weld quality, heat effects, and metallurgical characteristics.
Flattening / Reverse
Flattening Test
Checks tube weld integrity and ductility by compressing the tube, ensuring it withstands deformation without cracking or opening.
Thermography at
Multiple Stages
Uses thermal imaging to identify temperature variations, process abnormalities, and potential defects during different stages of manufacturing.
