CONTROLS

The supply of quality assemblies and components is the key foundation of the Manoir Industries’ group, which guarantees the reliability of its solutions and its knowledge of its manufacturing processes with respect to customers’ complex specifications.

In its laboratories, Manoir Industries has the controls to characterise the metallurgical, mechanical and physical properties of its manufacturing: resilience tests, tensile tests, hydraulic tests, Jominy tests, creep tests, spectrometry tests, micro and macro tests, ultrasonic tests, time-of-flight testing (TOFT), mechanical integrity tests (MIT), corrosion tests, metrology, etc.

Throughout the manufacturing process, the parts are checked to ensure they fully comply with customers’ specifications. Therefore, Manoir Industries is equipped with many means of NDT, such as dimensional testing, magnetic testing, gamma radiography (with gamma, cobalt and iridium sources) with a 9MeV linear accelerator, ultrasound testing and penetrant testing.

With full commitment over all manufacturing processes and outputs, French Federation for Non-Destructive Testing (Confédération Française pour les Essais Non Destructifs) (COFREND) controllers (using liquid penetrant and magnetic particles), Certificate of Aptitude to Handle Industrial Radiology Devices (CAMARI) operators, and the dedicated controllers and metrologists of boilermaking and piping sites, Manoir Industries actively participates in guaranteeing the quality of its products in accordance with its customers’ specified requirements.

The quality assurance departments of each site are the guarantors of the control and reliability of our processes.

ACPP’s controls are as follows:

• With respect to CAMARI accreditation:

✓ X-ray inspection

• With respect to COFREND accreditation:

✓ X-ray inspection

✓ Visual inspection

✓ Dye-penetrant inspection

✓ Magnetoscopic inspection

• Helium testing
• Airtightness and watertightness testing
