Procurement Terms
Common product wording is grouped here so purchase lists, drawings and project specifications can be matched to the correct RFQ route.
Also Known As
Buyers use different names for the same forged product family. These terms often appear in drawings, purchase lists and supplier shortlists.
Common Standards
Standards are checked against the drawing, project specification and requested inspection route.
- Project drawing or heat exchanger drawing
- ASTM / EN material standards
- Drilling and machining specification
- UT, dimensional and document requirements by project
Material Grades
Material review confirms grade, service condition, heat treatment and certificate expectations before quotation.
Carbon steel pipe plates
Low-temperature steel pipe plates
Stainless steel tube sheets
Duplex and alloy tube sheets
Project-specified pressure vessel grades

Manufacturing Route
The practical route is reviewed before price and lead time are confirmed.
- Material review
- Forging route confirmation
- Heat treatment
- Rough machining
- Final machining
- Inspection and document review
- Marking, packing and export document preparation
Inspection and Documents
Inspection requirements should be included with the RFQ so document cost and timing are clear early.
MTC EN 10204 3.1
Heat treatment record
Dimensional report
PMI when alloy verification is required
UT, MT or PT when specified
Tensile, impact or hardness test records when required
Third-party inspection support by project request

Common Buyer Mistakes
These points often cause repeated clarification or delayed quotation.
- Sending a product name without standard, drawing or pressure rating
- Leaving bore, facing or bolt pattern unclear
- Mixing DN, NPS, PN and class references without a drawing
- Omitting inspection documents until after price discussion
- Forgetting destination country, packing or third-party inspection requirements
FAQ
Short answers for common RFQ questions.
Can you review Pipe Plate Forgings by drawing?
Yes. Send the latest drawing revision with material, quantity, tolerance, inspection and destination requirements so the RFQ can be checked before quotation.
What information is needed before quotation?
A practical RFQ should include standard or drawing, size, pressure rating, material grade, quantity, inspection requirements and destination country.
Which materials are common for Pipe Plate Forgings?
Common requests include ASTM A105, A350 LF2, stainless steel, duplex steel and project-specified alloy grades, subject to drawing and service requirements.
Can inspection documents be arranged?
MTC 3.1, dimensional reports, heat treatment records, PMI, UT, MT, PT and third-party inspection can be reviewed according to the project requirement.
