Manufacturing and Inspection Route

Use this route to understand what has to be confirmed before price, lead time, MTC 3.1 and third-party inspection commitments are made.

  1. Material review

    Material grade, heat number, certificate basis and substitution limits are checked against the Valve Body Forgings drawing or standard before procurement is released.

  2. Forging process confirmation

    The forging route is selected around branch geometry, wall transitions, pressure zones and machining allowance so the pressure component is not treated as a generic flange blank.

  3. Heat treatment

    Heat treatment is planned around pressure-service material requirements, wall thickness, NDT scope and mechanical-test records required by the valve or equipment drawing.

  4. Rough machining

    Rough machining establishes port, branch, body or bonnet datum surfaces and verifies whether enough stock remains around pressure-wall transitions.

  5. Final machining

    Final machining controls ports, branch bores, body faces, bonnet interfaces, wall transitions and drawing tolerances before dimensional inspection is issued.

  6. Inspection and document review

    Inspection covers dimensional report, MTC 3.1, PMI, pressure-component NDT notes and required UT, MT or PT records before release documents are matched to the PO.

  7. Marking, packing and export document preparation

    Marking, packing and export documents are prepared by PO line item so the Valve Body Forgings shipment can clear customs and be identified at site receiving.

Inspection and Documents

Include document requirements with the first RFQ so inspection cost and timing are visible before offer comparison.

  • 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

How to Send This RFQ

Complete offers come back fastest when the first message carries the data below - and avoids the omissions that make quotations look cheaper than they are.

Send these details

  • Standard or drawing
  • Size / DN / NPS
  • Pressure class / PN
  • Material grade
  • Facing
  • Bore
  • Quantity
  • Heat treatment
  • Inspection requirement
  • Destination country
  • Third-party inspection need

Avoid these omissions

  • Sending a product name without the latest drawing revision
  • Leaving critical dimensions, datum faces or machining allowance unclear
  • Omitting material grade, heat treatment or NDT scope until after price discussion
  • Using flange table language for a drawing-controlled forged component
  • Forgetting destination country, packing or third-party inspection requirements

FAQ

Short answers for common RFQ questions.

Can you review Valve Body 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 Valve Body 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.
