Quality Management System

Our QMS governs every step from receipt of incoming pipe through final shipment: incoming inspection, in-process controls, final inspection, documentation, and traceability. The system is designed to meet API Q1 requirements and is audited internally and externally on a regular cadence.

Inspection Methodology

Every joint we process is inspected. Sampling is statistical where appropriate and 100% where required by specification or customer requirement.

01

Upset Inspection

  • Visual inspection of every upset for wrinkles, underfill, and punch scoring
  • QC auditor verification of upset dimensions and fin-grinding
02

Heat-Treat Inspection

  • Continuous computer monitoring of temperatures throughout the process
  • Shift-by-shift audits by quality control personnel
  • Mechanical testing per applicable API specification
03

Threading Inspection

  • Visual inspection of every threaded joint
  • Dimensional inspection using calibrated API thread gauges: lead, taper, thread height, thread length, standoff

Laboratory & Mechanical Testing

In-house labs at McCarty and Bear Bayou provide tensile testing, hardness testing, Charpy impact testing, metallography, and chemistry verification, alongside non-destructive examination methods including ultrasonic (UT), electromagnetic inspection (EMI), and magnetic particle inspection (MPI).

Traceability & Documentation

Every order ships with full documentation: mill test reports, in-process records, inspection results, and certifications of conformance. Records are retained per API and customer requirements and are available for audit on request.

Continuous Improvement

We review our processes — operations, purchasing, inventory control, quality control — on a continuing basis. Equipment upgrades, training programs, and process refinements are funded as part of our normal operating budget, not as exceptional capital projects.
