Quality you can count on ...

In Vulcan Finned Tubes' production operations, quality is top priority.  Our quality assurance program, as documented in our Quality Assurance Manual, requires monitoring of the production process every step of the way to ensure that your order will meet Vulcan's Standard Specifications for the product.

We maintain full traceability on all materials as they move through production.  Your finished order will ship out with attached Vulcan Heat Labels identifying tubular goods size, grade, mill heat number, and other vital information.  Mill Test Reports can be provided for any tubular goods supplied by Vulcan.

For our welded helical products, welding procedures are documented and qualified, and our machine operators are certified in accordance with Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.  Our welding procedures are written per QW-482 "Suggested Format for Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)".  For each procedure, a test sample is welded according to that procedure and submitted to an independent testing lab.  The testing lab tests the sample and issues a Procedure Qualification Record (PQR).  Finning machine operators produce a test sample using the qualified welding procedures; these test samples are submitted to the independent lab for testing and issuance of a Welder Procedure Qualification (WPQ)

Vulcan can also supply partial data sheets when required to document any ASME Code fabrication work.
