Solution
Quality Control and Testing
Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard, and the plant runs its own test centre. The control points are deliberately placed at the start and the end: raw material approval before anything is made, and a full pressure test before anything ships.
Process
Every Stage and the Problem It Removes
Each step below pairs a real failure mode with what we do about it, rather than describing a generic workflow.
Raw Material
A bad batch of yarn or polymer cannot be corrected downstream
All raw materials have to be approved by the Department of Quality Control before entering production
Yarn Testing
Reinforcement strength decides burst pressure, and it cannot be seen
Single yarn strength testers and skein testers are run in our own test centre
Material Testing
Cover compounds behave differently once cured and aged
A rubber rheometer, abrasion tester, ozone resistance tester and high and low temperature chamber are used on material samples
Process Control
Process drift produces hose that passes one day and fails the next
Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard
Pressure Test
Pressure defects only appear under pressure
All hose is tested at the test pressure, and layflat hose is held at 1.5 times working pressure for 2 hours before shipment
Traceability
Without a production record, a failure is an argument rather than an investigation
Every hose can be traced to its production date, production employees and raw material sources
