How to Test UPVC pipe fitting in factory?

In ERA factory, daily testing and quality control are essential to ensure that the products meet the required standards and specifications. Some of the common daily tests that a factory may perform for UPVC pipe fittings include:

Dimensional checks: Daily measurements are taken to verify the fittings' dimensions, such as length, diameter, wall thickness, and angles. This ensures that the fittings are manufactured within the specified tolerances.

Visual inspection: Fittings are visually inspected for any surface defects, discoloration, cracks, or irregularities that may affect their performance or appearance.

Tensile strength test: This test assesses the maximum amount of tensile (pulling) force the fittings can withstand before breaking. It helps determine the fittings' structural integrity and suitability for their intended applications.

Pressure testing: Fittings may be subjected to pressure tests using water or air to check their ability to hold specific pressure levels without leakage or deformation.

Impact resistance test: Some fittings may undergo impact tests to evaluate their resistance to sudden impacts, ensuring they can withstand accidental damage.

Chemical resistance test: This test assesses the fittings' ability to withstand exposure to various chemicals commonly found in plumbing systems without degradation.

UV resistance test: Certain applications, such as outdoor installations, require fittings with good UV resistance. UV testing helps determine the fittings' ability to resist degradation caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Hydrostatic pressure test: The fittings may be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test to evaluate their resistance to internal pressure when used in water supply systems.

Flammability test: This test checks the fittings' reaction to fire, verifying their fire resistance and compliance with fire safety regulations.

Color consistency: If the fittings are produced in various colors, color consistency tests ensure that the hues match the specified standard

Heat deflection temperature test: This test determines the temperature at which the fittings start to deform under load, helping establish their maximum operating temperature.

Flow rate testing: In case of complex fittings with flow restrictions (e.g., bends), flow rate testing ensures that they do not significantly hinder fluid flow through the system.

It's important to maintain detailed records of these daily tests to track the quality of the products over time and identify any potential issues that may arise during the production process. Additionally, periodic batch sampling and third-party testing can further validate the fittings' quality and compliance with industry standards.

Here are daily tests of ERA UPVC pipe fittings for ERA factory.
