- Visual Inspection: Conduct visual inspections to detect surface defects (cracks, laminations, scratches, pitting) and verify surface finish/coating.
- Material Verification: Verify material grade by conducting PMI (Positive Material Identification) if required, or by correlating physical markings with documentation.
- Witnessing Testing: Witness and verify mechanical tests (Hardness, Tensile, Flattening, Bend tests) and Non-Destructive Tests (DP, UT, MPI, Radiography) as per the Inspection & Test Plan (ITP).
2. Documentation & MTC Review
