Interchangeability:
Sub contracting Capabilities:
SWASTIK™ infuses its supplier with the same quality consciousness to achieve high quality standard.

People:
SWASTIK™ valve is headed by R.K. THAKUR, an engineer with over 35 years of experience in production and designing of valves. At SWASTIK™, all employees are encouraged to learn, perform and grow to their full potential. Suggestions and ideas, concerning product performance, are openly discussed, as we believe Quality Is Everybody's Business.

Standard Practices:

All enquiries of development items are circulated to Design, Quality Control and Production Department, for their comments on constrains of design, manufacturing and delivery. And on receipt of their comments, our offers are being submitted with Detail General Assembly Drawing and Quality Plan. Any clarification is being submitted by Marketing Department, after consulting Design & Quality Control Department.

On receipt of Order and after scrutinizing of Order, Order Acceptance are sent with Drawing and Quality Plan to customer for their approval. Work Order are made and released for procurement and manufacturing activities on receipt of approved drawings and QP from customer.

Materials are procured from selected and approved vendors, well known foundries and the received material goes through our regular Quality Control Inspection for conformance of surface finish, chemistry, physical properties and dimensions.

On the acceptance of Material, Material moves to stores/manufacturing process.

All in-house produced and sub-contractors supplied materials goes through regular quality control inspection process for their conformity of dimension and finish.

MATERIAL PROTECTION:

All finished carbon steel parts are protected from corrosion either by phosphating or by cadmium plating. All stainless steel castings are protected with passivation natural white.

All Valves/Equipment are being 100% Pressure Tested for leak tightness and for easy operation.

Standard Scope of Inspection by outside inspection agencies.

1. All valves are tested 100% by QC Department before offering external inspection.
2. Overall Dimensional check on assembled valve for its conformance as per SWASTIK™ Catalogue or as per approved drawings.
3. Inspection calls are given.
4. Only one outside inspection agency will be allowed to inspect the valves covered in one order.
5. All supply will accompany Test Certificate for material conformance and Pressure Test.
6. Finished Valves are packed properly and being dispatched as per purchase order instruction.

All Jigs & Fixtures, Master gauges and Calibration of Measuring Instruments, Pressure Gauges are periodically inspected and this is a part of companies Quality Assurance Procedures.

STANDARD CLEANING AND PACKAGING:

Specification SCP-G(Rev.00) April - 2000

Scope
SWASTIK™ Specification SCP-G defines the cleaning,lubrication, and packing requirements for all standard SWASTIK™ Products and describes the practices used to meet these requirements. Specification SCP-G is a unified document that supercedes previous specifications
 
Specification Requirements
Products shall be cleaned as individual components to be free of burrs. Chips, loose particles, oil, grease and other contaminants. The unaided eye under bright illumination shall inspect components. Components shall be protected from contamination after cleaning. Assembled products shall be lubricated as required by product specifications. Finished products shall be packaged and boxed for protection from contamination and damage during shipment and storage. Packages shall be marked for identification.
 
Cleaning Practice
Components are de-burred by mechanical, chemical, electrochemical or other suitable means to remove burrs and break sharp edges as required. Oil, grease and loose particles are removed by cleaning with non-ozone-depleting chemicals. Cleaned components are inspected by visual examination without magnification under bright illumination.Carbon steel components are protected from atmospheric corrosion by plating, a conversion coating or a light oil film. Brass components may be bright dipped to prevent tarnish of exterior surfaces. Cleaned components are packaged to protect them from damaged and contamination during storage and are moved to final assembly in protective parts handling containers.
 
Assembly, Lubrication and Testing Practice
Finished products are assembled from cleaned components in a clean, well-lighted work area. Lubricants or coatings are applied to threads, mating surfaces, O-rings and seals to prevent galling, reduce friction and ensure proper sealing.Lubricants and coatings are hydrocarbon or halo-carbon based compounds or silicones and may contain inorganic additives or leachable halogens. Production tests of assembled products, when required are being done with clean, dry nitrogen or helium.
 
Packaging Practice
After any required assembly and testing, finished products are packaged to protect them from contamination and damage during shipping and storage. Exposed male threads are capped when necessary for protection. Individual products are packaged in plastic bags when necessary Standard quantities of products are packed in cardboard boxes with suitable protective material. Boxes are identified with the part number, quantity and packaging date code.
 
Safe Component Selection
When selecting a fluid system component, total system design must be considered to ensure safe, trouble-free performance. Size, function, materials. compatibility, adequate ratings and proper installation, operation and maintenance are the responsibility of the system designer and user.
