YOUR DRAWING. YOUR REQUIREMENT.
Drawing-based socket weld fittings are defined by a project requirement when a catalogue description does not fully describe the needed component.
01 / PRODUCT OVERVIEW
A custom requirement may involve a particular interface, non-standard dimensions, special tolerances or an unusual material. The controlled drawing and specification establish what is required.
The customer-approved drawing defines the geometry and interfaces. FERROBEND supplies against the specified material, dimensions, quantity and acceptance requirements, subject to confirmation of manufacturing feasibility and availability.
02 / DRAWING-CONTROLLED FEATURES
The drawing defines how the fitting meets the adjoining pipe or assembly. A family name alone may not express the interface.
Controlled dimensions identify the intended geometry; tolerances define the permitted variation of specified features.
Referenced specifications identify the material and acceptance requirements associated with the drawn component.
03 / PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE
A family name explains a fitting’s general function. A controlled drawing can define a particular interface, geometry or tolerance that the family name does not express. The drawing and referenced specifications work together to describe that component.
Understand governing referencesIt is a feature that controls how the fitting meets another component or assembly. Its geometry and tolerance affect fit, so it needs a clear drawing reference.
A revision identifies the issue of the drawing that defines the current component. Different issues may contain different geometry, materials or acceptance details.
04 / SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS
Identify the dimensions and interfaces that control fit or function.
Use the current drawing number, revision and units. Flag inconsistent references.
State material, quantities, inspection and documentation requirements at the start.
05 / UNDERSTAND THE SPECIFICATION
