Questions from OEM teams
What information helps start a pump casting review?
A drawing or model, material specification, expected quantity, operating conditions and critical features help define the review scope.
Are inspection methods the same for every pump casing?
No. Inspection and acceptance criteria depend on the drawing, service requirements and agreed project plan.
