Quality Inbound Materials Page

The foundation of any high-quality product begins with the materials used. At United Brass Works, we strongly emphasize the quality of our inbound materials to ensure the integrity of every valve, fitting, and component we manufacture. 

From the moment raw materials arrive at our facility, they undergo strict quality control processes to ensure they meet the specifications required for high-performance industrial applications. 

By ensuring the quality of our inbound materials, we’re able to produce durable, reliable products that perform under pressure.

Inbound Material Inspection

Our inbound materials process begins with a thorough inspection upon arrival. We believe that high-quality materials are essential to creating long-lasting products. 

Therefore, we have developed a comprehensive quality control system for all incoming raw materials.

• Material Verification: Upon arrival, all materials are subjected to a series of inspections to verify their chemical composition, hardness, and structural integrity. We employ advanced testing methods such as spectrometry and hardness testing to ensure that the brass, bronze, and other metals meet the specific standards required for their intended use in our products.
• Supplier Audits: To maintain a consistent level of quality, we only source materials from trusted suppliers who share our commitment to excellence. Our suppliers are regularly audited and evaluated based on their performance and the quality of their materials. This rigorous approach ensures that all materials used in our globe, check, and whistle valves are of the highest standard.
• Traceability: All inbound materials are logged into our system and traced throughout the entire production process. This traceability guarantees that we can track the material’s journey from its origin to its final assembly. This system is particularly valuable in industries like fire protection and automotive, where material quality directly impacts the safety and reliability of the final product.

Why Inbound Material Quality Matters

Using the highest-quality materials is critical for ensuring the durability and performance of our products in demanding industrial environments. Our valves, such as needle and gate valves, are often exposed to high pressures, extreme temperatures, and corrosive substances. By starting with premium materials, we ensure that our valves and components can withstand these harsh conditions, reducing the risk of failure and extending their lifespan.

The quality of inbound materials also plays a crucial role in our ability to meet various industry standards, such as ISO 9001:2015. By ensuring the material quality from the beginning, we uphold these certifications and maintain our reputation as a leader in manufacturing industrial valves and components.
