Factory inspection is the final checkpoint for product quality. Every Longkang section undergoes strict inspection before leaving the factory to ensure it meets standards. This article explains factory inspection items in detail.
- Inspection Process
- Appearance inspection → 2. Dimensional measurement → 3. Joint trial assembly → 4. Accessory preparation → 5. Marking and packaging
- Appearance Inspection
Inspection items:
- Smooth surface, no bubbles
- No cracks, no holes
- Uniform color (black)
- Flat, clean cuts
- Smooth socket and spigot
- No obvious scratches
Nonconformance handling: marked and isolated, reviewed for rework or scrapping.
III. Dimensional Measurement
Per-section measurement:
- Outer diameter: measured with a micrometer, tolerance ±2mm
- Wall thickness: ultrasonic thickness gauge, 6 points, tolerance ±0.5mm
- Length: steel tape, tolerance ±5mm
- Out-of-roundness: roundness gauge or tape
- Socket inner diameter: checked for fit with the spigot
- Joint Trial Assembly
- Spigot inserted into socket, fit checked
- Sealing ring in place
- Quick-release buckle installed
- Sealability checked
- Disassembled and reassembled 3 times, fit checked
- Accessory Preparation
Per section equipped with:
- 1 EPDM sealing ring
- 2 quick-release buckles
- 2 sets of M8 bolts
- Product certificate of conformity
- Marking
Printed on each section:
- Product name

- Production date
- Batch number
- Factory name
VII. Packaging
- End protective caps
- Strapped and secured
