System control

The production of a quality-controlled pipe system demands supervision, regulation, and control in all steps of the process. All results and processes have to be documented.

These standards and guidelines detail the minimum requirements for internal control. Conformance to these standards is verified by independent institutes in the form of internal audits and laboratory tests. Many years of experience in the extrusion and injection moulding industries have made aquatherm the market leader and pioneer in manufacturing polypropylene piping systems. This experience is reflected by demanding quality-control standards and carefully established procedures, which are meticulously documented and proven by the consistent and superior quality of aquatherm’s products.

Internal control

Trained and qualified employees and a modern, well-equipped laboratory ensure that all tests are carried out and regulations are complied with in accordance with the quality-control policy, including:

• control of inspection, measuring, and test equipment
• process and production control
• receiving inspection and testing
• in-process inspection
• final inspection

All internal quality controls are documented and recorded in accordance with the quality control policy.

To ensure consistent performance, aquatherm produces all of the Fusiolen® PP-R (80) material used in the production of its piping systems, accepting only the highest quality of raw polypropylene. By manufacturing its own resin for the extrusion process, aquatherm virtually eliminates the possibility of material failure.

All the metal inserts used in aquatherm’s transition fittings are machined in the aquatherm metal facility, where each piece is designed and engineered to meet the exacting quality standards that aquatherm demands.
