The Quality Way Is The Only Way

The most standout element of PDS has been our ability to put in place a Quality Control System that can handle everything from the simpliest to the most complex and unique projects. Some of the features of our Quality Control System include:

• QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEMS: AS-91000, MIL-STD-45662 AND MIL-STD-1308
• LIQUID PENETRANT INSPECTION
• MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION
• HELIUM LEAK TESTING (MASS SPECTROMETER)
• ALLOY IDENTITY EXAMINATION
• THERMOELECTRIC TESTING
• ROCKWELL AND MICRO-HARDNESS TESTING
• PROOF LOAD TESTING
• PUMP PERFORMANCE TESTING
