русскийXINHANG Special Material, a manufacturer of high-quality stainless steel seamless pipes, proudly announces its successful certification to the NORSOK M-650 standard. This significant achievement underscores the company’s unwavering commitment to manufacturing excellence, product reliability, and its dedication to serving the demanding requirements of the global offshore oil and gas sector, particularly in the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
The NORSOK M-650 standard is a rigorous technical qualification procedure for suppliers of materials to the Norwegian oil and gas industry. Developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry to ensure safety, value, and cost-effectiveness, it is one of the stringent and respected quality benchmarks worldwide. Achieving this certification signifies that XINHANG Special Material's manufacturing processes, quality control systems, and final products consistently meet the operational and environmental challenges found in offshore and subsea applications.
"This certification is a milestone for our company and a powerful validation of our quality-first philosophy," said Mr. Xiang, CEO at XINHANG Special Material. "The NORSOK M-650 audit process is incredibly thorough, examining everything from raw material traceability and chemical composition to mechanical testing, non-destructive testing (NDT) procedures, and documentation control. Successfully passing this assessment proves to our clients that they can specify our pipes with absolute confidence for their critical projects."
The certification process involved a detailed evaluation of XINHANG Special Material's entire production chain. Key areas verified include:
- Material Traceability: A robust system ensuring full traceability from raw material melt shop to the final finished pipe.
- Quality Assurance: Stringent procedures for chemical analysis, mechanical testing (including tensile, impact, and hardness testing), and dimensional inspection.
- Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Advanced and validated NDT methods, such as ultrasonic testing (UT) and eddy current testing (ET), to guarantee pipe integrity and detect any imperfections.
- Personnel Competence: Verification of the high skill level and continuous training of all operational and quality control personnel.
- Documentation: Meticulous and transparent documentation practices, providing clients with comprehensive Material Test Certificates (MTC) that comply with all M-650 requirements.
For E&P companies, engineering contractors, and procurement managers, specifying NORSOK M-650 approved materials significantly reduces project risk, simplifies the qualification process, and ensures compliance with the strictest safety and environmental regulations. This certification positions XINHANG Special Material as a qualified and reliable partner for major offshore developments, subsea pipelines, umbilicals, and high-pressure flow lines where failure is not an option.
With this achievement, XINHANG Special Material strengthens its position as a global supplier capable of meeting the world's quality standards. The company is poised to expand its collaboration with key players in the North Sea region and other offshore markets that recognize and require the NORSOK level of quality.
