Quality Control

Quality Bar mandates the following quality-control steps in its manufacturing process:

  1. Incoming hot rolled raw bundles are inspected for split ends and serious surface defects.
  2. Bars are visually inspected when exiting the # 1 pre-straightener.
  3. Bars are randomly tested for ovality as they exit the turner.
  4. Bars are randomly in-line tested for straightness as they exit the #2 post straightener.
  5. Every bundle of TP bars is tested for finish and ovality before packaging with the test results being saved with the order.
  6. Bars are continually monitored via a digital readout for ovality during grinding.
  7. 100% of the TG&P bars are inspected after grinding.
  8. Every bundle of TGP bars is tested for finish and ovality by the packer before packaging and their results are saved with the order.
  9. Bars throughout the process are randomly tested off line for straightness.
