Quality Control
Metallurgical Analysis and Control
FAMAE positions itself as a key strategic partner in providing products and services critical to the industrial and defense sectors, contributing capabilities in metallurgical control and instrument calibration. Its value proposition is based on a high-level technological infrastructure and the specialized work of two fundamental pillars: the Metrological Laboratory and the Central Laboratory.
The Metrological Laboratory plays an essential role in the calibration of measurement instruments, ensuring accuracy, traceability, and compliance with regulatory standards. This capability supports the reliability of our products and services, reducing risks, optimizing production processes, and enhancing decision-making based on accurate data.
For its part, the Central Laboratory concentrates advanced analytical and metallurgical control capabilities, ensuring the quality, strength, and performance of critical materials. This service is crucial for validating processes, verifying technical specifications, and ensuring that each component meets the highest standards required by the industry and the defense sector.
Central Laboratory
EThe central laboratory specializes in centralizing the analyses for the quality control of raw materials and finished products, physical-chemical analyses, and, in some cases, tests for industrial hygiene.
– Chemical analysis by atomic absorption for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 elements.
– Chemical analysis by optical emission spectrometry.
– Metallographic analysis for steels and alloys.
– Metallographic analysis for non-ferrous materials.
– Detection of superficial defects using penetrating inks.
– Tension test, without the preparation of a test piece.
– Tension Test, with preparation of a test tube.
– Trial folding to welded tubes; does not include tube fabrication.
Metrological Laboratory
We have advanced capabilities to perform dimensional controls on length and torque measurements, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements for your production and quality control processes.
Our patterns have international traceability:
In length, through DICTUC, technical reference in Chile.
In torque, backed by the Federal Institute of Physics and Technology (PTB) from Germany, a world authority in metrology.
– Calibration of length instruments using a traceable standard. (Internal)
– Calibration of torque instruments using a traceable pattern. (Internal)
– Calibration of pressure instruments using a traceable hydraulic pattern. (Internal)
– Calibration of mass instruments using a traceable pattern. (Internal)
– Dimensional control service of gauges or control means. (Internal)
– Dimensional control service on coordinate measuring machines (3D). (Internal)
