The Nadcap® program is an industry-managed approach to conformity assessment that brings together technical experts from both industry and government to establish requirements for accreditation, accredit suppliers and define operational program requirements.
This coordinated Nadcap system results in a standardized approach to quality assurance and a reduction in redundant auditing throughout the aerospace industry.
The COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing at the time of writing. Terminology we were not familiar with before has entered our vocabulary. Social distancing, shelter-in-place and furlough are now part of our daily lexicon. These are all measures, among others, instituted to protect us.
Just like individuals, each business will have its unique challenges and some commonalities as well. For heat treaters, the need to maintain customer approvals, industry accreditations, equipment calibration and furnace efficiency are vital to their current and future ability to provide heat-treatment services. Yet these are not easy to achieve in optimal conditions, and today’s world is indisputably suboptimal.
Questions about AMS 2750 are common for readers of this journal. We review the impact of this important pyrometry specification to help you deal with the complexities and unknowns in the high-temperature environment of sintering.
Many engineers see CQI-9 as a useful quality checklist that ensures efficient and issue-free processing, while others see it as a burdensome list of requirements that wastes time and money. If the self-assessment document is treated as a box-ticking exercise, it is indeed a waste of resources.
Aerospace special-process providers seeking Nadcap accreditation agree that the process has elevated the level of compliance from procedural accuracy, training, documentation, equipment functionality and process control.
Aerospace Testing & Pyrometry successfully completed the initial accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2005, “General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories.”
Heat Treating Services Unlimited Inc. (HTSU), a supplier of pyrometry and refractory services, recently ordered a PhoenixTM hot-box system for performing temperature uniformity surveys at client’s plants.
