- TIG # 141 (GTAW)
- SAEE # 111 (SMAW)
We are able to weld the following basic materials:

Some examples of mechanically welded assemblies made by Deltafluid :
Welding notebook
For a welded assembly, all the documents requested for the welding book are provided to the customer in accordance with the requirements of the code used:
- Drawing with weld locations and descriptions
- QMOS (Qualification du Mode Opératoire de Soudure) according to NF EN ISO 15614-1 or PQR (Procedure Qualification Record) according to ASME IX: includes all welding data used to weld a qualification assembly and the results of the corresponding mechanical tests for each process used welding
- DMOS (Descriptif du Mode Opératoire de soudure) according to NF EN ISO 15609-1 or WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) according to ASME IX: each assembly configuration and corresponding welding process are precisely described and provide instructions for the realization of welds
- QS (Qualification Soudeur) according to EN ISO 9606-1 or WPQ (Welders Performance Qualification) according to ASME IX: the qualification of the welder must correspond to the variables given for each welding process used and each type of weld.
Dimensional control
At the end of the manufacturing process, all our parts are systematically checked visually and dimensionally according to the validated drawing.
Our control devices are checked periodically by a metrology laboratory.
We have the following control tools: calipers, depth gauges, internal micrometers, external micrometers, rings, smooth buffers, threaded buffers.
In addition, the specific tools allow us a thorough control:
- MITUTOYO measuring column,
- MAHR roughness tester,
- three-dimensional FARO measuring arm (max. Ø 2200 mm),
- MAHR MarSurf CD120 profilometer,
- three-dimensional measuring machine ZEISS DuraMax X 500 * Y 500 * Z 500.
The Zeiss machine allows the control of small parts. The profilometer makes it possible to measure the sharp edge edges of the flowmeters.
For more details on the dimensional control, you can find here general tolerances values :
- for machining according to ISO 2768 standard
- for welded constructions according to ISO 13920
Non destructive testing
The main control techniques that we propose are:
- Visual Control (or Visual Testing - VT)
- Penetrant Testing (PT)
- Radiography (or Radiographic Testing - RT)
- Ultrasonic Testing (or Ultrasonic Testing - UT)
- Leak tightness testing (LT)
- PMI / Ferrite rate
- Hydraulic test flowmeters.
Non destructive tests called NDT (applied to forged, rolled, molded and welded parts) highlight all the defects likely to alter the availability, the safety of use and / or more generally the conformity of a part for the purpose for which it is intended.
Two types of defects are sought:
-
surface defects such as cracks, holes, cracks, bites ...…
- internal defects such as porosities, blisters, inclusions, non-emergent cracks, thickness variations due to wear or corrosion ...
➮ Complementary controls also make it possible to check the chemical nature of the materials used (PMI) and the mechanical resistance of the parts (hydraulic test).
➮ For more details on NDT, you can find here a table with methods used and type of defects which can be highlighted.
Special attention for your specific needs
If some of these controls are imposed by construction codes or regulatory requirements, we are also able to take into account the specific requirements of our customers.
We have for this:
- Review procedures validated by Cofrend Level 3 certified personnel according to EN ISO 9712 or ASNT-TC-1A Level 3
- Cofrend Level 2 certified examiners according to EN ISO 9712 or ASNT -TC-1A Level 2
- Key construction codes specifying the applicable examination methods and acceptance criteria (ASME V, ASME VIII, ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, CODAP / CODETI, NF EN 13480 / NF EN 13445, RCC-M, RCC-MRx, etc.)
Calibration & Products Inspection
For special applications, we are also able to offer a calibration of our devices in an approved laboratory (COFRAC, ISO 17025 ...).
All inspection and testing steps as well as manufacturing steps can also be inspected by the customer or an independent third party.
Material & Traceability
We are able to provide certificates of control of our raw materials adressing the NF EN 10204 standard. There are several types classified here from the least to the most demanding:
- Type 2.1 Certificate of compliance with the order
- Type 2.2 Check statement
- Type 3.1 Acceptance certificate 3.1
- Type 3.2 Acceptance Certificate 3.2
Deltafluid has complementary skills to provide you with products with the desired finish:
- Degreasing (clean and dry cleaning, for cryogenic application or for O2 service)
- Pickling / Passivating
- Ultrasonic cleaning
- Shot blasting / Sandblasting
- Painting
- Polishing
- Protection / Coating (Stellite, PTFE, Inconel, ... for surfaces in contact with aggressive fluids)
Pickling - Passivating :
The thin film of chromium oxide present over the entire surface of stainless steel, which allows it to resist corrosion, can be damage as a result of welding or machining operations. Pickling is used to completely remove oxides and expose stainless steel. The passivation process is then carried out to recreate a protective layer of a sufficient and homogeneous thickness which provides protection against corrosion.
Protection - Coating :
Depending on customer specifications, parts can be painted or coated with a special coating to withstand local climatic conditions and all risks of external aggression.
The ACQPA, Association for the Certification and Qualification of Anticorrosion Painting, certifies anticorrosion painting systems intended for the protection of metal structures corresponding to the "high durability" class of standard NF EN ISO 12944-1.
The certification aims :
-
Corrosion protection of paint systems applied to metal structures,
-
The stability of appearance and color with respect to UV radiation (for parts of structures exposed to natural light).
The certification class corresponds to the ability of the paint system to withstand the environment to which it is exposed according to standard NF EN ISO 12944-2 : for an atmospheric environment, from a very low corrosivity classified C1 to a very high corrosivity in an industrial environment C5I or in a marine environment C5M.
For structures falling within the C5M corrosivity category with parts subjected to the combined effect of the atmosphere and seawater (eg offshore), the C5Mm classification applies.
The choice of the paint system is therefore made by taking into account the external environment but also the temperature of the fluid as well as the material of the part to be protected. Depending on the system, the topcoat can be tinted (RAL to be defined) to meet customer requirements.
Finally, we are able to call out FROSIO certified examiners to provide advice, monitoring and inspection of the painting systems used.
