    Plastic Threads - Quality Requirements

    We are currently creating a body and lid that have trapezoidal threads TR95(mm). The function of the lid is to screw down and with the aid of an o-ring create a waterproof enclosure. The fit between the lid and body is not to much of a concern other than we don't want the lid to skip off the...

    Stainless Steel Rusting

    I was wondering if anyone could describe what is happening in the attached picture. The parts are cast stainless CF8 as per ASTM A351 and then machined. We obtained data from an independent lab that showed that the chemisty and physicals were per the standard. The parts were put through an...

    Plastic Pressure Components

    Currently we have plastic injection molded parts that are used in pressure applications. With this being said we qualify the original design / Vendor by pressure testing the component to a 10X safety factor over the working pressure of the part. Currently our purchasing department is in the...
