OMC International ensures steel products meet design intent, regulatory requirements, and performance expectations before they enter fabrication or construction.

Pipe Manufacturing Inspection

OMC provides experienced mill inspectors to oversee line pipe manufacturing in accordance with API 5L and client‑specific specifications. The OMC Team ensures materials and products comply with project specifications, industry standards, and applicable codes. Our inspections cover all phases, from raw material verification to final product delivery, and are performed by experienced, certified inspectors.

Inspection activities include:

ITP and mill procedure review

Plate and coil inspection

Welding procedure and welder qualification verification

Dimensional inspection (OD, WT, bevel geometry)

AUT, hydrostatic testing, and mechanical testing witness

Chemical composition and heat traceability verification

Stenciling, marking, and load‑out inspection

Data book and MTR review prior to release

Our lead inspectors coordinate directly with mill QA/QC, ensuring inspection continuity and timely reporting.
