Quality assurance Product integrity for pressure vessels is of great importance. Products, processes and business systems of voestalpine Grobblech is certified by Lloyds Register of Quality Assurance to ISO 9001. This certification covers all aspects of sales, service, design, manufacture and testing. voestalpine Grobblech is certified for heavy plates as well as clad plates by the Verband der Technischen Überwachungsvereine (VdTÜV) (Union of Technical Inspection Groups) and by the Technischer Überwachungsverein Industrie Service GmbH (=TÜV-Süd) (former Technical Inspection Group Bavaria): AD-Merkblatt W0 / TRD 100 EG-Druckgeräterichtlinie Nr. PED97/23/EC (PED = Pressure Equipment Directive) Welding of heads and cones is possible according to PD 5500, AD 2000, EN 13445, ASME U and U2 Stamp. Product support Our Research & Development department is a dedicated center of expertise. We continually invest in the education of our staff and in the latest research tools to assure first-class technical investigation. We have an independent and fully accredited testing facility on site. Our R & D is continually developing new materials for more complex applications and contributes to the optimization of our production processes. Additional work includes simulations of material performance such as weldability, deformation and edging behavior, fatigue tests and fracture mechanics. These tests provide a complete performance profile of our steels under practical conditions. We calculate the pressing tools for hot forming of heads with the finite element method. 9

Further treatment Heat treatment Heat treatment is set according to material requirements. Water quenching can be provided up to a diameter of 6,500 mm. Normalized (N) Normalized and tempered (N+T) Quenched (Q) Quenched and tempered (Q+T) Edge preparation for welding Edges are flame-cut in preparation for welding according to customer specifications. Shotblasting for carbon steel heads Carbon steel heads can be shotblasted to a roughness of SA 2.5. Surface finish for clad heads The surface of the base material is normally as rolled or shotblasted. The surface of the clad material is normally ground with a grain size of 60-240. Other grain sizes are available on request. Another option is blasting with glass beads for ferritic-free surface. The clad surface is protected for transport with a special easily removeable and water-soluble glossy top paint. Pre-assembly of multi-piece heads All parts of multi-piece heads and cones are pre-assembled to ensure a perfect match. 12
