Manufacturer’s Data Reports (MDR) are important documents that accompany equipment to ensure quality and safety. Let’s break down what MDR includes and other essential documents needed in manufacturing of Static equipment:
Manufacturer’s Data Report (MDR) Content:
- Material Test Certificates (MTCs): These certificates provide details about the materials used in manufacturing.
- Fabrication Stage Inspection Reports: Reports on inspections conducted during the fabrication process to ensure quality.
- Material Identification Reports: Documents identifying materials used in the equipment.
- Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Reports: Reports on tests conducted before and after Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) to check for defects.
- Welding Inspection Reports: Reports detailing welding processes and inspections.
- Final Inspection Reports: Reports conducted before the equipment is shipped out, ensuring it meets quality standards.
- Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) Reports: Reports on heat treatment processes applied to welded parts.
- Hydrostatic Test Reports: Reports on tests conducted to check for leaks and pressure resistance.
- Inspection Release Certificate (IRC): A certificate indicating that the equipment has passed all necessary inspections and is ready for use.
Additional Documents Required for Manufacturing:
- Quality Assurance Procedures: Procedures outlining how quality will be maintained throughout the manufacturing process.
- Welding Procedure Specification: Details of welding procedures to be followed, included in the MDR.
- Procedure Qualification Records: Records showing that welding procedures have been qualified through testing.
- Welder’s Qualification Records: Records demonstrating that welders are qualified to perform the necessary tasks.
- NDT Procedures: Procedures outlining how Non-Destructive Testing will be conducted.
- PWHT Procedure: Procedure detailing how Post Weld Heat Treatment will be carried out.
- Hydrostatic Test Procedure: Procedure outlining how hydrostatic testing will be conducted to ensure equipment safety.
These documents provide a record of the manufacturing process for future reference. Following proper procedures and documenting every step is essential for ensuring the reliability and safety of the equipment produced.
