Q:Do you provide Mill Test Certificates (MTCs)?

Absolutely. From our perspective, a steel pipe delivered without a complete and accurate Mill Test Certificate (MTC) is an incomplete product. We consider the MTC to be a fundamental component of our supply, as it provides you with the ultimate proof of quality and full traceability for your materials.

Providing a comprehensive MTC with every order is an essential and non-negotiable part of our quality assurance process.

What Information Is Included in Our MTC?

When you receive a shipment from Allland Steel, it will be accompanied by an MTC that provides a complete summary of the product’s tested properties. You can expect to find the following key information:

• Product Description: Including the standard (e.g., API 5L), grade (e.g., X70), product specification level (PSL), and full dimensions.
• Heat Number: A unique code that provides full traceability back to the specific batch of steel used to manufacture your pipe.
• Chemical Composition: A detailed analysis showing the precise percentage of key chemical elements in the steel.
• Mechanical Properties: The specific, measured results from destructive tests, including:
  • Yield Strength
  • Tensile Strength
  • Elongation
• Additional Test Results: The outcomes of any other tests required by the standard, such as Charpy impact toughness values or hydrostatic test pressure and duration.
• Statement of Compliance: A formal declaration that the product has been manufactured and tested in full accordance with the requirements of the ordered standard.

Our Adherence to the EN 10204 Standard

To ensure our documentation is clear, consistent, and globally recognized, our MTCs are issued in accordance with the European standard EN 10204.

• As our standard practice, we provide a Type 3.1 MTC. This certificate is validated by our authorized quality control department, which operates independently of our production division, ensuring the integrity of the results.
• For projects with the most stringent quality assurance requirements, we can also facilitate a Type 3.2 MTC, which involves co-validation by an approved independent third-party inspection agency.

For a complete explanation of the different certificate types and their importance, we invite you to read our detailed guide on the topic.
