Union Galvasteel Corporation has established a comprehensive quality assurance program where system and controls are designed in every stage of the business process, thereby assuring products, meet customer requirements and regulatory and product standards. It begins when the customer's specifies his quality requirments and concludes after the product has been used for his specified end use application.
The company has set up laboratory testing facilities for analysis of the manufacturing processes and research and development programs.
Testing Facilities and Methods:
Thickness:
Thickness of CRC, GI and BI is measured by micrometer method.
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry:
The AAS is employed in determining the Al, Lead and Zinc content of the Galvanizing bath thereby ensuring consistent formability of UGC’s product.
On - line X-ray Coating Analyzer:
To give the operators instant feedback so they can make the necessary adjustments on the film coating, an x-ray coating weight analyzer is installed and the read-outs are directly read in the panel installed inside the center control room.
Adhesion:
Bend Test (Flexibility) – Bending laquered sheet metal over a defined radius allows an indication of the elongation and adhesion of a paint film due to bending stress.
Adhesion:
Impact resistance - simulates the actual indentation during installation.
Adhesion:
Cross Hatch Method - is the fastest, and economical method for testing adhesion. ASTM D3359.
Hardness:
Hardness is the resistance of a coating to a mechanical force such as pressure, rubbing or scratching (DIN 55 945).
For quick evaluation, of scratch hardness, pencils of various degrees of hardness are drawn over the coating surface to determine which pencil causes deformation. Applicable only to smooth surfaces.
Color:
10 million color, number of colors that we can distinguish.
Visual Method - visual comparison with a standard. Influenced by different color sensitivities, lighting, etc.
Colorimeter - Measures color in three axes (color spaces-green-red, blue-yellow and black-white.
ASTM D2244 - does not measure speckles, metallic.
Gloss:
Defines the property of the coating to reflect light. Significantly affect the aesthetics of the coating.
Salt Spray Cabinet:
Simulates the external environmental exposure to extremely corrosive environment like marine areas.
Natural Exposure:
Benchmarking environmental exposure in different areas such as rural, industrial, urban, marine, etc. Exposure Areas: Laguna, La Union, Davao.
