Compression testing machine in Metals of Bahrain's quality control lab

Quality Control

Quality control is at the core of Metals of Bahrain's production process, ensuring that each component meets stringent standards. Our team uses advanced testing and inspection methods to detect and resolve issues early, guaranteeing reliability and consistency in all our castings and machined parts.

Our quality control department is equipped with

  • ARL Spectrometer Primary optical emission spectrometer for precise chemical composition analysis of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
  • Polyspek-F Desktop Spectro Compact desktop spectrometer for rapid alloy verification and incoming material checks at the foundry floor.
  • Ferra Lab Excel & Spectra View Software-linked spectrometry system for detailed elemental reporting and traceability documentation.
  • Tensile Testing Machine Measures ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of material test bars to confirm conformance to specification.
  • Universal Testing Machine Multi-mode mechanical test frame for tensile, compressive and bend testing across a range of alloy grades and section sizes.
  • Impact Testing Machine (Digital) Charpy impact tester with digital readout for measuring notched-bar impact energy - critical for low-temperature service alloys.
  • Hardener Testing Machine Brinell or Rockwell hardness testing to confirm heat treatment results and surface condition on finished components.
  • Equotop Hardener Testing Machine Portable hardness tester for in-situ measurement on large or installed components where bench testing is not practical.
  • Trinocular Inverted Microscope Metallographic microscope with camera port for microstructure examination - grain size, phase distribution and defect analysis.
  • Metallography Equipment Sample preparation station including mounting press, grinder and polisher for producing metallographic sections.
  • Sand Testing Equipment In-house sand lab for moisture, permeability, compressive strength and AFS grain fineness testing of moulding sand.
  • Digital Ultrasonic Flaw Detector Pulse-echo UT instrument for volumetric inspection - detects internal voids, inclusions and shrinkage porosity without sectioning.
  • Yoke-Magnaflux Magnetic particle inspection yoke for detecting surface and near-surface discontinuities on ferromagnetic castings and weldments.
  • Manhole Testing Machine Compression testing machine for load testing manhole covers and frames to EN 124 load class requirements - verifying structural integrity before despatch.
