Quality Control tests are required at all stages of production from incoming materials through semi finished to the finished products. These tests are necessary to keep a strict control on the quality of the raw materials as well as the finished products. In order to check the quality of the products / components as per specifications and requirements of the customer, one has to carry out elaborate tests. In this aspect physical testing plays an important role. |
