MADE ACCORDING TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS MANUFACTURING, WELDING & TESTING EXTENSIVE STOCK We at Belman is adding value to our customers by ensuring effective material handling that keeps extensive raw material stock levels for uninterrupted production of Belman Expansion Joints. We own the optimal raw material stocks, including flanges and pipes, to fulfil our current and oncoming expansion joint demand that ensures no delivery delays. In order to face the demand, we are maintaining a precise inventory status of carbon, stainless steel and high alloy material stocks while improving stock availability continuously. Moreover, we maintain the availability of flanges in stainless & carbon steel in raw El-Galva & hot deep Galva, including pipes in stock from DN25 to DN500. We at Belman always focus on maintaining extensive raw material stocks while ensuring a consistent quality of raw materials. For most of Belman’s clients, it is crucial to receive the product on time as to avoid from unnecessary & expensive delays. Therefore, we were always ready for this kind of emergency situations as we prioritized on-time delivery. FORMING BELLOWS Forming Belman can form bellows in diameters from DN 15 – 12.000 by us of the following forming methods: Punch forming Rolled forming Hydraulic forming Elastomer forming Belman is capable to produce welded pipes out of the plates by using our modern cutting and rolling machinery. See Belman facilities EXPANSION JOINT WELDING As we are often involved in projects, where Expansion Joints are a part of a critical application, we understand the importance of the supporting documentation. Thus detailed quotation, supporting calculations, extensive quality control and testing procedures will generally be a part of the project documentation. This also includes a study of provided specifications, close dialogue with the customer, inspection of welding consumables, materials and a sub-supplies audit, test, documentation and final inspection. Belman welding specialists have minimum international welding inspector certification (IWI) to perform in-process welding inspection. Belman is capable to prepare the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) and Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR) as per different international welding and design standards and codes, including: Welding standards/Codes: EN 15600 series, ASME sec IX Design standards/Codes: EN13445, EN13480, EN14917, EJMA, ASME Sec VIII-div 1 & 2, ASME B31.3 and ASME B31.1 Belman production is capable to weld different materials including high alloy materials from the 0.25 mm thickness with using automated and manual welding process based on the approved WPS by the welding specialists which are also approved by the 3rd part. Welding processes are including, but not limited to: TIG welding, GTAW, 141, 142 MAG/MIG welding, GMAW, 135, 131, 136, 138 Plasma welding, PAW, 15 QUALITY AS VITAL PART COMPREHENSIVE TESTING Pressure testing rig for up to DN3500, 500 T Test at low tempratures (here -169°C) Life cycle testing Pressure test (up to 365BarG) ITP & TESTING Inspection test Plan generated by the quality management system makes sure that each step of manufacturing has the appropriate inspection points such as Hold and Witness points. Based on manufacturing code, project specification, application, media, and eventual ship classification rules Belman performs a large variety of quality tests including destructive, non-destructive testing and proof testing. All tests can be witnessed by the 3rd part based on the customer and classification requirements. Destructive test: such as life cycle test and burst test to validate the design, i.e., vessels and offshore platforms Non-destructive test such as Visual testing, dye penetrant test, Radiography examination, Magnetic testing, ultrasonic testing, hardness testing and PMI for all applications Proof tests: leak test with air, leak test with helium and formier gas, hydrostatic pressure test for all application WE CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT MADE IN EUROPE, MADE WITH CARE MADE IN EUROPE, MADE WITH CARE Belman Expansion Joints are made with care – care for the environment, humans, regulations, safety and costs Read more Your browser does not support HTML video.
