Expanded Metal Quality Control & Inspection
From raw coil spectroscopy to final dimensional and coating checks. Discover the rigorous 4-stage inspection protocol that keeps every Kingcats expanded metal sheet traceable, consistent, and specification-ready.
Quality Assurance & Control
Raw Material Spectroscopy
Verifying the exact chemical composition (Carbon, Manganese, Silicon) of every steel batch before manufacturing. Fully traceable to original mill certificates.
In-Process Expansion Inspection
Automated visual checks verify bond formation, strand continuity, and diamond repeatability throughout the slit-and-stretch process before panels move downstream.
Dimensional Tolerance Checks
Laser-guided measurements verify SWD, LWD, strand width, thickness, and flatness against ASTM F1267 requirements and approved project drawings.
Mechanical Performance Testing
Random batch samples are tested for mechanical strength, bond integrity, flattening response, and coating performance before release.
The Mill Test Certificate (MTC).
Your Proof of Performance.
We believe in absolute transparency. Every batch of expanded metal sheets and fabricated panels dispatched from our facility is accompanied by an official EN 10204 3.1 compliant Mill Test Certificate (MTC). This document details the exact chemical composition, mechanical test results, and coating data tied to your specific order.
