Frequently Asked Questions
1. What surface finish requirements do you meet?
We provide mechanical polishing and electropolishing to achieve surface roughness values meeting ASME BPE requirements, typically Ra ≤ 0.5 μm for product contact surfaces. Surface finish is verified by profilometer measurement with documentation. We can meet specific customer surface specifications as required.
2. How do you support regulatory compliance?
Our documentation packages include material certifications, welding records, surface finish verification, pressure test certificates, and dimensional inspection reports. We provide IQ/OQ support documentation and can participate in customer FAT protocols. All documentation supports FDA and EMA regulatory requirements.
3. Can you fabricate contained reactor systems?
Yes, we design and fabricate pharmaceutical reactors with containment features for potent compounds. This includes sealed charging systems, contained sampling, and barrier isolation integration. Our engineering team works with your process requirements to ensure adequate containment while maintaining operational flexibility.
