An important feature of pharmaceutical process validation is documentation. All our housings are given stringent inspections during and after manufacturing including dimensional checks, weld inspections, surface measurements and hydrostatic testing. Each housing is labled by laser with a matching serial number on the bell and base. This serial number provides complete traceability for the Quality Control Certificate, Material Test Reports, and Weld Logs.
