FAQs of Pump Station Pipe

1. Is the Pump Station Pipe suitable for open and closed circulating water systems?

Yes, Plumberstar Pump Station Pipes work for both open and closed circulating water systems.

Closed systems have stable pressure and relatively clean water. For this, we choose seamless steel pipes or thickened stainless steel pipes. We also treat the inner walls to prevent rust and corrosion. This effectively reduces scale buildup, keeps the water flowing smoothly, and adapts to the system’s non-stop, stable operation.

Open systems often come into contact with air. They’re prone to algae and scale growth. For this, we use 304/316 stainless steel pipes. These pipes resist oxidation and water corrosion.

Before leaving the factory, every set of pumping station piping undergoes a 100% pressure test. This ensures the product runs stably and reliably once installed in the system.

2. Can you provide MTRs for the Pump Station Pipe?

Of course, we can.

The Material Test Report (MTR) will record detailed information on the material’s key components. It includes the percentage of copper, lead, zinc, and other elements. This ensures the material meets relevant market standards.
It also contains data like tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. These verify whether the material’s mechanical properties meet standards.

You just need to tell us you want the MTR when placing your order. We’ll send it along with the goods. No extra charge.

3. Is each Pump Station Pipe pressure tested before shipment?

We inspect 100% of all products before shipment. Plumberstar has an independent testing room. 150 professional testers are in charge of completing all testing processes.

• First, we conduct a pneumatic test on each pipe. Seal the pipe first, then fill it with dry air at a specified pressure. We use highly sensitive sensors to monitor it. This detects tiny pores or cracks that might be hard to find with conventional hydrostatic testing.
• After the pneumatic test is passed, the product proceeds directly to the hydraulic test. Fill the pipe with water and pressurize it to 1.5 times the standard working pressure. Keep this pressure for at least 30 minutes. This verifies the product’s structural strength, sealing performance, and long-term durability.

All testing processes and related data are fully recorded and archived. This ensures product quality is traceable and verifiable.

4. Can you provide a complete QC document for the Pump Station Pipe?

We can provide customers with a complete, standardized QC documentation system. It covers the whole process of products, from raw materials to delivery.

I. Raw Material Inspection Report (IQC)

All brass, stainless steel, and other raw materials must pass a strict incoming inspection after entering the factory. It includes two key checks:

• Material Spectrum Analysis
  We use a spectrum analyzer to detect the chemical composition of materials. This confirms that key elements, such as copper and lead, meet the material standards specified in the order, including C3604 and SS316.
• Physical Performance Testing
  We test key indicators, such as the material’s hardness and tensile strength. This ensures the material has enough structural strength and durability.

II. Production Process Inspection Record (IPQC)
We implement quality control for all key process nodes during production. Quality inspectors supervise the whole process.

• First Article Inspection Record
  For processes like forging, machining, and welding, we produce a first piece and conduct a full, comprehensive inspection. Mass production only starts after the first piece is confirmed qualified.
• Process Inspection Record
  During production, we take samples at the specified frequency. We focus on checking indicators like size accuracy, thread quality, and surface finish. We complete detailed inspection records to ensure consistency across the whole batch of products.

III. Finished Product Inspection Report (FQC)
All products must pass the final quality inspection before leaving the factory.

• 100% Pressure Test Report
  Each product undergoes a pressure maintenance test on a professional test bench. The test is done under an overrated working pressure. Products can only leave the factory after passing the test.
• Appearance and Size Full Inspection Report
  We thoroughly inspect each product. We make sure there are no burrs, scratches, or cosmetic defects. We also check that all critical sizes meet the requirements of the validated technical drawings.

5. How to start a custom Pump Station Pipe order?

For custom collaboration

• You can provide technical drawings or hand-drawn sketches. Or just directly explain your design ideas or actual application pain points.
• Our engineers will help you pick the right material solution. Things like brass, DZR brass, or 316 stainless steel. We choose based on your application environment and target customer preferences.
• We also confirm key sizes and connection standards. This ensures the product matches the local mainstream piping system. We can also add your brand Logo to the products. Either by casting or laser engraving.
• After the solution is finalized, we will provide you with complete CAD technical drawings for confirmation. Only after you confirm the samples and the tests pass will the project officially enter the mass production phase.

You can submit your request through the Plumberstar official website form. Or via the customized project email (info@plumberstar.com). Or contact your dedicated business representative directly.

6. How to prevent Pump Station Pipe deformation during transportation?

Each pump station pipe gets basic protection before packaging. We cover them with thickened plastic bags or pearl cotton. For high-end custom products, we use independent reinforced protection solutions. This effectively avoids surface scratches from friction or shaking during transportation.

The inner box uses corrugated partitions to create separate sections. Each pipe or pipe group gets its own independent “slot”. This eliminates mutual collision and extrusion from the structure. The outer box is a high-strength five-layer or seven-layer corrugated box. We reinforce the four corners of the carton. This reduces the risk of damage during handling and loading.

After packing, the goods are stacked neatly on pallets. We use fumigated wooden pallets or plastic pallets that meet ISPM 15 standards to ensure stability and compliance during overall transportation.

7. Can DDP service be available for the Pump Station Pipe?

As a professional valve manufacturer, Plumberstar supports DDP delivery services.

When you place and confirm your order, just tell us you need DDP service. And provide the final receiving warehouse address.

We’ll take care of the whole process. From factory loading to international sea or air transportation. Then, customs clearance at the destination port, plus paying customs duties and VAT. All the way until the goods are safely delivered to your designated address. You don’t need to handle any intermediate steps. Just accept and check the goods at the designated location.

DDP charges are calculated based on several factors. Like order volume, transportation mode, and distance, plus customs duties and tax policies of the destination country. When we quote, we’ll list each cost component separately. Things like freight, customs duties, and customs clearance fees. This ensures the price is transparent, with no hidden charges.

8. Why choose Plumberstar as your pump station pipe supplier？

Plumberstar is a professional custom manufacturing factory.
Even if you only have a sketch, our engineering team can turn it into a mature, production-ready product.
