2. Sub-assembly inspection

• Items like heating and pumping unit are tested for parameters like leakage, pressure, flow rate, etc.
• Combustion blowers are tested for pressure and leakage and starting current of the motor, dynamic balancing, etc.
• Heating elements are subjected to dimensions, resistance checks ,etc.
• Bought out items like electric motors, pressure gauges, temperature gauges, heaters, etc., are tested.
• Instrumentation items like controllers, recorders, RTDs, thermocouples, are tested and calibrated with traceability to National Standards

3. Pre-Delivery / Site Inspection
Testing of all parameters like insulation thickness, operational parameters of allied equipments, heat-up rate, temperature uniformity, etc.

Process control instruments like thermocouples, pid controllers. Etc. Are calibrated at national metallurgical laboratories, with traceability to national standards.

Electronic test and development center wherein the results are traceable to national standards.

Heating elements, alloy steel castings, plates, etc. are tested in Government approved laboratories for chemical composition and physical properties

To a great extent most of the parameters are checked in-house in view of the excellent facility available in Benco’s factory. In addition to this, once the product is fully assembled, the performance characteristics is fully checked at site by actually operating the equipment for its desired operation.
