How to Send a Complete Pipe Fitting RFQ
A piping fitting RFQ needs more than an alloy name and nominal size. This guide organizes geometry, product route, connecting pipe dimensions, schedule or wall, end preparation, dimensional basis, quantity, inspection, documentation, marking, packing, and destination details so elbows, tees, reducers, caps, stub ends, and forged fittings can be reviewed against the intended piping requirement.
Working method
Use the checklist to create a technical record before issuing the RFQ.
Working method
Four controls before technical quotation.
Technical checklist
What to make explicit in the order.
Fitting form
State the exact component, including equal or reducing tee and concentric or eccentric reducer.
Fit-up data
Confirm NPS, OD, wall or schedule, bore, bevel, socket weld, threaded, or drawing-controlled ends.
Dimensional route
State ASME B16.9, ASME B16.11, or the project drawing rather than assuming equivalent geometry.
Quality evidence
Name any PMI, IGC, NACE, NDE, MTC, TPI, marking, and release-document requirements.
Document controls
Release evidence should match the order.
Dimensional report
Request it when centre-to-end, wall, bevel, bore, reducer orientation, or drawing dimensions require evidence.
Certificate reconciliation
Match the certificate grade, product form, standard, test results, and heat number to finished item markings.
Packing instruction
Define protection for bevels or machined surfaces, segregation, crate marking, and destination documentation.
Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions.
