MECHANICAL TESTS (By sampling Method)
We carry out various tests during the course of production include:
- To ensure that the "UNIK" Pipe Fittings are properly malleabillised, we carry out the Malleability test.
- To ensure that the "UNIK" Pipe Fittings are properly heat treated and have acquired desired tensile strength and elasticity, we carry out the Tensile Test.
- To ensure that the "UNIK" Pipe Fittings do not leak when subjected to a given internal fluid pressure, pressure test is carried out.
OTHER INSPECTIONS (By sampling Method)
"UNIK" Brand Pipe Fittings are inspected with the help of suitable instruments i.e. Thread Gauges. Templates, Micro Meter and Gauges for thread dimensions and alignment and over all dimensions and wall thickness.

ADVANTAGES OF USING 'UNIK' BRAND PIPE FITTINGS
SAVING COST OF LABOUR & TIME
"UNIK" Brand Pipe Fittings do not crack or break while screwing into pipe due to their higher malleability, withstand higher tightening force applied for making firm and leakproof joints, thus eliminating any chances of wastage of labour and material.
"UNIK" Brand Pipe Fittings can be quickly assembled with pipe due to dimensional accuracy of threads which eliminates the necessity of any network on threads at site, which again results in considerable saving of time and labour cost.
SAVING IN MAINTENANCE & REPLACEMENT COSTS
"UNIK" Brand Pipe Fittings do not call for any maintenance or frequent replacements which may be quite expensive, particularly if the connections are concealed or underground because "UNIK" Brand Pipe Fittings have excellent durability.
"UNIK" Brand Pipe Fittings connect pipes at desired angle be it 90 degree or 180 degree due to perfect thread alignment and keep piping installations free from any additional strain. This also helps maintaining correct flow rate of water.
