QAQC Guide & Tips Provides Industrial Inspection and Testing information including pumps, compressors, valves, pressure vessels, boilers, etc. The articles include all subjects such as Pre-Shipment Inspection, Vendor or Source Inspection and consumer products. The site also covers site inspection and in-service (plant inspection). 

The articles in this website cover all industrial fields such as Oil, Gas, Petrochemical, Refinery, Power, Pulp and Paper, and also consumer products i.e. small air compressors, water pumps, generators, etc. 

The technical articles on this website will be useful for:

• Equipment Purchasers
• Equipment Vendors and Suppliers
• Engineering companies and Procurement Personnel
• Plant Owners or End Users
• Quality Control Personnel
• Third Party Inspectors
• Product Consumers (air compressors, water pumps etc. )
• Buyers and Sellers
• Bankers Letter of Credit (LC) Personnel
• Integrity Engineers and In-Service Inspectors

There are two types of articles on this website: general and apply to all equipment such as “Factory Acceptance Test,” or specific and written for specific equipment such as “Above Ground Storage Tank”

Covered Equipment:
