premises of the manufacturer and his subcontractors.
The results of the evaluation shall be documented in an evaluation report or minutes of meeting (MOM).

5.4 Review of manufacturing procedure conformity record (MPCR)

A complete MPCR with content in accordance with Clause 11 shall be established for review.
The only way to qualify a manufacturing procedure is to fulfil all the requirements of this document. It
is not possible to deviate from this document with respect to being qualified. When all requirements in
this document are fulfilled, the MPCR front page (see Annex G) shall be signed off and stamped by the
Qualifying Company.

5.5 Statement of conformity

The original MPCR front page (see Annex G), completed with all data indicated in Annex G and signed
by the Qualifying Company, is the only valid proof of conformity in accordance with this document.
Where a party authorized by the Company, Main Contractor or Purchaser is used as the Qualifying
Company, the Company, Main Contractor or Purchaser who has given the authorization shall co-sign the
MPCR front page to confirm their acceptance of the MPCR.
NOTE ISO does not keep any listing of qualified manufacturers who are accepted in accordance with this
document.

6 Validity of the manufacturer procedure conformity record (MPCR)

6.1 Term of validity

The manufacturer’s MPCR is valid for a maximum of five years starting from the date of signing and
stamping of the MPCR front page. For new manufacturers, see 7.1.2.
For renewal of an existing MPCR according to 6.2, the renewal is valid for a maximum of five years
starting from the expiry date of the original conformity assessment.
The conformity assessment is valid within the parameters specified in 10.2.

6.2 Renewal of the MPCR

The MPCR from a manufacturer with regular production of the originally conformity assessed products
and alloys to a valid MPS is considered renewed without additional testing provided that production
testing records are retained that demonstrate continued conformance to the specifications employed
for the original conformity assessment. It is a prerequisite that applicable requirements of this
document are complied with.
A renewal shall be initiated prior to the expiry date of the existing MPCR. If this is not the case, a
complete new conformity assessment shall be carried out.
The following actions shall be executed for a renewal of the conformity assessment:
a) evaluating and reviewing the manufacturer's and subcontractors’ premises according to 5.3 by the
Qualifying Company;
b) reviewing and updating the MPS and referred procedures and making a decision whether retesting
is required;

© ISO 2018 – All rights reserved  15

BS EN ISO 17782:2018
ISO 17782:2018(E)


9.3.2 Objective

The objective of the verification is to ensure that the specified parameters in the established heat
treatment procedure are correct by comparing the readings of the furnace temperature-controlling
devices and the temperature-controlling devices measuring the temperature of the load, components
and/or heat sinks.
The verification shall especially verify that:
a) all components in a heat treatment load reach the specified soaking (material) temperature
throughout their thickness;
b) the soaking time is not started before the load/components have actually reached the specified
soaking (material) temperature with the minus tolerance subtracted. For guidance see section
6.3.8 of API RP 6HT:2013 and Annex C.

9.3.3 Extent of verification

Verification shall be carried out for each furnace used for quality heat treatment using the heaviest
load and/or most densely packed load to be heat treated. Manufacturers or heat treatment contractors
having several heat treatment procedures shall verify the most extreme conditions (e.g. a combination
of shortest soaking time, shortest heating time, highest set temperature) in their procedures, in order
to minimise the number of verifications required.
Furnaces used for stress reliving heat treatment do not require verification testing.
After a major refurbishment of a furnace, or after a furnace modification changing the heating or
monitoring configuration or method, a new verification shall be carried out.

9.3.4 Procedure for verification

9.3.4.1 Batch furnaces

The verification of batch furnaces shall be carried out as follows:

a) For components with thickness t < 15 mm, contact thermocouples shall be fixed onto the surface of
at least three components, which are respectively located in the middle of the heat treatment load
and in two corners of the load diametrically opposite to each other. For plates, thermocouples shall
be located in the centre and in each corner of the plate.
b) For components with t ≥ 15 mm, holes shall be drilled into the components down to mid-thickness
and the thermocouples placed into the holes. The holes should be at least 100 mm from the second
surface of the component and shall be sealed with insulating material to avoid contact with the hot
atmosphere. To avoid damaging the components, heat sinks may be used, which shall be made from
the same general type of material as the parts being heat treated. The cross-section of the heat sink
shall be equal to that of the heaviest cross-section of the parts being heat treated, with dimensions
that permit location of the drilled hole as specified in the preceding text. The number and location
of the heat sinks shall be as specified in a) above. For plates, thermocouples shall be located in the
centre and in each corner of the plate.
c) Readings from the contact thermocouples and, if applicable, inserted thermocouples shall be
compared with the readings from the controlling thermocouple of the furnace by superimposing
the time-temperature curves from the contact thermocouples onto the curve from the controlling
thermocouple.
See the example in Annex C.
d) The manufacturer shall establish a procedure describing how the verification is proposed to be
carried out, including how the mid-thickness temperature will be checked. The procedure shall be
accepted by the Qualifying Company prior to start of the verification.

9.3.4.2 Special heat treatment furnaces and related operations

9.3.4.2.1 General

The requirements in 9.3.4.1 d) apply.

It is difficult to control temperature variations in semi-continuous and continuous furnaces. Often it
is necessary to locate thermocouples/pyrometers at additional locations. A pre-test to establish the
variations and decide the final number and location of thermocouples/pyrometers should be carried
out in cooperation with Qualifying Company. For the same reason, it is often necessary to carry out the
verification on more components of different sizes.
The number and location of the temperature-measuring and -recording devices to be used at the
verification shall be agreed with Qualifying Company.
The verification shall be carried out on products. A minimum of two surveys shall be carried out
with products representing respectively the smallest (thinnest) and largest (thickest) sizes to be heat
treated. For pipe and tubes, different combinations of outside diameter and wall thickness shall be
verified. The components to be used for the verification shall be agreed with Qualifying Company.
The temperature readings from the components shall be correlated to the readings of the temperature-
controlling devices on the furnace or process, normally by superimposing the respective time-
temperature curves onto each other.

9.3.4.2.2 Semi-continuous furnaces

Thermocouple(s) shall be located at the end of the load/component which enters the furnace first. The
thermocouple readings shall be recorded as the load/component passes through the furnace. For tubes
and pipes, the thermocouple(s) shall be located at both the inside and outside and in the mid-thickness
for t > 15 mm. When a load consists of more components, typically tubes/pipes, thermocouples shall
be located on three of the components in the load and located at each side and in the middle of the load
respectively. For plates, thermocouples shall be located in the centre and in each corner of the plate.

9.3.4.2.3 Continuous furnaces

Recording of the material temperatures shall be carried out at the start and end of the soaking zone in
the furnace for the most extreme combination of conditions which can be used in the procedures. For
plates and strips, three pyrometers or travelling thermocouples shall be used along the width, located
to measure the temperature at each edge and in the middle.

9.3.4.2.4 Induction furnaces, and forgings, pipes and tubes directly quenched from hot-forming
temperature

Pyrometers shall be used for temperature measurement. The location and number of pyrometers to be
used shall at least be those described in the heat treatment procedure in 9.2.4 c) and d), with addition
of pyrometers as required to verify that the specified heat treatment parameters, such as soaking
temperature and minimum soaking time, as relevant, are complied with.

9.3.5 Reporting

A report shall be established identifying the furnace verified, describing the heat treatment load used
and the location of temperature-controlling and -recording devices within the load (photograph).
The superimposed time-temperature curves from the contact thermocouples and the temperature-
controlling device(s) of the furnace shall be included in the report with the achieved and minimum
specified equalization (or soaking) times. The report shall include a separate section “Conclusions”
containing clear statements whether the heat treatment procedure is considered satisfactory. If the
requirements of the heat treatment procedure are not met during the verification exercise, the heat
treatment procedure shall be revised.

meeting the specified requirements in the specified MDS or material specification, and
b) verify that the proposed production test sampling gives results which are representative of the
properties of the components they represent.

10.2 Essential variables

10.2.1 General

A change in one or more of the manufacturing parameters stated in 10.2.2 to 10.2.17 requires re-
qualification or supplementary qualification and/or verification tests.

AOD or equally refined scrap with limited use of return scrap;
e) change of casting technique between static casting, centrifugal casting or vacuum casting. This is
not applicable to titanium castings that shall always be cast in vacuum;
f) addition or removal of HIP treatment.
Other changes between moulding methods may require requalification.

10.2.3 Fittings

Qualification on a welded fitting may also qualify for seamless fittings manufactured according to the
same forming method and parameters, provided the manufacturer of the seamless pipe is qualified.

10.2.4 Forgings

Forgings for qualification shall be representative in geometry of the products to be manufactured.

Typically, separate qualifications shall be carried out for flanges, bars, rings and discs. Also other
component types may require separate qualification as agreed with Qualifying Company.

requalification, provided the requirements in Clause 9 are fulfilled.

18  © ISO 2018 – All rights reserved

 BS EN ISO 17782:2018
ISO 17782:2018(E)


A requalification is required if any of the following changes in heat treatment procedure are introduced:
NOTE Requirements specific to titanium components are given at the end of this subclause.

a) change in heat treatment temperature outside the allowable range:

1) for batch heat treatment: the allowable range of heat treatment temperature is –10 °C to +30 °C
from the soaking temperature applied to the component in the qualification testing;
2) for continuous furnaces: the start and end set temperatures in the soaking zone may be different.
In such cases, the heat treatment start and end set temperatures in the soaking zone, with
tolerances, shall be specified in the heat treatment procedure, together with the maximum
travel speed of the components through the furnace dependent on thickness and component
dimensions;
In cases where the heat treatment start and end set temperatures in the soaking zone are different, the
basis for verification of the heat treatment procedure shall be the end set temperature. The qualified
temperature range in such cases is –10 °C to + 30 °C along the soaking temperature curve.
b) change in heat treatment cycle, e.g. from a one-step to a two-step cycle, or vice versa;
c) reduction of holding and/or soak time to a time shorter than that established during verification of
the heat treatment procedure;
d) change from furnace heat treatment to induction heat treatment, or vice versa;
e) change from batch furnace heat treatment to continuous furnace heat treatment, or vice versa;
f) for hot-finished seamless pipes only: change from furnace heat treatment to direct quench, from
hot finish operation, or vice versa;
g) change in quench medium from water to polymer, oil, nitrogen, air and similar, or vice versa;
h) change in quenching method from quenching in bath to spray quenching, or vice versa.
For unalloyed titanium, i.e. Grades 1 to 4, the essential variables for heat treatment above are not
applicable as stress-relieving only applies. For other titanium grades, the heat treatment essential
variables [a) to h) above] shall apply unless otherwise agreed with the Qualifying Company.
A change in furnace atmosphere is an essential variable applicable to the heat treatment of all
titanium alloys.

10.2.6 Hot forming

each new delivery, is required as agreed with the customer in each case.
Qualification testing shall be carried out on the combination of the smallest outside diameter (OD) with
the largest wall thickness (WT) and on the largest OD with the smallest WT to be bent.
It should be noted that:
a) the essential variables to start material as given in 10.2.11, 10.2.12 and 10.2.13 apply;
b) bending with and without post-bend heat treatment require separate qualifications;
c) qualification of one radius qualifies all larger radii, but not vice versa;
d) qualification is required for each bending machine.

10.2.9 Manufacture at different plants and/or locations

If production is carried out at different plants/locations, a separate qualification is required for each
plant. This applies also for a change in subcontractors for essential operations, such as heat treatment,
HIP operations, welding, etc.

10.2.10 Manufacturing equipment

A change in manufacturing equipment as described in the MPS that can negatively influence the product
properties requires requalification. This applies also if the manufacturer has several alternative
manufacturing routes for a product.

10.2.11 Material grade

A change from one material grade to another, e.g. a change in UNS number requires requalification
(except for change from UNS S31803 to UNS S32205 and vice versa).
Qualification of a higher strength grade unalloyed titanium will also qualify lower grade titanium.

10.2.12 Melting and refining process

A change from multiple refining (e.g. AOD + VOD or AOD/VOD + ES) to single refining (e.g. AOD or VOD)
requires requalification.

b) change in welding process or combination of welding processes;
c) change from addition of filler material to no addition;
d) change in filler classification in accordance with ISO 14343 or ASME II Part C.

10.3 Qualification testing

10.3.1 Selection of components for testing

The selection of components for testing and test sampling shall be as agreed with Qualifying Company.
Components for testing shall be selected with a section thickness so that the desired section thickness
according to Table 2 is qualified. Except for castings and HIP components, the components shall be
representative in geometry of what actually is to be manufactured. Castings and HIP components

© ISO 2018 – All rights reserved  23

BS EN ISO 17782:2018
ISO 17782:2018(E)


selected for testing shall be actual products, i.e. not test blocks. For castings, qualification should be
carried out on a cored component, e.g. a valve body.
For forged flanges, contour-forged valves and similar products where production testing is planned to
be carried out on an integral prolongation, such a prolongation shall also be integral to the qualification
test forging.
Components for testing shall be from regular production or from test production, and shall be
manufactured according to the normal manufacturing route and with regular production equipment.
Components shall be tested in their final manufactured condition except that machining, as applicable,
does not need to be carried out. Strain-hardening, threading and similar operations affecting the
properties of the components shall be carried out before testing.

10.3.2 Testing

10.3.2.1 Verification of test sampling and test record

All extraction of test samples and testing specifically related to the qualification tests shall be
witnessed by the Qualifying Company or a party authorised to act on behalf of the Qualifying Company.
For corrosion tests and metallographic examination the test reports need only to be reviewed and
accepted. Inspection certificates according to ISO 10474 Type 3.2 or EN 10204 Type 3.2 shall be issued.

10.3.2.2 Extent of testing for qualification

Testing for qualification shall as a minimum comprise:

a) production testing with test sampling as specified in the applicable standard, material specification,
MDS and/or the MPS;
b) additional testing for qualification according to Table 3;
c) for forged flanges, contour-forged valves and similar products with integral prolongations: testing
on both the prolongation and the product itself;
d) non-destructive testing as specified in applicable material specifications.
The type of tests to be performed and minimum requirements shall be as specified in the applicable
material specification.

10.3.2.3 Requirements for materials requiring impact testing

For materials requiring impact testing, the requirement for base material shall be 20 J higher than the
production test requirements. This does not apply to the additional testing specified in 10.3.3 or to the
testing in position 2 for flanges.
For qualification of dimensions outside the range specified in applicable standard, material specification
and/or MDS, special acceptance requirements may be agreed, e.g. exception to the requirement for the
impact test results to be 20 J higher during qualification than the production test requirements. In such
cases this shall be clearly stated on the MPCR front page.

10.3.2.4 Acceptance of production testing from integral prolongations from forged products

To accept production testing to be taken from the prolongation, the test results from the prolongation
shall be representative of the properties obtained from the same position of the sacrificial product.
It is at the discretion of the Qualifying Company to decide what is “representative”, i.e. an acceptable
difference between results from tests located in the prolongation and in the product itself.
