  • Material of Construction Verification
    • Rationale –

To verify that all assembly of PAM-PAC Blister Packing Machine  (BQS), has been manufactured as per the specification provided by the customer.

  • Test equipment –

Moly testing unit (To identify 304 or 316 materials)

  • Procedure –
    • Put a drop of Molybdenum solution on the material to be tested.
    • Take battery & keep anode at one end of the material and cathode at Moly drop.
    • If the solution turns pink and stays for around one minute, then it is SS316 & if the solution turns pink and immediately vanishes, then it is SS304.
  • Acceptance Criteria
    • All material of construction for the PAM-PAC Blister Packing Machine (BQS), shall meet the MOC provided in Design Qualification.
    • Material other than SS316 and SS304 are verified based on their material testing certificates provided by the Manufacturer.
