Quality

The American Petroleum Institute (API) specification Q1 and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specification 9001 serve as the foundation of the TSC, Inc. Quality Management System (QMS). As a licensed API processor/manufacturer, TSC, Inc. has undergone a comprehensive certification process which verifies that TSC, Inc. operates according to the specified API benchmarks for licensees. In fact, many of our testing, inspection and documentation procedures exceed API requirements.

As one of the original American Petroleum Institute (API) certified processors, TSC, Inc. has a long standing relationship with the API organization, and thoroughly understands the industry standards and recommended practices set forth by this institution. Our Quality Management System is designed to meet the requirements of specification API:Q1. API performs periodic audits of companies who participate in the licensing program. An API product specification must be followed in order to put the API monogram on every conforming joint. The API monogram is a warranty to our customers that the pipe conforms to the API specifications to which it is processed. For over 30 years our Quality Department has been deeply engrained in API.
