Quality and Service ... our primary goals!

S.P.C (Statistical Process Control) ... Quality for our Customers

In a continued effort to provide quality products, Doral Steel operates in accordance with industry standards. We believe that an ongoing, constantly monitored Quality Control Program is critical to the successful operation of our plant.

Our S.P.C Policies and Procedures Manual supports this philosophy. The S.P.C. program at Doral is more then just a policy manual... it consists of Quality Teams of employees from each department who meet weekly to monitor all quality systems. We encourage both customers and mill audit teams to observe for themselves what quality can be ...

At Doral we are striving to be the best! Test Procedures Second to None! Although all mills provide certification with their steel, we at Doral Steel continue to test our inventory to ensure perfection for our customers. Our state-of-the-art Testing Laboratory includes the following:

  • SPECTROMETER - this equipment test the chemical make up of the steel.
  • ROCKWELL - coupons from each coil in the plant are tested for hardness.
  • OLSON - a device for testing ductility of steel.
  • TENSILE - to determine the yield, tensile and and elongation of the steel.
  • COATING THICKNESS TESTER - for customers requiring a certain ounce/square foot of coating on their product, we can test coating weight as well.

The ability to offer the above mentioned testing procedures makes Doral unique among Steel Service Centers.

Class l Quality ... Critical Surface Inspection and more!

Major steel mills require stringent inspection procedures. The
role of the Service Center is extremely important, after all, we are
the last "eyes" to see the steel before it goes direct to the end user!
With that in mind, we have taken even further steps to assure
quality ...

All our Class l slitting processes are viewed under a green inspec-
tion light by a trained operator.

We also rely on the information provided by the Gamma Ray. A
graph of the thickness of a coil, from beginning to end, can easily
be obtained with this equipment upon request.

We also maintain a climate controlled warehouse which reduces
the possibility of moisture accumulation.
