Sourcing HRSG pressure parts from China can cut costs by 20–30% versus Western fabricators, but only if you qualify the supplier correctly. Here is what experienced procurement teams check before placing an order.
1. Verify ASME certification, not just claims
Ask for the ASME ‘S’ or ‘U’ stamp certificate and the certificate number. A genuine fabricator will provide it within hours. Cross-check the number on the ASME online directory.
2. Review welding procedure qualifications
HRSG pressure parts demand qualified WPS/PQR records for every material and thickness combination. Request sample documentation for a similar past project.
3. Confirm NDT capability in-house
Radiographic and ultrasonic testing should be performed in-house or by an accredited third party, with reports traceable to each weld. Outsourced, unverifiable NDT is a red flag.
4. Ask about export packing and sea freight experience
Pressure parts are heavy and dimensionally awkward. A fabricator that regularly exports will know how to secure loads for ocean transport and prepare documentation for customs clearance in your country.
