Dimensions
List critical OD/ID or section dimensions, wall or plate thickness, finished length and hole positions. Agree datums, tolerances and the measurement method.
DIRECT FROM THE WORKSHOP / PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
Carbon Fibre Samples & Inspection Planning
Agree what will be measured, how the part will be used and what a successful sample needs to demonstrate.
Discuss your requirements ↗Define acceptance before the sample.
Appearance & workmanship
Identify visible faces, finish, weave direction, cut ends and allowable cosmetic variation. Record the agreed reference sample where appropriate.
Assembly & performance
Check mating parts, clamps, inserts and joints. Any strength, stiffness or durability requirement needs an agreed verification method.
A practical sample review.
1. Confirm the drawing revision, material and construction proposed for the sample.
2. Agree sample quantity, cost, lead time and the checks to be recorded.
3. Review dimensions, workmanship and fit against the agreed criteria. Record deviations and required changes.
4. Confirm the approved specification and any repeat checks before placing the batch order.
Ask for evidence that matches the order.
If you need material documentation, traceability, dimensional records or independent test reports, specify that requirement before quotation. Availability, scope and cost must be confirmed for the actual part; a generic catalogue value is not a test result for your component.
For a concern after delivery, provide the order reference, drawing revision, affected quantity, photographs and measurements. Keep the affected parts available for review and agree the next action.
Prepare the specification.
LET’S MAKE IT CLEAR.
