 The requirement of this document are intended as minimum guideline for visual
Inspection with the objective of customer satisfaction.
 This instructions may be applied to the standard practices.

2. Scope:
 It covers Dents, Damages, Burrs, Thread formations, Chamfers, Corrosion & FOD
in Final inspection to minimize visual aesthetics appearances requirements.

3. Responsibilities

Primary: Inspector
Secondary: Quality Lead

4. Personal Qualification:

 All Personnel performing work shall have a qualification level that has satisfy the
requirements of customer and Part of quality.
 All personnel shall have passed the Visual Acuity and Color Contrast Eye Examination
once in a Year.

5. Applicable Specifications and documentation:

7. Definitions:

Visual Inspections:

All parts are subjected to visual inspections. Visual inspection are surface discontinuity
which can be observed without magnification or aid, which may indicate the presence of
surface flaws.

1. Dents:
An impression on surface of the part, which is shallow, compared to its minimum surface
dimensions and has smooth edge and rounded bottom such imprint of the still ball.

2. Scratches:
A shallow, narrow appearances on the surface as a caused by a sharp object moving lightly
along the surface.

3. Nicks:
A gouged depression with steep side “V” impression in the bottom such as imprint made by a
sharp object, not interrupted as a crack or is crack like.

4. Discoloration:
A noticeable changes in color from the adjacent area of the surface. The Discoloration may
be the result one or more of the following,
a. A defect, such as a material flow
b. A previous process
c. Contaminations, such as corrosion or Dirt.

5. Corrosion:
The metal surface are oxidized, damaging the entire surface due to the environmental
condition like Humidity
Pitting corrosion occurs when the cathode (damaged coating) is large and the anode
(exposed metal) is small.

6. Burrs:
A burr is a raised edge or small piece of material that remains attached to a workpiece after
a machining process. It is usually an unwanted piece of metal.

7. FOD (Foreign Object Debris):

Any object or substance found in an inappropriate location that, as a result of being in that
location, can damage equipment.

6. Procedure:

1. Visual inspection of an Inside & Outside surface including to detect apparent visual
imperfections such as a pit marks, Blow holes, pin holes, dents, cuts FOD’s and other
visually detected imperfection.

2. Burrs, other edges to be checked for deburring as per drawing and customer part
quality requirements.

3. Internal surface examination shall cover entire inside surface can be adequately
examined by the inspector using light source.

4. All threading should be cleaned thoroughly ensuring that no threading burr, dirt or
cleaning materials on the threads.

5. For Long bore or hole and interconnection holes inspection use borescope.

6. Inspect for imperfections on the face, chamfer, Internal & external threads. Use thread
gauge to detect machining errors.

7. Mark all imperfections located on the ID, OD and surfaces shall be evaluated with
whatever inspection tool that gives best determination of actual cause.

8. Visual inspection of the parts to be inspected and assessed by comparing with master
part accepted by Customer.

9. Parts shall be cosmetically representative of quality workmanship based on such

Factors as inspection experience with parts previously accepted or rejected from
Customers and/or unusual variation from normal appearance.
