Most of the enquiries we quote fall into a handful of patterns. This page describes how those orders work — what the buyer sends us, how the material is sourced and checked, and what arrives at the port — so you can judge whether your own order fits one of them.
We do not publish customer names, project names or tonnages. That is the buyer’s information to publish, not ours. What we can show is the process.
Repeat stock replenishment
A distributor or stockist orders the same sizes every few months and needs the material to be identical each time. The specification stays on file, so each order is quoted at the same grade, wall and length, with the packing, marking and certificate format kept unchanged — the goods drop straight into the same bin.
Mill run against a project requisition
An EPC contractor or fabricator issues a material requisition with a fixed grade, wall thickness, length, end finish and certificate type. The item is matched to a mill that produces it to that specification, the delivery condition is confirmed, and the quotation is built line by line against the requisition — including the certificate the project calls for, EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2.
OCTG package consolidation
A drilling or well-service buyer needs casing, tubing, couplings, thread protectors and accessories on one order and one set of documents. The package is consolidated so that grades and connection types match across every item, and it ships together.
Mixed-size container consolidation
Several sizes of fittings, flanges or small-diameter pipe are needed, but no single size would fill a container on its own. The items are combined into one shipment against a single set of documents and one set of packing marks.
Sour service and low-temperature orders
Where the service is sour, or the design temperature is low, the grade and the test schedule are driven by the requirement rather than by price — NACE MR0175 for sour service, impact testing at the design temperature for low-temperature service. Grade, heat treatment and testing are confirmed against the requirement before anything is quoted.
Third-party inspected shipment
The buyer appoints an inspection agency, or sends an inspector, and release depends on that inspection rather than on the mill certificate alone. The inspection window is arranged with the mill while the order is in production, and shipment waits on the result.
What comes with every one of them
- Mill test certificate — showing the heat number, chemical composition and mechanical results, to EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 as specified
- Packing list and packing marks — agreed before shipment, matching the documents the goods travel with
- Inspection records — for any non-destructive, pressure or impact testing the specification required
What that covers in detail is on the quality control page.
Telling whether your order fits
Send the specification — a material requisition, a drawing, or a list of sizes with grades. We will come back with how we would source it, what the certificate and testing would be, and the price. If it is not something we can do well, we will say so rather than quote around it.
Who you would be buying from, and what we are accountable for on an order, is set out on about Mejor Steel; the documents that can travel with a shipment are listed under certifications and documents.
