having a long history and a total capability. Throughout the processes and operations of Nippon Steel’s integrated steel pro-
duction, exacting production control and quality assurance systems are in effect. Every
pipe produced by the company must be certified as having met all the specified quality
requirements before it is shipped from the mill. Examples of our pipe manufacturing
methods include: (1) computer-aided production control and quality control of all opera-

tions, from raw materials handling to shipment of finished products; (2) employment of
the latest advances in technology for the manufacture of pipe having the exact quality
to suit specific needs and applications; and (3) inspection systems so designed as to
meet particular purposes, as exemplified by the extensive and effective use of nonde-
structive testing equipment such as ultrasonic, eddy-current, X-ray and magnetic
testers.
AII incoming orders are processed at the company’s Tokyo head-quarters. Orders
Muroran Works are input into a computer, which specifies the quality of each product to suit the intend-
ed use, then dispatches this data to the computer at the steel mill which is best posi-
tioned to handle the manufacture of the products. Given the quality design, the mill per-
forms the process design based on the materials best suited to meet the quality
requirements of the order.
