Complete Factory Transparency: Verify The Dedicated Plants & Quality Systems
Not every "manufacturer" advertised online owns real production equipment. Before you commit to an order, you should be able to confirm who you're actually buying from, and see the testing that stands behind every tube. Here's exactly how to verify TeCarve, book a live video audit, and review the testing and inspection every shipment goes through.
Two Real, Registered Dedicated Plants
TeCarve Tech Co., Ltd. (Hangzhou, established 2025). TeCarve is a specialized Chinese stainless steel piping solutions provider and the exclusive factory-direct export channel for two dedicated manufacturing plants in Foshan (welded & decorative tubing) and Wenzhou (seamless & precision tubing).
Exclusive export authorization letters from both plants are available for verification under NDA.

Book a Live Video Factory Audit
No flights required. We offer a scheduled, one-on-one live video factory audit over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or WhatsApp, at a time that works for you. A typical audit covers raw material storage, the two dedicated plants’ cold-drawing/piercing/welding production lines, the annealing heat-treatment workshop, a live PMI (Positive Material Identification) demonstration, and end-forming and packaging. Below are real photos from the Wenzhou plant's seamless-tube production line, the kind of equipment a video audit will show you in person.



See it yourself before you commit to an order.

Plant Testing on Every Order
| Test | Coverage | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Eddy current (NDT) | 100% of tubes | ASTM A1016 / EN ISO 10893-2 |
| Hydrostatic pressure | 100% of tubes; pressure per standard or order (test benches rated up to 20–30 MPa), 5–10s hold | — |
| Chemical composition (OES) | Every heat/lot | Cross-checked against mill certs |
| PMI (handheld XRF) | Every shipment batch | Prevents grade mix-ups |
| Dimensional | Every batch | Micrometer, thickness gauge, go/no-go gauges, laser + tape length check |
Heat exchanger tubes additionally undergo 100% flattening, flaring/expansion, and bend testing (plus reverse flattening for welded tube), confirming the tube won't crack during tube-sheet expansion in the field. Intergranular corrosion testing (ASTM A262 Practice E or A, or GB/T 4334) is available on request for austenitic and duplex grades.
Third-Party Inspection, When You Need It
For buyers who require independent verification, we've worked with SGS, Bureau Veritas, TÜV Rheinland, and Intertek, most often on oil & gas and heat exchanger export orders to Europe and the Middle East. A typical third-party inspection covers pre-shipment inspection (PSI), dimensional and visual sampling, wall-thickness re-check, on-site witness of hydrostatic/NDT testing, and container seal supervision, with an inspection certificate issued for that specific order.
Material Test Certificates (MTC)
Every order ships with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate as standard, issued by the producing facility's independent QC department and covering chemical composition and mechanical properties traceable to the production heat/lot.
For high-pressure, pressure-vessel, or specified engineering projects, an EN 10204 3.2 certificate is available on request: a customer-nominated third-party inspector witnesses sampling, mechanical testing, and non-destructive testing on-site, then co-signs the certificate alongside the facility's QC lead.
Standard Procurement & Trial Order Terms
Transparent commercial terms for standard tube orders, custom fabrication, and trial batches from the two dedicated plants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TeCarve a trading company or a real manufacturer?
TeCarve Tech Co., Ltd. — TeCarve is a specialized Chinese stainless steel piping solutions provider and the exclusive factory-direct export channel for two dedicated manufacturing plants in Foshan (welded & decorative tubing) and Wenzhou (seamless & precision tubing).
Can I see the factory before I place an order?
Yes. Book a live video audit, or request the standard audit checklist and supporting documentation first.
Do you provide third-party inspection?
Yes, on request, through SGS, Bureau Veritas, TÜV Rheinland, or Intertek.
How does a live video factory audit work?
After booking a time slot, our technical manager connects with you via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or WhatsApp video call. We guide you through the factory floor in real time, inspecting raw material storage, forming machinery, annealing furnaces, hydrostatic testing benches, and live PMI chemical testing demonstrations.
How do you prevent material mix-ups between grades like 304 and 316L?
The two dedicated plants verify incoming steel coil certificates from primary steel producers such as Tsingshan and TISCO. Optical emission spectrometry at the two dedicated plants verifies melt chemistry. Before dispatch, technicians perform PMI verification on every batch before shipment (piece-by-piece on request).
