Tufcot has a number of important accreditations and memberships to ensure that we can offer our customers the absolute best in both quality and service.
DNV Approved
We developed our in-house testing facilities to become a DNV type approved supplier of Rudder and Rudder Pintle bearings for our grade T100 Marine material.
We have also recently achieved DNV approval for Propeller Shaft Bearings.
Our material is suitably equipped to deal with harsh conditions posed by the marine environment.
To obtain DNV approval, our manufacturing processes had to comply with DNV’s classification rules and further relevant standards. This was done during a test program supervised by a DNV surveyor.
Obtaining this certification allows our customers to have confidence in Tufcot and our grade T100 Marine material.
Lloyds Approved
Tufcot has invested heavily in order to achieve Lloyds approvals for the Marine sector.
Tufcot is an approved supplier of Rudder and Rudder Pintle bearings via the Lloyds Register for our grade T100 Marine.
Now Tufcot has this accreditation it will allow our current and new customers to have the confidence to promote the Tufcot material as a material that has achieved accreditation status.
Below are some of the key benefits that the accreditation will bring:
- Test figures allowed the approval to be at a maximum pressure of 10N/mm².
- A key promotion of the Tufcot brand.
- Offer a stock list of T100 Marine tubes which will be available for same day delivery at an agreed price.
