DELPHI FITTINGS
Quality Isn't a Slogan. It's Our 5-Step Factory Process.
Any supplier can talk about quality. We prove it on the factory floor. Here’s a straight-up look at how we build hydraulic fittings that don't fail.
Our Philosophy: Control the Process, Control the Part.
At our factory, quality isn't a final inspection - it's the first thing we think about. We know the fittings we make are going into your critical systems, and a single failure can cost you a fortune in downtime, repairs, and reputation. We take that responsibility seriously. That's why our entire manufacturing process, from checking the raw steel that comes in the door to the final count in the shipping box, is built around one principle: owning every step.
We machine everything to the letter of the international standards - SAE, DIN, BSP, JIC. You can be damn sure that when you order a part, it will fit and perform exactly as it's supposed to. That's not a promise; it's a guarantee backed by a process you can see for yourself.
The Paperwork to Back It Up
We are an ISO 9001:2015 certified factory. For us, that's the starting line, not the finish line. This certificate is the third-party proof that we have a serious, repeatable quality management system in place. It tells you we don't just wing it; we have documented processes for everything we do, a commitment to getting better, and a focus on making sure the part you get is the part you ordered.
When you're vetting a new supplier, this is the first thing you should ask for. It’s the baseline proof that you're dealing with a professional operation, not a fly-by-night outfit.
Our 5-Step Quality Gauntlet
Every single fitting we make goes through this process. No exceptions. It’s how we find and fix problems before they ever get near your loading dock.

Step 1: Raw Material Inspection
We don't trust our steel suppliers' paperwork. Every batch of raw bar stock that comes in gets hit with our Spectrometer to verify its chemical makeup. If the steel isn't right, it doesn't even make it onto the rack.

Step 2: In-Process CNC Checks
Our operators are constantly checking parts as they come off the CNCs. We use profilometers, digital calipers, and thread gauges right at the machine to make sure every dimension, thread, and surface finish is dead-on spec.

Step 3: In-House Plating Control
This is a big one. We run our own zinc-plating line. We control the chemistry and the process to ensure a tough, consistent coating. We then test the parts in our Salt Spray Chamber to make sure they'll stand up to rust.

Step 4: Final Inspection
Finished parts get a final, rigorous shakedown. This includes 100% visual checks for any defects, thread gauge verification, and hardness testing. Nothing gets boxed until it passes.

Step 5: Shipment & Packaging QC
The last step is to make sure the right parts get in the right box. We double-check every order for accuracy and inspect the packaging to ensure your fittings arrive in perfect shape, not rattling around loose.
Advanced Testing Equipment for Precision Assurance
To support our rigorous quality control processes, Delphi Fittings invests in a comprehensive suite of advanced testing equipment operated by trained technicians. This allows us to perform detailed analysis and verification throughout the manufacturing cycle. Our key testing capabilities include:
- Elemental Analysis Spectrometer
- Metallurgical Microscope
- Surface Roughness Tester
- Profilometer
- Vickers Hardness Tester
- Rockwell Hardness Tester
- Ultrasonic Flaw Detector
- Composite Imaging System
- Electrical Flash Tester
- Salt Spray Test Chamber
- Thread Ring & Plug Gauges
- Precision Calipers & Micrometers
This Is How We Build a Better Fitting.
This isn't just about passing an audit. This is about building a supply chain you can count on, backed by a process you can see. If you're tired of taking chances on quality, talk to the factory that doesn't.
