Casting Impregnation
Towards an effective quality control standard
Institute of Impregnation Technology – About this Website
With this website, the IoIT seeks to promote quality in impregnation sealing of porous materials.
The Founder
The driving force behind the IoIT is Peter Young, who has been central to the development of Casting Impregnation. For more information, visit his Casting Impregnation website at www.casting-impregnation.com.
The Established Quality Standard is Dying
As a result of financial restrains, the US MIL-I-17563C covering the Quality Control of impregnation of porous metal components will not be updated. This places an even greater importance that the impregnation industry, both suppliers of Sealant and Equipment, Users and OEMs take the opportunity to build on the US Military foundation, a Quality Control Audit that embraces today's needs.
A New International Standard for Impregnation
This website has been created to institute a basis on which the excellence of impregnation technology can be enhanced. Its mandate is one of impartiality and transparency.
The focus is to create an International Specification for Quality, into which all participating parties have a responsible part to play. The impregnation Industry has come a long way in the last 30 years and has established a professional standing in industry but it remains fractured with many individual standards.
With this website, the Institute attempts to address some of these issues and place before you a set of rules by which a new standard can be established.
