ASIG insist on "high strength and high quality" products and services that always meet or exceed the desires, requirements, and expectations of customers. Our quality statement is distributed to our board, management and staff. Procedures and practices that affect product quality are formally documented and controlled.
We offer a range of gaskets according to the customers’ requirements, and have an experienced technical team that are designing and testing gasket profiles both in our laboratories and specialized laboratory centers to achieve a high performance and quality assurance. All designs are verified by testing in required conditions.
ASIG’s tunnel segment gaskets are being used successfully in subway tunnels and water transferring systems. TSGs meet international standards of ASTM and STUVA procedures in which some standards are according to the requirements of ISO/IEC-17025.
Gaskets profiles have been verified both in in-house laboratories and Razi Metallurgical Research Center (RMRC)1. The following tests have been done on the gaskets:
