How to Check Steel Quality
You can test if steel is good in different ways. It depends on what type, grade, and specifications the steel has. Some usual methods include:
Chemical Composition Test
This test checks what stuff is in the steel and how much of it there is. Then, it compares the results with what’s considered normal. By doing this, we can find out if the steel is good quality, strong, and resistant to rust.
Mechanical Property Test
This test checks how strong the steel is and how much it can stretch before breaking. It also shows if the steel can handle being bent or hit without getting damaged.
Visual Inspection
To check if the steel is good, we look at it closely for any problems like cracks, dents, or rust. This is called a visual inspection. We also make sure it’s the right size and shape and weighs what it’s supposed to.
Another way to test steel is called non-destructive testing. We use special tools like ultrasound or magnets to check inside the steel for any hidden issues without breaking it. This helps make sure the steel is safe to use.

Steel is super important in Pakistan for building strong things. Knowing about steel prices, types, companies, and how to check quality can help everyone make better decisions when using steel.
