RE: Inspection over pipe fittings
Now please state your job title and work assignment.
Example:
A. Piping Material Engineer - Inspection of purchased material (such as Pipe, Valves and fittings)
or
B. Piping Field Engineer - Inspection of field installed piping systems by a sub-contractor.
etc
These two titles and job assignments will have different answers to your question.
So what are you and what are you supposed to do?
RE: Inspection over pipe fittings

2. The PO should call for a specific item (Elbow) manufactured to a specific "Standard".
Example: ASME/ANSI B16.9 - 2001 - Factory-Made Wrought Steel Butt welding Fittings
This Standard covers overall dimensions, tolerances, ratings, testing, and markings for wrought factory-made butt welding fittings in sizes NPS 1/2 through 48 (DN 15 through 1200).
3. You need to know and understand what that "Standard says. Hopefully have a copy of it with you. Do not expect the vendor to supply you a copy.
4. You need to do random checks of the specific points defined in the PO and the "Standard"
Example:
- Item (as defined on the PO)
- size
- quantity
- overall dimensions
- tolerances
- ratings
- testing
- markings
- any special instructions called for in the PO
RE: Inspection over pipe fittings
- Paint or finish (Primer or color code for material or site location)
- Marking or Tagging (Identification)
- Packing (Normal or Ocean shipping)
- Shipping Address
- Shipping method
