Precision Chemical Cleaning

Precision Chemical Cleaning is the process of removing microscopic contaminants in manufactured pipes, tubes, fittings, etc. By removing these contaminants, TMC provides the space, aviation and military and defense industries with safe and quality products. Our services within this division include low and high-pressure jet cleaning and hydrostatic testing that can be performed in-house or on-site at our customers’ facilities.

TMC is ISO9001:2015 and AS9100D certified, meeting the service challenge by cleaning components (valves, tanks, fittings, cylinders, parts, etc.), various gas tubing supply lines and piping systems. We are registered as a veteran-owned small business with the System for Award Management (SAM).

TMC precision cleaning and testing expertise includes passivation of Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel (with both Citric and Nitric Acid), precision cleaning to most aerospace specifications, proof / pressure testing by both pneumatic (up to 25K psi) and hydrostatic methods (up to 50K psi), helium leak testing, vacuum bake-out and other services directly related to precision cleaning.

TMC services range from commercial oxygen clean to ultra-high purity processing. We provide analysis for particles and non-volatile residue on most any material, including:

  • Stainless Steel
  • Carbon Steel
  • Aluminum
  • Titanium
  • Inconel / Monel
  • Modern Composites

TMC also provides specialized packaging of cleaned and tested hardware in the clean room environment.

In addition, we employ a mobile fleet of vehicles capable of providing precision cleaning & testing services at our customer’s location(s) for larger vessels and systems.

TMC also offers SME consulting / design services for precision cleaning methods and considerations.

Testimonials

TMC’s willingness to assist and also work in a safe manner was greatly appreciated

TMC recently cleaned three large forged vessels that will be used for helium storage at our facility. These vessels have not been in service in years, and had a lot of build up and contaminants on the inside. Throughout the entire cleaning process, Jason Bailey communicated with our team on how the cleaning process was going. Jason sent us numerous photos to show the amount of contaminants that they were removing from these vessels. These photos helped us relay to the NASA customer just how dirty these tanks were. Once TMC completed the cleaning process and delivered the vessels back to our facility, the two employees who delivered the vessels assisted us in off loading and setting these vessels. Each vessel weighed approximately 4,000 lbs., so this was a critical heavy lift operation we were having to perform in off loading and setting them in place. Both employees helped rig the vessels and helped spot the heavy lift. They were a huge help to our team, and their willingness to assist and also work in a safe manner was greatly appreciated.
