Merlin believes that by doing so, the performance between frame sizes is more consistent. Merlin is noted for its welds on its titanium frames. Certification is a fail-safe tracking system of quality control and continuous testing that follows the tubing as it is being manufactured. The MTS325 certification standards call for intermediate ultrasonic testing, which is usually omitted for non-aerospace tubing, and for more rigorous final ultrasonic testing and eddy current testing. These tests measure finish quality and dimensional accuracy, and if the tubing fails any test or inspection, we reject it.
Certification is our guarantee of the highest possible tubing quality and performance.
