INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS WE FREQUENTLY WORK WITH

Selection of the applicable standard depends upon product type, customer specifications, engineering requirements and end-use applications.

TECHNICAL CONSULTATION & MATERIAL SELECTION

Selecting the correct material involves much more than calculating weight. Engineering applications, service conditions, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, applicable standards and commercial availability all influence the final selection.

Moon Shine Group supports customers by providing technical guidance during procurement, supplier evaluation and material selection across a wide range of industrial sectors.

  • ✔ Assistance in selecting suitable material grades
  • ✔ International standards guidance
  • ✔ Equivalent grade comparison
  • ✔ Manufacturer selection support
  • ✔ Procurement & sourcing assistance
  • ✔ Logistics & shipment planning
