A PRACTICAL BUYER GUIDE
The right questions before a quotation.
A clear purchasing brief makes product comparison easier. Start with the application, identify the specification you need, and keep the same requirements when reviewing different product options.
View the inquiry checklistStart with the application
Explain what the product will be used for and which requirements are mandatory. A product family name alone does not establish suitability for your project.
- Identify the intended medium and required operating conditions.
- Attach the relevant drawing or purchasing specification when available.
Match dimensions and connections
Use the same size system and connection specification across the items you compare. For a replacement part, send the dimensions and details of the mating connection.
- Specify nominal size and any critical dimensions.
- Identify the required thread, flange, groove or other connection details.
Compare the same scope
Check material, configuration, included parts and packing as well as the unit price. If alternatives are acceptable, state which details may change.
- Separate quantities by model and size.
- Ask for any missing specification before approving a selection.
Make the final selection explicit
Website images and family descriptions help you begin the discussion. Confirm the actual model, specification and order scope before purchase.
- Keep the agreed product reference and any drawing revision with the order.
- Confirm quantity, delivery requirements and commercial terms together.
