MTR LIBRARY
Overview
The MTR LIBRARY is the centralized digital archive for all Material Test Reports associated with ACE Stainless products. Each MTR provides verified chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat traceability, manufacturing compliance, and specification validation.
ACE integrates directly with SmartCert — an industry-leading platform for secure, automated mill test report delivery, storage, retrieval, and supply-chain traceability. With this integration, customers experience instant access to documentation, improved quality validation, and zero manual paperwork handling.

Technical Structure
ACE Stainless uses a digitally enhanced MTR workflow powered by SmartCert. This ensures traceability, full transparency, and standardized documentation for every heat, batch, and received lot.
- MTR Data Included:
- Chemical composition vs ASTM spec
- Mechanical properties (yield, tensile, elongation)
- Heat number and batch traceability
- Manufacturing origin and melt source
- NDE/Testing (PMI, hydrotest, hardness, ferrite reading)
- Certification against A312, A403, A182, A270, A269, etc.
- SmartCert Platform Features:
- Instant MTR delivery upon shipment
- Secure cloud storage with permanent audit trail
- QR-code product tagging for mobile access
- Auto-indexing by PO, heat number, date, or product type
- Customer-specific document vaults
- Rapid sharing across departments or contractors
- Supporting Standards:
- ASME, ASTM, MSS, and ISO material traceability requirements
- API compliance for petrochemical documentation
- CGMP record-keeping for FDA-regulated plants
- 3.1/3.2 cert synchronization for European compliance
Applications
The MTR LIBRARY serves as a high-speed compliance and verification tool for engineers, inspectors, supply-chain managers, and fabrication teams. SmartCert integration allows instant retrieval from desktop or mobile, dramatically reducing document handling time.
- Job Documentation: Attach MTRs to project folders, AS-BUILT packages, and turnover books.
- QA & Inspection: Verify grade, heat, mechanical properties, and ASTM conformance.
- Field Verification: Access MTRs directly from mobile devices via SmartCert links.
- Procurement Accuracy: Confirm materials match print/spec requirements before installation.
- Fabrication & Welding: Validate material composition for WPS/PQR/WPQT compliance.
- Hobbyist & R&D: Ensures safe material selection for pressure vessels and prototypes.
