Welded tube - Import export

The welding process is one of the core ways in which we manufacture precision tubes. Our high-quality tubing starts off as a flat strip of metal. The strip is formed into a tube through a series of rollers and the join, also called the seam, is then welded together. Welded Processes Special non-destructive testing methods – including eddy current, ultrasonic and pressure testing - are used to ensure a consistent weld. Just like with seamless manufacturing, welded tubes can be drawn down by plug drawing or sinking. This method can be used to create very long lengths of coiled tube, these can also be measured during coiling using a laser measurement. The main welded tube manufacturing processes used are strip welding and cold drawing, but other important processes in between, or at the end of the drawing process, include Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Welded and redrawn tube manufacturing employs elements of both the welded and seamless processes. A welded and redrawn tube is welded in a conventional manner but then transferred to our seamless mill, located in the same factory. Here the product is redrawn to achieve a welded and redrawn finish. The objective of redrawing is to achieve homogenisation of the weld following annealing by cold working. This refines the structure of the weld resulting in improvements that include: Better corrosion resistance Improved fatigue life Higher mechanical integrity Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Stainless steel grades cover a wide range of compositions which result in the generation of a variety of microstructures and mechanical properties. This group of alloys is useful for the replacement of mild steel in structures and components. Stainless Steel tubes manufactured by Fine Tubes have an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, metallurgical stability and formabilityStainless steels are favoured because they are very cost effective. They also have an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, metallurgical stability, formability, and are easily welded. Their fabrication characteristics, good mechanical properties and attractive finished appearance make high quality stainless steel tubing a popular choice in a range of industries. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Durability and corrosive resistance are key criteria when it comes to precision thin wall tubing for industrial condensers. The tube mill at Superior Tube more than meets that requirement, and we supply products to a range of leading engineering companies. In the energy sector, our high quality stainless steel and nickel alloy condenser tubes are used for the cooling, heating or re-heating of fluids or gases within steam turbines that generate electricity. Condenser tubing products can be purchased from Superior Tube as seamless, welded or welded drawn tubes in a multitude of sizes ranging from 0.010” OD to 1.500” OD with wall thickness as light as .003” Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Fine Tubes leads the manufacture of precision tubes required in the fabrication of shell and tube heat exchangers. Our heat exchanger tubes are used for the cooling, heating, or re-heating of fluids, gases, or air in a diverse range of industries. Alloys Fine Tubes heat exchanger products are produced as seamless, welded or welded redrawn tubes in the following materials nickel alloys, stainless steels, duplex, super duplex. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Superior Tube is committed to improving healthcare options for patients, and to helping surgeons save lives. As such, we manufacture a range of specialized welded and seamless tubing products for various areas of the medical device industry, including cardiac stents. Stents are small, expandable tubes, usually made of metal mesh, and are used to treat narrowed or weakened arteries. In patients with coronary heart disease, stents are implanted in order to open narrowed arteries during a procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention, or angioplasty. Heart stents can also help relieve chest pain and aid in the prevention of heart attacks. Ever since our tubing was used in the earliest cardiac stent implants in 1987, Superior Tube has been an industry leader in the manufacture of implant grade tubing for both coronary and peripheral stents. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Heat exchangers – used to cool, heat or reheat fluids, gases and air – are an area that Superior Tube specializes in. We offer a range of products specifically meeting the demands of companies fabricating shell and tube heat exchangers. Our heat exchanger tubes are used in a wide range of industries such as chemical processing, hydrocarbon processing and oil refining, alternative energy, nuclear power generation and aerospace. The stainless steel and nickel alloys we manufacture are high strength, corrosive resistant alloys that maintain optimum performance in extreme conditions. Superior Tube heat exchanger products can be purchased as seamless, welded or welded and drawn tubes in a multitude of sizes ranging from 0.010” OD to 1.500” OD with wall thickness as light as .003” Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.
