Cutting
We operate 4 automatic band saws to cut tubes with diameters up to 762mm (30"). Larger diameter tubes, up to 2,500mm OD (100"), are flame cut.
Our standard cutting tolerances are +/- 3mm (0.120") for saw cutting and - 0mm/+ 15mm (0.625") for flame cutting. We can, if necessary, work to tighter tolerances.

Welding
Fully qualified welders routinely fabricate tubes in long lengths (up to 32m) by means of one or more circumferential welds. Sheet piles, flanges, brackets etc. can also be welded to the tubes.
Copies of our welder's qualifications and of our standard welding procedures can be supplied. If requested, we seek to work to our customer's welding procedures.

Shot-blasting
We clean the outside surface of pipes with diameters up to 1000mm (40") with our automatic shot-blaster. For larger pipe sizes, or cleaning the inside of pipes, we use hand held equipment.

Painting and coating
We apply most paints and coatings in house, from simple water-based primers through to glass flakes epoxy coating systems.

Inspection and Testing
We sell non-prime steel tubes that do not carry the customary prime products certification. Our customers or their agents are encouraged and welcomed to visit our premises to inspect the goods we offer.
We often arrange for material analysis or tests on behalf of our customers. These are carried out by independent UKAS registered laboratories or by customer nominated agents.
