Extruded Profiles
Rectangular and shaped sections, including near-net profiles, to meet design demands
*Please note that not all the alloys are available in all forms, weights and sizes.
Tubular
Stocks
Many standard pipe sizes are available from stock in Huntington WV (USA) and Hereford (UK), from the Special Metals Services locations in continental Europe, or from the independent distributors worldwide. Please ask for local details.
Manufacturing
Cold-worked seamless tubing is made by tube reduction (pilgering) or cold-drawing according to the alloy, size and finish required. As-extruded pipe and tube sizes are also available. Testing facilities include visual, hydraulic, ultrasonic, eddy current and boroscope examinations.
Size
Cold-worked seamless tubing is available in the 9.5 - 219 mm (3/8 - 8 5/8") O.D. range. As-extruded (hot-worked) tubing is available in the 50.8 - 254 mm (2 - 10") O.D. range.
Minimum Mill Quantities
Small batch quantities, 250 or 500 kg, can be offered for most tube sizes.
Complementary Products
Please inquire for complementary products such as U-bent tubing, internally finned tubing, high-quality seam-welded tubing, and fittings such as flanges, bends and elbows.
