PEASA was founded in Mexico in 1961 to produce carbon steel tubing, and later developed products such as flux tube, welded tube, fence tube, conduit tube, DOM tube (drawn over mandrel), aluminised and stainless steel tube. Today, PEASA produces quality drawn over mandrel tubing, and offers customers cut to length services (from 24mm up to 500mm). The company is part of a wide organisationbased inMexico (GIMGrupo Industrial Mexicano), which integrates nine manufacturing, commercial and service companies mostly related to plastics and steel products. The company’s modern manufacturing facility is located in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and offers state-of-the-art welding, forming and cutting technology. PEASA has invested millions of dollars in two laser welders that allow the company to reduce margins of error to a minimum. In PEASA’s process for producing DOM tubing, the tube is pointed and cold drawing is carried out by passing the tube through two tools of tungsten carbide.

Pressfitting system Eurotubi Pressfitting is a system of tubes and fittings used for hydrothermosanitary installations, recommended for the conveyance of water, gas and compressed air. The fittings present at the extremities the O-ring seating, where the rubber seal of high use resistance is allocated, able to support high pressures and temperatures over 85°C. Tubes and fittings are assembled through the permanent deformation of the fitting by special pressing jaws mounted on small electromechanical tools. Once pressed, the O-ring ensures a perfectly hermetical and non-divisible connection. The Pressfitting system combines reliability of joints with a quick and easy way of laying, as it does not need any gluing, threading or welding.
