including stainless steel (eg 316L and Duplex), titanium alloys and nickel alloys. The company has a Chinese subsidiary, Butting (Shanghai) Co Ltd, which has recently won an order from TGE Gas Engineering GmbH for a Japanese shipyard. Butting Shanghai received the order to provide and install the pipework for an ethylene-tanker, and the Butting- Chinese team took on the complete prefabrication process. This is the second order for the young Chinese subsidiary from the sophisticated Japanese end customer. In 2006, Butting China successfully managed to complete the first project to build an LPG tanker for the shipyard. Butting China carried out these orders with pipes delivered from Butting in Germany, which are manufactured from the material TP 316 or TP 316L in the range from DN 25 to DN 400. To ensure extensive value creation, high-grade semi-products are used in production, with planning and design undertaken on CAD software. These products were shipped from Germany to China and delivered to TGE. Butting China will carry out the complete prefabrication of all pipework, whereby the pipes and fittings are added. In order to fulfil the requirements for pipe classes with a pressure test and 100% x-ray test, Butting China had to demonstrate its expertise in welding techniques. The execution of the welding joints was carried out according to welding instructions (WPS) and valid procedural tests (PQR), prepared and supported by Butting, Germany. Prefabrication and the subsequent acceptance of the prefabricated pipe parts took place according to the
