Superlit Boru San AS, established in 1961, is a manufacturer and exporter in the pipe sector. In its modern factories, equipped with the latest technology and located in Turkey and Romania, the company manufactures pressure/ non-pressure glass fibre reinforced polyester (GRP) pipes and fittings (such as elbows, ‘Y’ branches, tees, flanged ends and reducers), which are used for land and submerged applications in diameters up to 3,500mm. Superlit produces GRP pipes both with continuous filament winding (CFW) and centrifugal casting (CC) technologies, in full compliance with all national and international standards, with nominal diameter (DN) 300-3,500mm, nominal pressure (PN) 0-40 bar and nominal stiffness (SN) 1,250-10,000 N/m 2 (Pa). The company’s GRP pipes are used for main and distribution lines of potable water systems, sewage and wastewater lines, cooling systems of power stations, submerged pipelines for seawater intake and discharge, hydroelectric power plant lines, rain water infrastructure lines, irrigation, pipe jacking and relining applications. Since the company’s GRP pipe is approximately a quarter the weight of steel pipe and a tenth the weight of concrete pipe, installation is easier and faster. Superlit GRP pipes are characterised by long life (minimum 50 years) and low maintenance costs, do not require cathodic protection, and GRP pipes and fittings

show high chemical resistance without any need for additional protection.

Full-face couplings manufactured by Superlit enable angular deflection up to 3°, allowing change of direction without additional fittings, and guarantee leak proofing under high pressure/vacuum or at gravity. Couplings are not polluted from groundwater and are fully resistant to root intrusion. In addition to manufacturing GRP pipe, Superlit provides services such as consultancy on project design, consultancy and training for job site applications (such as excavation, trench preparation, EPDM

bedding, etc), and for loading/ unloading, pipe laying and repair, and can serve as a turnkey contractor, if required. Superlit manufactures glass fibre S S reinforced polyester pipes

Copper capillary tubes Feinrohren SpA, Italy, produces copper capillary tubes and copper tubes. The company’s copper capillary tubes are used for the production of domestic and industrial refrigerators and air-conditioners, thermostats and thermometers, and are produced according to EN 12450 standard or Feinrohren Technical Specifications, in commercial coils from 30 to 120kg or in straight lengths.

The company’s pipes are light in weight, ▼ ▼ making them easier to install

Capillary tubes from Feinrohren SpA S S

The company’s new Cosmos product line for copper capillary includes a number of variations. Cosmos Green Cu-DHP copper capillaries for refrigeration and air-conditioning circuits feature guaranteed flow-rate tolerances and internal residues and humidity below 50% of the EN 12450 standard, and provide constant performance for energy savings. Cosmos Tin provides anti-corrosion external protection, with perfectly concentric tin plating, homogeneous external tin surface, constant tin thickness plating and tin thickness value on demand. Cosmos Zinc is produced with controlled external zinc protection plating, ensuring safety in aggressive environments.

Feinrohren SpA is also a producer of tubes in LWC coils for industrial applications, sanitary tubes and coated copper tubes.
