Semi-finished products from Germany

in alloys CuNi10Fe1Mn, CuNi30Mn1Fe, CuNi10Fe1, 6Mn, CuZn20Al2As and CuZn28Sn1As, as well as SF-Cu. Tubes will meet all relevant standards, for example EN, ASTM, ASME, GHOST, BS and NFA. Eumet’s product range also includes tube-sheets and circular blanks/discs for these tubes, manu- factured in the same range of alloys.

Eumet Metallhandel GmbH specialises in providing semi-finished products in various sizes, qualities and alloys. The company’s core business is distributing copper tubes for different applications, suchasrefrigeration,airconditioning,and plumbing systems for domestic instal- lation as well as for electrical purposes. Available copper qualities include CW 024 A, CW 008 A / CW 009 A, CW 004 A and CW 021 A, with other qualities available on request. Two heads are better than one InspecTech Analygas Group has provided customised NDT solutions for the tubeandpipe industries for over 30 years. The company was recently challenged by a customer’s require- ment to nearly double the production rate on their off-line ultrasonic test system for API product. InspecTech modified their existing off-line ultrasonic weld line inspection system by adding a second mechanised test head to the existing gantry. An upgraded master control panel was designed and built as well, with improved logic to manipulate the dual test heads. The upgraded test cell meets the customer’s needs for additional test capacity at a fraction of the cost of a second complete test unit. With a dual test head inspection, one test head inspects two thirds of the tube length, while the second test head tests the remaining third, including the starting end of the tube. The InspecTech off-line ultrasonic weld line test system does not leave untested ends, thus providing 100% inspection. InspecTech has provided flaw detection systems using eddy current, flux leakage and ultrasonic technologies in on-line and off- line applications for international markets.

Tubes can be produced in accordance with standards EN, AENOR, AFNOR, KIWA, UNE or GASTEC. The company has customised its product range to meet customer requirements with composite tubes and pipes made from PE-RT and PE-X.
