f there is such a thing as a basic tube, it would be made of
stainless steel. However, as a glance at a few tubemakers’
websites will attest, the casual designation is not so easily
defended.
Typically, a company will group its product list under simple
headings: welded and drawn, seamless drawn, As-welded. But
from that point on the word ‘basic’ loses meaning. The number and
variety of products on offer – like the number and variety of their
applications – are impressive, even overwhelming.
Fortunately, the number and variety of experts in the design and
operation of the machinery and peripheral equipment of stainless
tube manufacture are more than a match for the heavy demands
put on them.
The companies reviewed in this section of
Tube & Pipe Technology
know that each grade of stainless steel tubing is unique – in
marked contrast to the uniform conditions of the tubemaker’s
outside world. Here, every competitor is keen, the lead times are
all short, the standards to be met are tougher almost by the day,
profitability is paramount.
