Petek Boru Sanayi has been
involved in the production and
coating of carbon and stainless
steel pipes and fittings, and the
production of polyethylene pipes
and fittings, since 1979.
The company’s spirally welded
steel pipes production line can
manufacture pipes between 8"
and 48" (219.1-1,219mm) diameter
range and 3.2-12.7mm wall
thickness, via continuous on-line UT (ultrasonic test) control. Current production
capacity is 15,000 tons per year.
Carbon and stainless steel elbows and reducers between diameters ½" and
8" are produced at the company’s fittings unit. All wall thicknesses between
Sch 5 and Sch 80 are stress relieved. For fittings items between 10" and 48" in
diameter, segmented welding (mitre) method is used. Pipes between ½" and 6"
diameters are also threaded and coupled in this unit.
The company has EN 10217-1 and ISO 9001-TUV SUD certifications and can
produce according to ASTM A-53 standards. The company has also started
building a new 40,000m2 facility in Sakarya, Turkey, to increase its production
capacity.
Petek Boru’s manufacturing programme includes: spirally welded steel pipes
(carbon steel and stainless steel); fittings (carbon steel and stainless steel),
including elbows, tees and reducers; coatings and linings of pipes (polyethylene
coating, fusion bonded epoxy coating and lining, solvent-free epoxy coating
and lining, bitumen coating, concrete lining, and thermal insulation); HDPE 100
polyethylene pipes and fittings; chimney pipes; victaulic pipes; sigur-headed
pipes; and threading and coupling.
In addition to its manufacturing activity, the company sells seamless pipes and
fittings, ductile iron pipes and fittings, sewage pipes, irrigation pipes, natural
gas and petroleum pipes, boiler pipes, construction pipes, rectangular and
square sections, and cold drawn pipes. The company exports 30% of its annual
production and sales turnover.

Parker Instrumentation has signed a
five-year preferred supplier agreement
for tube fittings with international oil and
gas company Maersk Oil in Denmark.
The agreement, which runs until 2012,
marks the start of a new phase in the
relationship between the two companies,
and is expected to provide a logistical
model for the companies’ partnership
worldwide.
To support the agreement, Parker
Instrumentation has opened a new
Supplying tube fittings to oil producer
products centre in Esbjerg, close to
Maersk’s headquarters and at the heart
of the region’s offshore industry. This
will supply Maersk direct, giving the
company the benefits of a short and
responsive supply chain.
Maersk Oil is an independent oil and
gas producer, and a pioneer of technical
solutions to the challenges posed by
the North Sea. The new agreement
covers the supply of A-Lok compression
tube fittings, but the centre is already
receiving enquiries for a wide range
of components, including the new-
generation high-integrity manifolds and
valves designed and manufactured
at Parker Instrumentation’s UK
headquarters.
“A shorter, tighter supply chain is
increasingly important to our customers,”
commented Dorthe Pedersen of Parker
Instrumentation Denmark. “ We already
have a global supply chain in place
to support key areas in the offshore
industry. This new ‘proximity’ strategy
goes one step further, allowing us to
provide an extremely responsive service
while helping our customers simplify
purchasing and streamline inventory.”
