Tubes for carrying hazardous materials

When you consider pipes that carry hazardous materials like chemicals, oil and even boiling water it is very important that they are free from leaks. Any issues raise the potential of an accident occurring and put people on and around the site at risk. When each section of pipe is manufactured it needs to be checked carefully to make sure there are no problems. Once installed it should be inspected again and a full monitoring and maintenance system needs to be put in place to oversee its condition.

One of the biggest potential causes of leaks in pipes is where sections are bolted together. The holes that bolts fit through need to be accurately sized and drilled perfectly to make sure they align. When drilling takes place it is important to make sure the material surrounding the hole isn’t damaged or weakened. It takes a great deal of precision to drill tubing effectively because of the curvature. The utmost care need to be taken to avoid problems.

Alongside the quality of the drilled holes it is also important to make sure there are no flaws in the material if you need it to be bent into shape. When tubing is bent you must take care to ensure the walls aren’t stretched too much; this can cause flaws and uneven thickness along the length of the tube.

Tube drilling and tube bending services should be done by experienced manufacturers, especially if the tubing is to be used to carry hazardous materials. We have the skills and expertise to make and manipulate tubing for many different applications. We can produce copper tubing for use in heating systems, food grade stainless steel, hydraulic tubing and use several other metals to make durable pipes to transport hazardous materials. We take quality very seriously and guarantee excellence at every stage of the manufacturing process, so make us your first choice for all the tube bending services you require.
