Capabilities
Because we are a manufacturer, rather than just a stockist, we can make product to your exact size and tolerance requirements and because we hold a large raw material inventory we can react quickly.
Guide for Tube Dimensions
| Maximum diameter |
80 to 150 mm (depends on alloy) |
Minimum diameter |
0.5 mm |
| Maximum straight length |
7000 mm (under review) |
Minimum length |
3 mm |
| Maximum coil length |
Depends on diameter – from 5 m to 500 m |
We review our capabilities in line with customer requirements and endeavour to upgrade our equipment as and when the market dictates. These capability guidelines should be taken as just that: guidelines only. We have a long and unique history of tube manufacturing and have successfully produced the most difficult tube products. Necessity is the mother of invention!
