The importance of specifying the right pipework
Hot vs Cold
Not all Tubes are the same
Hot-formed products are technically superior to cold-formed alternatives, which can suffer from a range of issues that impact installation and service life performance. Our UK technical team provide free training and specification reviews to ensure such differences are understood and project risks are reduced. Visit www.tatasteelconstruction.com/hotvscold for details.
Fit-for-purpose
Reliability and durability
By using our superior hot-formed carbon steel tubes, you can be assured of an unrivalled level of reliability and durability in use, as well as compliance with all the latest relevant legislative and specification requirements. Carbon steel does not need special storage or handling practices compared to stainless steel alternatives.
Welded vs seamless
Giving you more
Our Hot-formed Part 2 welded carbon steel tubes are an ideal cost-effective substitute for comparable seamless products, delivering a range of technical advantages including improved ovality, wall thickness consistency and end matching. Seamless tubes are typically imported, whereas our welded tubes are made in the UK with UK made steel.
