OUR STAINLESS STEEL TUBE MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Hygienic Tube is longitudinally welded through an automatic TIG welding process with no addition of filler material. Tube with diameters of 31.8mm and above are internally cold worked with the internal weld beaded to the internal tube surface. Tube with diameters of 25.4mm and below are in an as welded condition and internal weld height is controlled to a minimum height as per AS 1528.1. Tube is formed in small stages at comparatively slower speeds to minimise work hardening, allowing the formed tube to be more easily bent or manipulated. The first stage of polishing is performed on-line. Mill lengths are all end deburred on the run out table and final QC checks are performed at this time. Polishing is completed off-line before linemarking with our identification, the standard, heat and works numbers. The tube is then sleeved and packed, ready for dispatch to our distribution centres.
