Ensuring leak proof joints on water pipe cooling systems

One of the biggest risks with water pipe cooling systems is leaks. Even a tiny leak can cause huge issues. For example it will waste resources so you need to use more water. In addition it can result in big safety concerns, especially if hot water is leaking or the fluid can damage the facility and systems. The leak can also affect the performance of the cooling system as a whole. Continue reading

Why is water so useful for cooling?

Water pipe coolingMany industries rely on one kind of cooling system or another. It could be a simple loop to cool electrical equipment or a complex solution for oil and gas production. Either way, the key thing to remember is that it must effectively remove heat from components. There are lots of options in terms of the coolant. However, water pipe cooling tends to be the most common choice. There are several reasons why. Continue reading

Heat transfer efficiency with water pipe cooling systems

Heat can be a big concern in a number of industries. For example it could be power generation, manufacturing, chemicals, or one of many others. In each case the goal is to remove heat effectively from a process or piece of equipment. Water pipe cooling systems can allow this. They can supply cold water that can absorb heat and therefore cool essential components. Continue reading

Think about springback when you are rolling rings

When you work with tubing as often as we do, you learn what it takes to deliver the best results. The one variable we keep a very close eye on is springback. Failing to account for it can mean a final product is wrong. It can also mean spending more time on reprocessing. The best option, whether it is tube ring rolling or standard bending, is to get it right first time. Continue reading

Deburring after tube drilling

There are many reasons why someone may want to drill a hole in a piece of tubing. It could be to create a specific product like a heat exchanger or silencer. Or, it may be simply to mount a section of tube to create something like a handrail. Sometimes tubes need to be held in place so they can’t move around. This is common with plumbing. In any case, accuracy is very important with tube drilling. Continue reading

What tube end finish do you want?
