Copper tube and HVACR – The perfect match

HVACR (heating, ventilation, air-con, and refrigeration) is arguably more important today than ever before. We’re having the hottest summer on record, showing just how many buildings in the UK are not equipped for very hot weather. At the same time, demand keeps growing for data centres, new housing, and infrastructure upgrades. So, there is a lot of attention on key systems, particularly when it comes to efficiency. Significantly, it is driving demand for copper tube. We want to have a closer look at that here, then you can rely on us if you need to arrange tube reduction and more for different types of metal tubes. Continue reading

A closer look at annealed aluminium tubing

Aluminium is one of the most impressive materials. It provides a really fantastic range of characteristics, including low density, malleability, excellent conductivity (thermal and electrical), and high corrosion resistance. It is also a green material, infinitely recyclable without a deterioration of the properties. If you plan on using it though, you need to think carefully about the type and condition; annealed aluminium tubing is best for a number of applications. Let’s have a closer look, then you can speak to us if you need to arrange services like tube drilling and bending for different projects. Continue reading

Clean machines and tooling provide better results

Accuracy is very important for tube swaging, bending, and other processes. If you can’t achieve tight tolerances, it can lead to massive problems. In the worst cases it could lead to leaks and failures. Additionally, it can increase the amount of scrap you generate. Most fabricators know the importance of maintenance to reduce the chance of a drop in accuracy, but fewer know how crucial it is to clean machines and tooling. Dirt and contamination can have a huge impact, so let’s have a look. Continue reading

We want to have a closer look at hydraulic tubes here; they are the best option for many scenarios. Then, if you need to arrange services like tube reduction and bending for the tubing, you can rely on us. Continue reading

Using the right stainless steel for food production

The UN and various other sources are predicting that the global population will continue to grow until it peaks at over 10 billion in the 2080s. It will continue to put pressure on key things such as food production. As a result, producers will need to up their game. Crucially, they will have to ensure they are using the right equipment. We can help with that, providing flexible services like tube manipulation to make various parts. Notably, we have experience with a long list of materials, including food grade stainless steel, titanium, aluminium, copper, and more. Continue reading

Be very careful with tube wall thinning

Tube bending services are a fantastic option for different types of tubing. With high quality benders, you can adapt the tubes efficiently and accurately. This provides big advantages over other options, including cutting and welding. However, you need to think about a number of key factors. One of the most critical is tube wall thinning. If you aren’t careful, it could result in serious issues in the future. Continue reading
