What we supply

Everything for the wetted stainless loop — pipe, butt-weld fittings, and the lap-joint flange sets that keep only stainless and gasket in contact with the coolant.

01 · PIPE

316L stainless pipe

Welded or seamless austenitic pipe, pickled and passivated, bevelled and ready for orbital or manual GTAW.

  • Size rangeDN25 – DN300
  • Wall (≤DN150)≥ 1.6 mm
  • Wall (DN200–DN300)≥ 2.0 mm
  • OD tolerance± 1.5 mm
  • FinishPickled + passivated
02 · FITTINGS

Butt-weld fittings

Wrought 316L fittings matched to pipe wall — long-radius elbows, equal tees, concentric reducers and caps.

  • Elbows90° / 45° LR
  • TeesEqual & reducing
  • ReducersConcentric
  • Wall= pipe wall
  • EndBevelled, butt-weld
03 · FLANGES

Lap-joint flange sets

Van-Stone arrangement: a 316L angle-face ring butt-welded to the pipe, with a loose galvanised backing flange — only stainless and gasket touch the fluid.

  • Wetted ring316L stub / angle-face
  • Backing flangeGalvanised steel
  • GasketReinforced neoprene
  • Class150 / 300 to suit
04 · ANCILLARY

Gaskets & bolting

Matched consumables to complete the demountable joints — reinforced neoprene gaskets and stainless bolt sets, packed by joint.

  • GasketsReinforced neoprene
  • BoltingStainless bolt sets
  • Threaded valves≤DN50 female BSP
  • PackingKitted per joint

Pipe schedule & pressure basis

Wall thickness is set by size; test pressure is 1.5× design or 1 MPa, whichever is greater. Confirm the governing figures against your project mechanical specification.

Why source through us

Built for the build programme

Surge and overflow supply when OEM lead-times and grid-connection dates don't line up.

Surge & overflow capacity

Bridge the gap between specified dates and OEM lead-times with stock-backed, mill-direct supply sized to your programme.

Container-optimised logistics

Thin-wall stainless cubes out before it weighs out — we load and cost 40 ft containers by volume, with a live BOQ per shipment.

Certified & traceable

Mill certificates, heat traceability, passivation and an inspection & test plan — the document set that gets goods released and paid.

Ready to weld

Bevelled, capped and cleaned to keep bores dry in transit — pipe and fittings arrive fabrication-ready for orbital or manual GTAW.
