Bright Annealed Tubing

Understand the difference between tubing and piping, also the tubing manufacturing processes (bright annealed vs pickled) and how these affect quality, ease of use, anti-corrosive properties, flexibility, cost effectiveness and more.

Tubing is the ideal choice for fluid and gas containment, particularly in high pressure and corrosive environments.

Tubing vs Pipe at a glance

SIMPLE, SAFE, LIGHTWEIGHT

process iconFEWER CONNECTION - Fewer individual components means fewer potential leak points, which can improve efficiency and reduce spills and fugitive emissions.

 

TIME SAVINGS - Not only do tubing systems offer easier installation, but tube bends can save operator time by eliminating the need to cut, deburr, and install a new fitting for every simple directional change. Also, there is ease of future maintenance compared to welded systems.

Flow iconLESS TURBULENCE - Bends allow fluids to flow more easily than through a series of multiple fittings.

location iconSMALLER FOOTPRINT - Tube bends and low-profile tubing allow a more compact system footprint and easier access to nearby equipment for maintenance.

pressure iconHIGHER TOLERANCE - Higher pressure up to 60 000 PSI (4034 Bar) and temperatures from cryogenic to 1100 °C.

Bright Annealed Tubing vs Pickled Tubing

RELIABLE, HIGH PRESSURE AND ANTI-CORROSIVE

Not all tubing is manufactured to the same specifications. Bright Annealed tubing sets the standard with its high chemical composition, corrosion resistance and superior sealing surface. This makes it the ideal product for all industries, especially in highly corrosive environments.

BENEFITS OF BRIGHT ANNEALED TUBING

material science iconPREN VALUES - Increased key chemical elements (Cr, Ni and Mo) for high mechanical strength, superior corrosion resistance and longer lifecycles.

manufactoring iconVALUE - Manufactured to stringent specifications, guaranteed quality and full certification supplied.

Growth process iconQUALITY - Top grade materials used in manufacturing, fully traceable and smooth, bright and scale free surface.

Control iconANTI-CORROSION / SEALING SURFACE - Higher resistance against pitting and crevice corrosion. Smoother surface area enhances the tube fitting sealing performance.

Tech Tips iconsRELIABLE - Above ASTM industry standards, reduced leaks and seamless supply chain.

pressure iconHIGH PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE - Higher pressure up to 60 000 PSI (4034 Bar) and temperatures from cryogenic to 1100 °C.
