We are serving markets where we can demonstrate technological leadership, such as:

Oil & Gas: Fine Tubes are used in the most challenging subsea and downhole conditions in seawater and sour oil well environments. Materials used are Austenitic, Super Austenitic, Duplex, Super Duplex, Titanium and Nickel Alloys. Seamless tubes are used for hydraulic and instrumentation applications, in onshore control panels, topside processing facilities, on subsea manifolds and templates up to 2,000 m. Seam welded & redrawn tubes with orbital joints are used for umbilicals, subsea control lines and chemical injection tubes. We can produce straight lengths or coils up to 10,000 m long.

Chemical Process: Fine Tubes are used for applications as diverse as flow meters, measurements systems, condenser tubes, shell and heat exchanger tubes, paper production and acetic alloy plants. Typically in standard or modified analysis Austenitic stainless grades with bore quality typically 0.1μm Ra (0.15μ" Ra) or better. Material may be AOD melt or refined by further vacuum melt procedures. Tubes are used as manufactured or in final electro polished condition.

Semiconductor: Fine Tubes are used for Semiconductor manufacturing, Chromatography, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC tubing), Ultra High Purity (UHP) and specialist medical applications. Our UHP tubes are used throughout the semiconductor wafer processing and medical industries. Our HPLC tubing is at the forefront of the technology, providing unparalleled peak performance thanks to innovative manufacturing methods and processing control.

Nuclear & Power: Fine Tubes are proud to be a long established supplier to the Nuclear Industry. Our core products include modified Stainless Steels used for fuel pins and tie bars, Zirconium alloys for fuel cans, Nickel alloys for steam generator tubing. We are also a volume producer of stainless control & instrumentation tubing which is used for AGR/ PWR/CANDU and NPCIL programs. For the power industry generally, we provide a range of products from turbine generator stator cooling conductors to heat exchanger to FGD applications.

Medical: Fine Tubes medical tubing includes both dental tubing and surgical tubing. Our process capability delivers precise control of tube dimensions - typically h8 for OD control and with ID surface finish to a smoothness of 0.2 microns achieved by electro polishing. We produce tubes for trauma and orthopedic implants (cannulated bar), surgical instruments, catheters, stents and orthodontic applications. Materials include Titanium Alloys, conventional or vacuum melt Stainless Steels in circular, or bespoke interior or exterior profiles.
