The importance of pipe-fitting suppliers in Modern Industry

February 4th, 2010

Although modern polymers and plastics are widely used for certain industrial processes, high strength, corrosion-resistant alloys continue to be the “weapon of choice” for many. Industrial pipe flanges and other fittings are today made in a wide range of specialised alloys, often used in combination with other plastics. This helps keep costs down without compromising performance, efficiency or safety.

Environmental and safety factors play a big role in the design of industrial plant machinery. It follows that flanges and fittings must be manufactured accordingly. Buyers are conscious of the need to purchase only the highest quality, precision engineered products for their needs, which is why they turn to suppliers like us at Chemipetro in preference to manufacturers located abroad. We respond by keeping prices as low as we can and offering services such as immediate emergency call-out. We also devote time and resources to product design and development – to good effect.

While the UK market continues to be flooded with cheap foreign imports, when it comes to high-spec industrial applications it is companies like us who lead the way. The demand for high quality industrial pipe fittings represents an enormous growth area. There is a global need for highly specific, rather than commodity-based products, meaning our industry has seen a 10% leap in growth in recent years.

Industry specific, alloy pipe fittings are used in everything from food production to semiconductors. Resistance to corrosion and mineral build-up; zero heavy metal contamination and high tensile strength are just some of the requirements desired by the industries we work with.
