Key Features of "FINE PIPE" *1

1. Superior Precision & Cost-Efficiency: Offers higher precision than seamless pipes. Continuous processing of coil products enhances productivity and enables significant cost reductions.
2. High Pressure Resistance & Durability: Our proprietary welding technology and full-length seam control ensure minimal thickness deviation, outperforming seamless pipes in durability.
3. Rigorous Quality Assurance: A comprehensive QA system utilizing in-line inspection equipment from raw material to the finished product.
4. Versatile Supply Formats: Available in various forms, including coils, fixed-length, cut-to-length, and custom-processed products.

*Note: See *1 for manufacturing range and available steel grades.

Key Features of "High-Precision Inner Surface" Small-Diameter Tubes *2

1. Ultra-Smooth Surface: Significantly improved inner roughness (ID φ0.5mm to 1.25mm; Ra ≤ 0.5μm) compared to conventional products.
2. Exceptional Consistency: Features a perfectly round inner surface with stable quality along the entire longitudinal direction.
3. Cost Savings: Eliminates the need for post-processing, offering significant cost reductions compared to traditional polished finishes.

*Note: See *2 for manufacturing range and available steel grades.

Key Features of "FINE PEEK-ST" *3

1. Advanced Column Tubes: A high-precision, high-strength composite tube featuring a PEEK resin lining protected by a stainless steel outer layer.
2. Ultra-High Pressure Readiness: Engineered for extreme environments exceeding 100 MPa.
3. Improved Roundness: Achieves dramatic improvements in roundness and inner surface roughness (Ra ≤ 0.3μm), even in small-diameter specifications.
4. Enhanced Yield: Available in coils up to 20m, allowing for flexible cutting to any length, which optimizes yields and reduces waste.

*Note: See *3 for manufacturing range and available steel grades.
