Durability and corrosive resistance are key criteria when it comes to precision thin wall tubing for industrial condensers. The tube mill at Superior Tube more than meets that requirement, and we supply products to a range of leading engineering companies. In the energy sector, our high quality stainless steel and nickel alloy condenser tubes are used for the cooling, heating or re-heating of fluids or gases within steam turbines that generate electricity. Condenser tubing products can be purchased from Superior Tube as seamless, welded or welded drawn tubes in a multitude of sizes ranging from 0.010” OD to 1.500” OD with wall thickness as light as .003” Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Customers in aerospace, oil and gas, chemical processing and other industries all rely on Superior Tube to supply precision thin wall tubing which they use to make bellows and convoluted tubing for a variety of applications. Our convoluting grade tubes are made from several alloys such as Inconel 625 and stainless steel 321. The tubes are then hydro or mechanically formed into flexible hoses, which are often used to transport fluids and gases in various industries. Superior currently produces bellows and convoluting grade tubing from 1.0” in outside diameter down to under .250” OD with wall thickness as light as .003”. If you have demand within or outside of this range, please contact us so we can provide a solution. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Superior Tube Co. supplies above industry standard quality high performance used in the manufacturing of liquid and gas chromatography. High Performance Liquid Chromatography High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used to analyze chemicals in both research and industrial processing. It’s an application that requires precision tubing, which is resistant to high temperatures, pressures and corrosion. For many years, Superior Tube has supplied tubes made from corrosion resistant austenitic, stainless steel and nickel alloys for a range of HPLC equipment. The tubing is used for the manufacturing of the columns in chromatography machines. This application requires exceptional inside diameter condition and overall tube strength to withstand the pressure involved when pumping liquids or gases through the column in order to extract samples for chemical analysis. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) is a type of treatment aiming to regulate the heart's rhythm, often involving implants such as pacemakers or catheters. There can be a number of reasons why CRM is needed, all of which relate to the malfunctioning of the heart's electrical impulses, which cause its muscles to expand and contract to a regular rhythm. Superior Tube supplies tubes used for pacemaker lead wires as well as components deployed in other cardiac implants such as defibrillators, pacing systems, and catheter-based ablation systems. As a leading supplier of the medical instruments industry, we are committed to improving healthcare and patients’ lives. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Superior Tube is committed to improving healthcare options for patients, and to helping surgeons save lives. As such, we manufacture a range of specialized welded and seamless tubing products for various areas of the medical device industry, including cardiac stents. Stents are small, expandable tubes, usually made of metal mesh, and are used to treat narrowed or weakened arteries. In patients with coronary heart disease, stents are implanted in order to open narrowed arteries during a procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention, or angioplasty. Heart stents can also help relieve chest pain and aid in the prevention of heart attacks. Ever since our tubing was used in the earliest cardiac stent implants in 1987, Superior Tube has been an industry leader in the manufacture of implant grade tubing for both coronary and peripheral stents. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

At Superior Tube we're proud of the way our precision tubes are used to help save lives. Welded and seamless tubes we've manufactured are used for specialized products across the medical device industry. For instance, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a promising new treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis - a narrowing of the heart valve - who are not ideal candidates for traditional open-heart surgery. Because the replacement valve can be implanted using techniques that are far less intrusive than open-heart surgery, patients with TAVR usually experience a much more rapid recovery than they normally would. On the other hand, more traditional valve replacement surgery might employ our pericardial stented tissue heart valves. These implants help blood flow naturally and offer excellent hemodynamic performance. They are designed for optimal performance and long-term durability.

Superior Tube supplies high pressure tubes that exceed current industry standards and we supply high quality products that are used in oil and gas extraction, high pressure liquid chromatography, military applications, water jet cutting, and more. Our tube mill manufactures high pressure tubing in straight lengths, and in a variety of corrosion resistant austenitic, nickel alloys, and stainless steels. Sizes run from 0.050” right up to 1.250” outside diameter, with wall thicknesses between 0.0175” and 0.218”. Operating conditions can require our products to be service rated above 60,000psi operating pressure, with tensile strengths greater than 220ksi. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Superior Tube supplies a whole range of products to the oil and gas sector, and it’s one of our most important markets. You’ll find our high performance tubes successfully used in some of the most aggressive subsea and downhole conditions thanks to our proven track record in meeting the strict quality requirements of the oil, gas and geothermal energy industries. Improving technology has extended the range of ways in which oil and gas fields can be exploited, and increasingly projects require the use of long, continuous lengths of stainless steel control lines. These are employed in a variety of applications including hydraulic controls, instrumentation, chemical injection, umbilicals and flowline control. Fine Tubes supplies products for all of these applications, and more, lowering operating costs and improved recovery methods for our customers. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Stainless steel alloys offer a very cost effective option when it comes to manufacturing precision tubing for a range of industries. These alloys have an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, metallurgical stability and formability, and are easily welded. Its fabrication characteristics, good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and attractive finished appearance make high quality stainless steel tubing a popular choice in a range of industries. The stainless grades manufactured by Superior Tube include single-phase austenitic and dual-phase duplex grades. Stainless steel is often chosen for projects in oil and gas production, piping systems, medical devices, food and beverage production, structural applications and corrosion-resistant vessels. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Alloys 304 (S30400) and 304L (S30403) stainless steels are variations of the 18 percent chromium – 8 percent nickel austenitic alloy, the most familiar and most frequently used alloy in the stainless steel family. High strength, excellent corrosion resistance and minimized carbon content make Alloy 304 and 304L Stainless Steels useful for applications where welding is required. Uses include architectural mouldings and trim, welded components of chemical, textile, paper, pharmaceutical and chemical industry processing equipment. Other advantages are its resistance to oxidation, excellent formability, ease of fabrication and cleaning, excellent strength to weight ratio and good toughness at cryogenic temperatures.
