Supply Forms
Fine Tubes have an almost unique capability to be able to cold redraw the
products they produce.
This process is available in both straight lengths and coils and can be readily
applied to both welded tubes as well as seamless.
Cold redrawing enhances the metallurgical condition of the material and allows
for very specific tolerances and dimensions to be achieved.
Cold redrawing of the HAZe in welded tube in many alloys stimulates better
weld homoginization and improves the mechanical and corrosion resistance
performance.
Flexibility in Processing
Fine Tubes hold a unique position where a full range of products from the most
cost effective solutions of direct welded stainless steel through the range of high
temperature and corrosion resistance alloys to seamless materials across the
same alloy range.
All Fine Tubes welded products are 100% Eddy Current tested during the
welding process and additionally 100% re-tested when redrawn to the final size
required.
Surface Finish and internal Electro-polishing
The entire range of redrawn the seamless products can be offered with defined
ID surface finishes down to Ra0.40 mm (16 CLA)
All of the above product range can also be electro-polished internally to further
improve the surface and enhanced corrosion resistance and cleanability.

Experience
nuclear & power
The Nuclear and Power Markets represent one of our key markets for the supply of Stainless
Steel, Nickel alloy and reactive metal alloy tubing. Our pedigree in supporting the exacting
quality needs within the Nuclear market is supportive by Quality systems and Customer
Reference Approvals. Commencing in the 1970s with the development of Nuclear Fuel cans
for the UK AGR market, we have continued to evolve our product range in support of LWR,
Heavy Water and fast breeder reactor technologies.
Innovation and Flexibility
Our commitment to high specification tube manufacture combines with the strength of a
manufacturing facility which offers significant capacity and market competitive pricing yet
appreciates the need for flexibility and support in 'breakdown', rapid reaction situations.
Our quality and customers service support ensures that the individual requirements for
quality plans, procedures and documentation are fully and efficiently complied with.
