High-precision Seamless & Welded Tubes for critical heat transfer and instrumentation.
Unlike pipes, SOTCO Tubes are ordered by exact Outside Diameter (OD) and wall thickness, ensuring precise fitment for heat exchangers, condensers, and hydraulic lines. We stock a vast range of tubing in Stainless Steel, Duplex, and Exotic Alloys, featuring tight dimensional tolerances and superior surface finishes (Bright Annealed/Electro-Polished).
Key Applications: Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers, Boilers, High-Pressure Hydraulic Systems, and Ultra-High Purity (UHP) gas lines in semiconductor industries.
