Tube Fabrication Pennsylvania Ensures Performance And Safety

By Timothy Brooks


As one of the most used metal material in the world, aluminum has been used for a variety of applications from household tools to industrial piping system. We may not see how so many things that are made of aluminum, in fact there is always requesting the proper aluminum Tube fabrication Pennsylvania methods to make different products. So what does aluminum fabrication mean?

Heavy industries look for Pipe Fabrication, which provides them with suitability to manage their work. With concerns of heating, cooling and blending liquid or solid substance these fabricated tubes add an advantage. Minimal cost and long durability of fabricated tubes require no coupling. It is of the varied range that facilitates in repairing and installing leak tubes joints or waste tube leaks.

The higher the gauge identification number, the smaller the actual measurement will be. This kind of material is perfect for use in the medical fields because it can be bent into tubes measuring as small as. 0165 of an inch inside the hypodermic tube, allowing the smallest of drops to be administered through it, or the tiniest fraction of liquid drawn back through, under pressure.

Pipe Fabricating includes various type of piping required by big industries. Carbon and alloy steel tube systems that include cement lined, metered fittings, jacketed piping is one. Designed specifically with a core pipe surrounded by jacket pipe, allows heating or cooling medium to flow in annular space.

Wire forming or wire bending can also take place using 3D automated equipment such as our Numalliance 3D Robomac wire bender. Other parts may go on highly automated equipment for large production volumes, such as laser cutting with an FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System with automatic load and unload of sheet metal or robotic welding where a robot is programmed to weld in the same spots over and over.

Methods of Fabricating- There are three basic methods of fabricating tubing for use in various industries: seamless, welded, and welded-drawn. Seamless refers to the process of punching a hole through a fabrication form called a billet and drawing the material through it. Very handy for producing small diameter, thin-walled tubing, by making the billet hole the correct diameter, and heating the material while it is being drawn through. When it cools, it will be seamless and as hard as its original form.

Welded means exactly what it means: welding two flattened pieces into a single, pipe-like whole. The seams inside must be as flawless as possible, without breaks or burrs. During the welded-drawn process, it is welded as per usual, but a plug is inserted into the forming pipe to keep the inside seam as flat as possible.

Alongside with this component, a steel torsion is also utilized. At times, the hydraulic press brake contains limit switches and overload protection systems. Speeds of the press brakes are adjustable and controllable as well giving the operator freedom to adjust the level of work they are doing as need be.
