Why Use Tata UK Hot Part-2 Carbon Steel Tubes

When it comes to selecting the right material for a project, there are many factors to consider. One material that has gained popularity in recent years is carbon steel. 

In particular, UK Hot Part-2 Carbon Steel Tubes are known for their exceptional strength, durability, and versatility, making them a great option for a wide range of applications. These tubes are also cost-effective and resistant to corrosion, making them a reliable choice for projects in harsh environments. 

Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits of using UK Hot Part-2 Carbon Steel Tubes for your next project, and the disadvantages of Cold-Formed (Part-1 TR1 grade) Tubes.

Abbey Pipework uses Tata Steel’s UK Hot Part-2 carbon steel tubes to reduce project risks and satisfy application temperature, pressure, CPR and PED requirements. Not only that, the tubes have been specifically developed for use in a wide range of above and below ground applications.

We have many years’ experience working with Tata Steel and fabricating with their UK manufactured INSTALL PLUS 235 and INLINE 265 Hot-finished Part-2 carbon steel tubes.

 

Not All Tubes Are the Same

Not all tubes are the same, so it’s important to use the correct ones to reduce project risks.

Unlike Tata’s UK made Hot-Part-2 brands, commodity imported alternatives, such as cold-formed TR1 or TR2 tubes, may be cheaper, but can suffer from a range of technical, installation and performance issues.

They are also not suitable for use at temperatures >50°C, and may not comply under the PED (Pressure Equipment Directive), CPR (Construction Products Regulations) or the UKCA.

Tata Steel’s UK made Hot-Part-2 tubes are an ideal cost-effective substitute for imported comparable seamless products, and deliver a range of technical advantages.
