Materials specialist Sandvik has opened a new control and chemical injection line service center at its warehouse in Houston. The scope of supply includes both seamless coiled and laser-welded tubes in stainless steel grades 316L and A825 (Sandvik Sanicro 41).
These stocks will cover the most commonly used size range and grades for control/injection applications from 6.35 to 12.7 mm (1/4-1/2 in) outside diameter and 0.89-1.65 mm (1/25-3/50 in) wall thickness. The center also will provide other grades, such as SAF2507 and San28 on short lead times.
Seamless and welded tubes can be delivered on the customer’s own reels or de-coiled and cut to length. The Houston center also will offer encapsulated systems and a flush-and-fill service with hydraulic oil, according to the Nas Class 6 cleanliness standard. Additionally, Sandvik will provide technical support to assist with correct material selection for the offshore environment, and if need be, develop a product tailored to the application.
