There is varying quality galvanised malleable iron pipe fittings available in the United Kingdom in 2016 and at the present time, import duty set by the European Union prevents good quality imported products from outside the EU from being as competitive as they might be.

The fact is though we do not have a British manufacturer of galvanised malleable iron pipe fittings as..

The term steam pipe can and does mean different things to many businesses and engineers; it has been used for many years to describe a product that can be seamless or welded and for different pressures and temperatures. Here at ValvesTubesFittings.com as a specialist supplier to the process steam community it means questions. If we supply steam pipe to a customer we usually know pressure and temperature and in many cases even the volume of steam being carried because steam for proces..

There are many pipeline suppliers in the UK but many of them lack that key ingredient of outstanding product knowledge. For instance, when y..

Condensate removal from process steam lines is the key to an efficient process steam system and in our experience, many businesses don’t take the issue seriously enough. We have all heard the term wet steam when describing a normal steam system required for heat transfer to processes and heat exchangers. When a steam boiler produces process steam there is always some entrained condensate within the steam, but the wetter it is the less effective it is at heat transfer. You would norma..
