Manufacturing Process
Mother Tubes are procured from reputed manufacturers and are subjected to a thorough chemical analysis along with rigorous physical and mechanical tests. The best quality mother tubes are then cold drawn on the draw benches.

Drawing involves pulling the hollow tube through a series of tungsten carbide dies of gradually decreasing diameters. Before each step of the drawing process, the tube is pointed at one end to fit through the next smaller die. Before drawing a stationery tapered plug mandrel is placed inside the tube. As the tube is drawn on linear draw benches, the mandrel and die act together to reduce both the tubes outside diameter and its wall thickness. The mandrel also makes the tubes inside surface smoother.

The tube is annealed in an annealing furnace as and when required by the given standard to make it suitable for the intended application. The straight tubes are passed through a series of straightening rolls before the final cutting operation to make it perfectly cut to the size. The soft annealed coils are wounded on the automated coilers.

Finally, the tube is cleaned to remove any traces of drawing lubricants or other contaminations. Samples of the finished tubes are analyzed at regular intervals to ensure that it meets all requirements of size, wall thickness and quality as required under the applicable standards.





Quality
Quality has brought prosperity to Tube Tech. High product quality is an absolute priority for us and this constitutes a competitive advantage as it sets us apart from our competitors and hence makes a significant contribution towards securing and extending our market position. A determination to settle for nothing less than excellence is the foundation on which our company operates. Our stringent quality practices ensure that every product meets the industry's highest production standards. The products and services we offer not only meet the quality requirements of our customers but actually exceed them.

Quality Control
It is the stringent regime of quality controls and procedures established at Tube Tech that gives its products the critical advantage in the industry. Strict process requirements and continuous monitoring throughout the production process minimizes the range of possible deviations in the final output. The works have been equipped with reliable testing and measuring equipment for destructive and non destructive testing.

Destructive Tests :
Flaring Test
The flaring test serves to establish the forming behavior of tubes or pipes which is expanded to a specific degree. This flaring test is carried out in conformity with the code requirements. The specimen to be tested is expanded in a press to the degree specified. Defects which occur as result of this process are not permissible.

Hardness Test
Samples from each lot are tested to ensure that the hardness of the tube is within permissible limits.

Tensile Test
The tensile test specimen serves to determine the strength and ductility characteristics i.e. yield strength, tensile strength and elongation. Tensile tests are normally carried out at room temperature according DIN, ASTM, BS, and other common standards.

Flattening Test
Flattening test mainly serves to detect microscopic internal and external flaws. It involves compressing a tube section between two planes placed parallel to a predetermined distance. Incipient cracks and internal or external defects which occur as result of this process are not permissible.

Non Destructive Tests:
Hydrostatic Tests
All tubes and pipes produced at Tube Tech are compulsorily subjected to 100% hydro testing. Hydrostatic Testing can be carried out at pressures upto 120 kg /cm sq. The test pressure is achieved using high pressure Triple Plunger pumps. If specified, customers or their deputed inspection agencies can witness 100% hydro testing at our plant.

Pneumatic Testing
For thin wall tubes Pneumatic Testing (Air under water) is done at up to 450 psi air pressure to check for any leakages in the tube.

Visual Inspection
All products at Tube Tech are subjected to 100% visual inspection.

Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance System implemented at Tube Tech covers all production stages right from the raw material, re-drawing, annealing, till the final product is ready for dispatch. The elements of the quality assurance system correspond to the requirements of national and international standards, as well as customer's own Quality Assurance requirements.

The Quality control department is independent of manufacturing shop. All tests are carried out by trained quality personnel in compliance with the guidelines of the Quality Assurance System. Depending upon the intended application and technical delivery conditions or customer's specifications, a variety of specific tests can be carried out to ensure that highest quality standards are maintained. Also, at the end of this meticulously uncompromising quality checks.
