Prefabrication and the subsequent acceptance of the prefabricated pipe parts took place according to the instructions of the local Bureau Veritas on the work premises of Butting China. In line with the company aim of optimising product quality, the surfaces were also subjected to a full body pickling of the complete, ready to install components. In partnership, Butting Knesebeck and Butting China are able to provide the Chinese market with a range of requirements for stainless steel pipe and fittings. Website : www.butting.de

 High quality prefabrication of pipe and fittings

The company has a Chinese subsidiary, Butting (Shanghai) Co Ltd, which has recently won an order from TGE Gas Engineering GmbH for a Japanese shipyard. Butting Shanghai received the order to provide and install the pipework for an ethylene-tanker, and the Butting-Chinese team took on the complete prefabrication process. This is the second order for the young Chinese subsidiary from the sophisticated Japanese end customer. In 2006, Butting China successfully managed to complete the first project to build an LPG tanker for the shipyard. Butting China carried out these orders with pipes delivered from Butting in Germany, which are manufactured from the material TP 316 or TP 316L in the range from DN 25 to DN 400. To ensure extensive value creation, high-grade semi-products are used in production, with planning and design undertaken on CAD software. These products were shipped from Germany to China and delivered to TGE. Butting China will carry out the complete prefabrication of all pipework, whereby the pipes and fittings are added. In order to fulfil the requirements for pipe classes with a pressure test and 100 per cent x-ray test, Butting China had to demonstrate its expertise in welding techniques. The execution of the welding joints was carried out according to welding instructions (WPS) and valid procedural tests (PQR), prepared and supported by Butting, Germany.  Prefabricated pipe parts for the chemical industry
