ArcelorMittal Tubular Europe offers seamless pipes with an outside diameter ranging between 21.3 and 508mm, and wall thicknesses up to 50mm. Access to high-quality steels allows the company to create pipe and tube solutions for challenging applications. Mills in Romania and the Czech Republic have supplied many complex orders, including structural tubes for the Azerbaijan Olympic Stadium, piping systems for theUKNavy’s flagship aircraft carriers, and oil and gas projects around the world. Its flexible operations enable the company to meet the demands of both large and small projects, including the capability to produce individual pipes. There are also special areas such as laboratories and refrigerated cells, where the temperature is forced below zero. Problems also occur with the opposite situation, in areas where the temperature could become so high that the water is vaporised. Eurotubi Pressfitting has received various certifications throughout the world for its fire extinguishing product lines. The company’s catalogue lists two variants for sprinkler fire extinguishing systems: carbon steel – special fittings and pipes that are galvanised inside and out; and stainless steel – pipes and fittings made of AISI 316L. Both ranges are available in diameters from 22 to 108mm.

When creating sprinkler fire extinguishing systems, press fittings can be used for both wet and dry systems. The environmental conditions in the location where the sprinkler fire extinguishing systems will be installed are the first factors to be taken into consideration when choosing whether to use the wet or dry type of system. Most sprinkler fire extinguishing systems are created using a wet system – the system is permanently filled with water under pressure. However, if the room temperature can reach a point where water dispensing is not possible, dry systems must be used. Dry sprinkler fire extinguishing systems are used in all areas where the continuous presence of water inside the pipes could compromise its dispensing. This mainly refers to areas with very low temperatures, where there is a risk that the water could freeze, such as garages, warehouses and areas without heating.
