We manufacture tubing for a huge range of applications across many industries. These include almost any application you can think of, and a lot more you probably can't! This diversity has given us a wealth of experience, enabling us to apply techniques and research developed in one industry across all our products. We frequently and pro-actively offer advice and recommend design-changes to our customers, foreseeing and overcoming design issues.
Below are just a few examples of what we make:
Roller tubes
- Big advantage over filament/tape wound tubes as we can achieve a true 0° fibre orientation resulting in a stronger and stiffer tube using like-for-like dimensions.
- Computer design and software facilities to calculate stresses and deflections for any loading scenario.
- Over 100 sizes of tooling to make almost any dimensions/wall-thickness required.
- Different modulus materials giving cost/stiffness options.
- Large in-house turning capability for finishing these tubes between centres to achieve excellent diametric/straightness/concentricity/ovality tolerances.
Telescopic tubes
- Telescopic sets for radio masts, antennas, photography and sound booms, high-level window cleaning, etc.
- Extensive range of tooling means we have literally thousands of options with wall thickness, spacings and lengths.
- Different surface finishes for appearance, grip, durability and electrical insulation.
- If you have a requirement for telescopic tubing then please contact us.
Exhaust tubing
- Finish options include 2x2 twills, plain weaves and texalium.
- Tubes are supplied lacquered for high gloss either clear or with a red or blue tint.
- Costs can be reduced by specifying the majority of the tube to be glass fibre with a carbon cosmetic finish.
