    • Clad pipes – Equal to all challenges

    • BUTTING has been processing clad materials into pipes and piping components for more than 25 years. By using clad materials, the excellent strength and toughness of carbon-manganese steels are combined with the corrosion resistance of high-alloyed materials. The use of clad pipes is recommended in all areas where dynamic stress, high pressure and a high level of corrosiveness can be found in the media transported.

        • Metallurgically clad pipes

        • Already since the mid eighties we have been producing pipes from metallurgically clad plates for renowned customers all over the world. The tight bond between the metal layers of these pipes is achieved by a diffusion bridge.
          Depending on their intended application and technical requirements metallurgically clad pipes are used, for example, as SCR pipes, riser pipes, process or line pipes.

          Technical details at a glance:
          • Sizes range OD 114,3 (4") up to 1 219 mm (48")
          • Wall thicknesses up to 70 mm
          • Maximum wall thickness / OD ratio 1:10
          • Random lengths up to 24 m (6 m and 12 m lengths without circumferential weld)
          • Suitable for S-Lay and J-Lay method, bundle or reel-lay process

          Advantages of metallurgically clad pipes:
          • Reduction of wall thickness
          • Advantages in terms of cost already in case of small dimensions versus full-wall pipes
          • Reduction of weight
          • Wide variety of material combinations possible

        • Mechanically lined pipes – the BuBi®pipe

        • At the beginning of the nineties we developed the mechanically lined BUTTING-Bimetal-pipe, short: BuBi®pipe.
          The BuBi®pipe is a corrosion resistant pipe which is telescopically aligned inside a pipe in carbon-manganese material and the tight mechanical bond between the pipes is achieved in a hydroforming facility.
          For many years the BuBi®pipes have been successfully used in very demanding and sensitive onshore and offshore areas of the oil and gas industry. They are used as pipelines, riser pipes and SCR-pipes for highly corrosive media.

          Technical details at a glance:
          • Size range from OD 114,3 mm (4") up to 660 mm (26")
          • Random lengths up to 24 m (up to 12 m without circumferential weld)
          • Production acc. to API, ASTM, DNV or ISO
          • Suitable for S-Lay, J-Lay method, bundle or reel-lay process

          Advantages of mechanically lined pipes:
          • Cost savings of up to 40 % compared to solid pipes
          • High corrosion resistance at the inside and high pressure resistance at the outside
          • Project-specific material combinations

        • Clad components ready for installation

        • In order to optimise the quality of the pipeline and to reduce costs we process clad pipes directly into components ready for installation. For this purpose we use clad semi-finished products, like weld-clad flanges, elbows, tees and reducers. The corrosion resistant layer is subjected to pickling and passivation at the works, as well as non-destructive testing according to the relevant specifications. Thus, potential savings with regard to the installation time on site later are achieved.

          Advantages of clad components ready for installation:
          • Use of high quality semi-finished products made by BUTTING
          • High degree of automation and high reproducibility
          • First class manufacturing quality, among others through a continuous quality assurance
          • Minimisation of welds and installation times on site

      • Special pipes and components ready for installation

      • In addition to longitudinally welded pipes for the industrial use, BUTTING manufactures special pipes and components ready for installation. By combining modern production technology with technical skills and long-standing experience in the stainless steel processing, we are able to implement individual product solutions for our customers.

        The base product is the longitudinally welded pipe out of our production. Consequential numerous benefits are resulting for you:

                Chemical pickling after production is standard at BUTTING. This guarantees pipes and components with optimum corrosion resistance.

                You can also specify different surface types:
                • The choice of raw material depends on the specified nature of the surfaces
                • Rolling operations / flattening
                • Individual requirements for roughness
                • Grinding the inner and outer surfaces
                • Blasting the inner and outer surfaces
                • Deliberate roughening of the surfaces through raumatic surface finishing

              • Tolerances of form and position

              • Our stainless steel pipes and components are produced according to national and international standards, e.g. DIN, ISO or ASTM.

                Beyond this, we implement any other requirements the customer may have with regard to special tolerances of the inside and outside diameter and the wall thickness. This is why numerous pharmaceutical companies have been relying on BUTTING pipes with very tight tolerances of the outside diameter for years.

                We also produce stainless steel pipes for piggable plants, diaphragm pipes or valve housings, where the inside diameter is of the essence. Also in this sector we are your quality supplier. Our Quality Assurance system is part of each process, thus ensuring compliance with all individual requirements, e.g. squareness of the pipe ends - an important prerequisite for subsequent orbital welding.

              • Big variety of forms: Stainless steel pipes with special geometries

              • We have been producing corrosion resistant pipes in special geometries for many years, either as series production from coil or from plates for special components. Owing to the many production processes we have, a nearly unlimited range of different forms is possible:
                • Triangular pipes
                • Square pipes
                • Hexagonal pipes
                • Oval pipes
                • Elliptical pipes
                • Half shells

                Renowned manufacturers of pumps, companies in process technology and research institutions rely on BUTTING's expertise. This is why we have supplied the Research Centre CERN in Geneva with special copper-clad oval pipes and half shells for the largest particle accelerator.

              • Mechanical treatment: turning, milling and drilling

              • Turning, milling and drilling are the processes which make our corrosion resistant pipes suitable for meeting various demands and fulfilling many purposes. Modern CNC and universal lathes are available in our production centre. In a single clamping operation we manufacture complete parts and components. Our production facilities in the lathering area include sizes up to 1 200 mm in diameter and 6 000 mm in length. Milling is possible for components of up to 14 000 x 2 800 x 1 500 mm in length, height and depth.

                The BUTTING HeRo®- Heat Resistant Roller - illustrates the very precise production results. Our "hero" is used in the roller hearth furnances of the steel industry. Its high running accuracy represents a crucial advantage.

                Depending on the field of use, not only standard materials, but also special materials with a high alloy content or titanium alloys are processed. Precise milling and turning results are the BUTTING quality criteria for special pipes and components ready for installation.

              • Laser processing

                • BUTTING HeRo®– The heat resisting furnace roller from BUTTING

                • The BUTTING HeRo®- Heat Resisting Roller - is a product solution developed at our plant: a heat resisting furnace roller which is used by the steel industry in roller-hearth furnaces for the manufacture of long and flat products.

                  Most of the furnace rollers used hitherto are water cooled, cause considerable energy and maintenance costs and are not noted for their longevity. This is where our uncooled furnace roller comes in very handy: the BUTTING HeRo®offers a long service life due to its very low tendency to oxidation and minor mechanical wear. This means considerable cost reductions, as furnace stand-stills and maintenance costs are avoided. The energy costs are also lowered, as cooling with water can be dispensed with.

                  Depending on its intended use our "hero" is individually produced from appropriate materials like Alloy 602 CA, 601 H or 800 H. Our furnace rollers can be produced in outside diameters from NB 100 up to 700 and wall thicknesses of up to 60 mm.

              • Knowledge – bundled and to the point

              • Our long-standing experience is shown today in our welding technology and our quality assurance system. At the same time, we regard forming and materials technology as "our" disciplines, since we have been collecting, bundling and boiling down our knowledge through the generations.

                As always, the corrosion resistant pipe serves as the primary product for the production of special pipes and components ready for installation, prefabricated pipelines / spools and welded constructions. BUTTING is seen as a solution provider for products with special surfaces, tolerances, forms and geometries. Our portfolio is completed by our expertise in metal cutting and laser processing. On this basis, we were able to bring products to maturity, also in partnership with customers.

                Preserving and expanding knowledge is both a task and an obligation. That is why BUTTING continuously invests in training and developing the staff at all our locations. Alongside commercial and occupational safety training sessions, training courses on welding and on testing procedures are a matter of course.

                  • Task: Improve welding processes

                  • BUTTING is noted for its long-standing experience in welding stainless steel, special and clad materials. Improving welding processes is seen as a central task of our welding technology.

                    At BUTTING, all the current arc and beam welding processes are used. In pipe production from coils we use plasma and TIG welding, and increasingly laser beam welding processes. Laser beam welding is used especially with pipes for the pharmaceutical, chemical, food technology and solar technology industries. It is ultimately the customer's specification which prescribes the welding process to be applied.

                    BUTTING customers benefit from our know-how:

                  • Quality management under DIN EN ISO 9001

                  • For more than 235 years the name BUTTING has stood for quality and reliability in the metal processing industry. BUTTING has always been a trail-blazer in quality control and the documentation of production results. As early as 1962, we were routinely using X-ray technology. Since 1988 we have been monitoring and documenting the entire production process - from goods receipt to the dispatch of the finished product. Thus the manufacturing of a component can be traced back in the long term.

                    Our quality management system has been certified by the Germanische Lloyd Group in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001. We also hold approvals from other classification companies and supervisory authorities, such as Bureau Veritas, DNV, API and BDLI. This is a criterion for renowned customers in the oil and gas industry to choose us as their preferred supplier. Because sustainability and environmental protection play a central role here - and can only be ensured through an impeccable product.

                  • A variety of shapes and sizes thanks to know-how in forming technology

                  • 对接产品成形工艺的结果ogy. An almost unlimited variety of shapes and sizes characterises our production possibilities. Thus we produce triangular, square and hexagonal pipes, oval and ellipse pipes and half pipes.

                    BUTTING specialises in the prefabrication of spools and components ready for installation. For example, integrated bends and multiple bends are produced on state-of-the-art machines; for multiple bends, different angles and positions are possible. The elbows are cold-formed, and no subsequent heat treatment is required. The use of integrated and multiple bends saves a number of fittings. As a result we reduce the welding required and the amount of testing - and the cost for our customers.

                  • Materials technology for industry-specific applications

                  • The BUTTING production programme offers its customers a broad range of high-performance materials for industry-specific applications.
