SPECIFICATION AND QUALITY

  • Tube is manufactured to NZTM Q15.
  • Near equivalent external standards: AS 1450, BS EN10296-1.
  • During manufacture, the tube undergoes a series of tests to ensure that it meets our high quality standards.

 

PRODUCT RANGE

  • We manufacture round, square, rectangle, oval and flat- sided oval tube. For size profile options outside the range listed contact NZTM sales office.
  • Ex mill tube is sold in standard bundle sizes of 5.500 metre lengths in New Zealand.
  • All tube is longitudinally welded by high frequency induction welding. Tube is shear cut from the size range 9.5mm to 76.2mm. The tube sizes 88.9mm to 101.6mm
  • are crash cut and exhibit a slight dimple in each end.

PACKAGING

  • All tube profiles are coated with Anti Corrosive Coating to ensure tube is delivered in the best possible condition.
  • It is important in the handling process that tube is kept dry and free from moisture to ensure surface oxidisation does not occur.
  • Where possible avoid long term restrictive covers over the tube as temperature change will cause sweating and the formation of rust.
