Range of Applications

Our seamless stainless steel and nickel alloy tubes and pipes are mainly used in the following industries:


Chemical and petrochemical industry
Power generation and Environmental technologies
Oil and gas applications
Mechanical and plant engineering and construction
Automotive industry


Seamless stainless steel tubes and pipes are the preferred choice for processes under the following conditions:
- high temperatures
- aggressive media (e.g. acid and lye)
- and/or high pressure
which call for the use of high-quality materials.


Chemical and petrochemical industry
In the chemical and petrochemical industry the areas of application cover mainly the following:
urea synthesis ethylene plantsmelamine plantshigh-pressure tubes and piping systemsapparatus and heat exchangers

Power generation and Environmental technologies
In power plants and the energy sector our tubes and pipes are primarily used for heat exchangers.
The same application area also applies to environmental technologies and waste incineration plants:
reheaterssuperheaters


Oil and gas applications
SMST-Tubes manufactures tubing and piping for onshore and offshore Oil & Gas applications in the domains of Exploration, Production and Processing

Exploration and Production
- OCTG tubing and casing for downhole applications: For more than 30 years, we produce a comprehensive range of plain end tubes for tubing and casing, as well as of coupling mother tubes and mechanical tubing for accessories. These are in corrosion resistant alloys (CRA), from duplex stainless steels (DSS) up to sophisticated nickel alloys, with high mechanical properties suitable for the use in corrosive and difficult conditions (pressure, temperature, aggressive environments ...) 
- Umbilicals: we have a decennial experience in the production of superduplex seamless tubes to be used in umbilicals cables, in a wide range of dimensions. The tubes can be manufactured in single-piece long straight length, or buttwelded and coiled on reels. Dedicated manufacturing lines and specifically designed equipments guarantee a high level of quality and reliability.
- Linepipes / Flowlines, Manifolds, Risers, Flowloops: SMST-Tubes has a long established experience in manufacturing pipes and tubes of standard and non-standard sizes in stainless steel grades, providing high resistance to corrosion combined with high mechanical properties being so critical in subsea (incl. deepwaters) and enhanced recovery installations

Process Piping
- Piping for Topsides and Seawater systems: Our comprehensive size range combined with an extensive portfolio of corrosion resistant grades make us an ideal partner for bulk piping requirements in stainless steels, providing economical weight savings solutions in marine environements
- LNG / GTL: Bill of materials for bulk quantities of stainless steel Utility and Service process piping spans over an extensive size range. We offer a long history of supplying stainless steels commodity piping from 1/2" NB to 8" NB for LNG developments worldwide, including taylor made packing and dedicated transportation to site


Mechanical and plant engineering and construction
In mechanical and plant engineering and construction our tubes and pipes are mainly used in the following areas:
food processing
automotive technology
measurement and control technology
pumps
hydraulic cylinders
tubes and pipes as half finished product for fittings and flange productiontubes and pipes as half finished product for radially machined components
(standard and VALIMA grades)

Automotive industry
