Plymouth Tube Company Attains Nadcap Accreditaiton

Salisbury, MD – Plymouth Tube Company’s – Salisbury Mill – has attained Nadcap accreditation for heat treating as well as the laboratory activities which verify the heat treating such as room temperature tensile, rockwell hardness, and metallography. The Salisbury mill is the first North American tubing manufacturer to earn the dual accreditation from Nadcap for seamless stainless aerospace tubing. By manufacturing in accordance with Nadcap approved processes, Plymouth assures its customers around the globe they are purchasing materials produced and tested to the highest standards set by the industry.

To meet these standards, process controls and testing procedures are utilized to insure proper heat treatment of materials, eliminating the chance of inner granular corrosion thereby reducing the risk of field failures. Plymouth’s customers’ further benefit from these process controls as it provides tubing that demonstrates uniform, repeatable mechanical properties, resulting in improved downstream fabricating processes.
 
Steve Bohnenkamp, VP Sales & Marketing at Plymouth Tube said, “We have been providing high quality tubing to the aerospace industry since the 1920’s.

Plymouth Tube Company's Trent Plant Recommended for PED Certification

EAST TROY, WI - As a result of successfully completing a recent audit, Plymouth Tube Co.’s Trent Mill has been recommended for certification to European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (PED). All mandatory elements of the Trent plant’s quality system were audited by third party assessor DNV and found to be in compliance with no major findings.

The scope of the Trent plant’s PED certification to Annex I, Section 4.3 applies to material manufacturing and the qualification of welding procedures and welding personnel. The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) (97/23/EC) is a European regulation which places responsibility for safety on the manufacturer and is applicable to all pressure equipment put into service within the European Union. It applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0,5 bar (piping, pressure accessories and assemblies). Equipment is classified by different Categories (Category I, II, III and IV) depending on their maximum allowable pressure, volume and the fluid for which they are intended.

Plymouth Tube Company’s Trent mill produces 1/8" to 4" diameter welded and welded and drawn stainless steel tubing including nickel and high alloys for aerospace, sanitary, pharmaceutical, and nuclear applications. Dean Hoffmann, General Manager of Plymouth’s Trent Plant confirms, “PED certification is part of our ongoing efforts to ensure proper quality levels and to meet the various requirements of our customers.”
