Hytec South Africa, and GS-Hydro, a multinational non-welded pipe manufacturer, have entered into a non-exclusive partnership agreement. This endorses Hytec South Africa as a sub-Saharan Africa distributor for all GS-Hydro components and piping systems above 42 mm. GS-Hydro is a leading supplier of non-welded piping solutions for hydraulic and other low and high pressure applications with a high demand on quality, reliability and cleanliness. The distributorship increases the company’s product and service capabilities and presents new opportunities for distributing non-welded, leak-free piping systems.
Cost savings through the lifetime of the piping systems are gained because there is a lower total installed system cost, a shorter installation time, less flushing time and reduced need for maintenance and repairs. “These benefits lead to fewer production interruptions and much shorter downtime when interruptions do occur,” says engineering manager, Andre Lindeque. “The flexibility facilitates fast and easy installation, which translates to significantly lower installation costs when compared to a welded piping system.”
The superior technology used, which provides the high-quality, leak-free piping system, is approved by classification agencies. The environmentally friendly pipes provide consistent quality due to machined and prefabricated assemblies, they are suitable for different materials, and they offer the highest level of cleanliness. “As there is no welding involved in manufacturing these pipes, there is no need for post-weld cleaning or costly weld inspections such as X-raying,” Lindeque explains.
Hytec South Africa currently has GS Hydro flaring and bending machines in use at its premises. The flaring machine provides 37° flaring with the capacity of flaring pipe sizes from 6 to 170 mm, and the bending machine has the capacity to bend pipes sized from 16 x 2 mm up to 60 x 6 mm wall thickness. Depending on the outside pipe diameter, the bend radius provided is either 2,5 or 3,0.
