Stainless Steel Pipe Welding - Case Study
Case Study Overview
Karl Dungs, a renowned manufacturer of combustion control systems, required high-precision stainless steel pipe assemblies for their advanced gas valve systems. The components needed to meet stringent specifications to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.
Project Overview
Karl Dungs Ltd – Leading provider of combustion control systems for industrial and commercial gas applications.
Sector:
Industrial Gas & Combustion Engineering
Project Scope:
Karl Dungs required precision welding on a series of stainless steel pipe assemblies used in high-performance gas control systems. The brief called for clean, high-penetration welds with consistent quality throughout multiple units, while maintaining the structural integrity and flow characteristics of the internal pipework.
Challenges:
- Welding thick-walled stainless steel elbows with tight tolerances
- Maintaining clean, even weld beads across curved joints
- Avoiding distortion and internal oxidation in a highly visible and flow-sensitive application
- Meeting ISO 9606-1 coded standards for stainless TIG welding
- Repeatability across multiple assemblies
Our Solution:
- Weld Process: TIG welding with precise control over heat input and travel speed
- Joint Prep: Careful bevel prep and purge setup to ensure full penetration and internal cleanliness
- Execution: Welded using coded procedures by our in-house specialists, with full traceability
- Inspection: Visual and dimensional checks on every part, with client sign-off prior to dispatch
Outcome:
- Delivered multiple high-spec welded pipe assemblies on time
- Zero defects, clean surface finish, and perfect arc stability across welds
- Client praised our weld quality and consistency, leading to further enquiries for future batches
