Starting in 1949 as a supplier of piping material for the Oil & Gas industry, now Raccortubi Group provides pipes, tubes, fittings and flanges also destined for the production of renewable energy, nuclear energy, fertilizer and urea plants, green chem, chemical and petrochemical industry, and shipbuilding.
We stock and supply piping material for upstream and downstream Oil & Gas plants, such as oil and derivative production and refining, as well as natural gas production and distribution.
Among our long-standing customers, there are some of the main chemical tanker and passenger ship builders.
In fact, all our products can be supplied from scratch on specific requests as well as from stock to meet any shipyard necessity – from shipbuilding, repair and retrofitting of cruise ships, gas carriers, and chemical tankers, up to specific applications of the Oil & Gas industries such as FPSOs (Floating Production Storage and Offloading Unit).
Raccortubi stocks and supplies piping material (pipes, tubes, fittings, flanges and special pieces on customer drawing) in 316L UG (UNS31603) and 310 MoLN (UNS31050) specifically destined for urea applications and fertilizer plants. We can manage single item necessities as well as complete projects, in accordance with Urea Casale, Saipem (Snamprogetti) and Stamicarbon technical specifications.
Benefitting from the exclusive partnership with Mannesmann Stainless Tubes, Raccortubi supplies ex-stocks tubes, which are also used as raw material for butt weld fitting internal manufacturing.
Such a synergy between manufacturing and distribution is relevant for Urea material, being it not easy to source. A wide range of piping items is readily available, with production mills being able to manufacture special products on customer drawing with tight delivery times.
In desalination plants, 30% of materials is in stainless steels, since substantial chloride concentration and high operational temperatures are involved, with Duplex and Super Duplex being used more and more, thanks to their high resistance to corrosion and great mechanical strength.
Since we are able to offer pipes, fittings and flanges both from stock and on customer request, our Group can thus perfectly meet any desalination need, in both offering the most appropriate steel grade and manufacturing complementary products to provide complete packages in due time.
Our products also find application in nuclear power plants, where the reliability of the manufacturer is essential, given the high criticality of the plant.
Energy transition is more current than ever: our products find natural application in the sectors of more sustainable energy production, for the world of today and tomorrow.
We supply piping material suitable for renewable energy production plants and the so-called “green chemistry” industry (bioplastics, biofuels, water treatment, energy production from waste, geothermal, solar, hydrogen, etc.).
Some of our “green” applications:
We are active in all critical applications, where high performance of materials is required in terms of resistance to corrosion, high temperatures and pressure.
The wide range of our products, which we supply as both manufacturers and distributors, find applications in many other sectors. From the most traditional to the most innovative: the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, pulp and paper, mining industry, etc.
