1940 Superior Tube supplies tubing for the Manhattan Project, where mankind first learned to control the energy of the atom.

1960Superior Tube produces fuel cladding for Argonne National Laboratory’s Experimental Breeder Reactor-II.

1954 Superior Tube manufactures zirconium reactor tubes for the first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus.

1970Fine Tubes develops 20-25Nb nuclear fuel cladding and supplies for the UK’s first generation of Advanced Gas Reactors.

1957 Superior Tube supplies cladding to Shippingport Atomic Power Station, the first plant to produce electricity for a civilian population.

2000 The Tennessee Valley Authority’s Watts Bar nuclear reactor facility uses Zirconium Zr4 tubing from Superior Tube.

2008 Fine Tubes supplies CERN with cooling tubes for the Large Hadron Collider experiment.

tubing innovations Fine Tubes and Superior Tube benefit from a world-class reputation for innovative and high-quality tubing solutions geared towards the power industry. Here are a few examples:

tubing excellence

With over 70 years of engineering expertise in supplying high precision tubes, Superior Tube and Fine Tubes work closely with customers worldwide, developing high-specification tubing solutions to help them solve their technical challenges. We manufacture high-performance tubes in an ever-expanding range of stainless steel, nickel, titanium and zirconium alloys for supercritical and ultra-supercritical nuclear, thermal and solar power applications.

nuclear poWerOur involvement with the nuclear industry goes back as far as the 1930s. Since then, Superior Tube and Fine Tubes have been developing and supplying high-quality tubing solutions for in-core reactor components, where tubing is critical to the safe operation of nuclear reactors that have to withstand extreme temperatures, pressures and radiation.

From developing tubing solutions to be used as fuel cans for the U.K.’s AGR program, we have continued to evolve our product range in support of PWR, PHWR, LWR, BWR and FBR reactor technologies..

Fine Tubes and Superior Tube have worked closely with the world’s prominent nuclear reactor suppliers to develop tubular solutions for both new builds and maintenance projects globally, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, France, India and China.

tHermal poWerSuperior Tube and Fine Tubes supply hollow conductors or cooling tubes for water-cooled or helium/hydrogen-cooled turbine generators used in 660 MW or above supercritical thermal power plants, as well as 1000 MW or above ultra-supercritical coal-fired power plants.

As leading tube manufacturers, we also have the capability to supply welded or welded & redrawn tubes for low-pressure and high-pressure heaters manufactured in our fully automated multi mill.

solar poWerFine Tubes and Superior Tube manufacture tubing solutions for use in CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) technology in solar tower or solar thermal power plants.

Our expertise in processing exotic alloys for high-performance tubing satisfied the need of mission-critical heat exchangers at the heart of the solar process of Gemasolar, the award-winning commercial solar power plant near Seville in Spain. In collaboration with SENER, we have developed and produced the corrosion-resistant heating exchanger tubes for the steam generators as well as the high-performance tubing that make up the receiver of the Gemasolar central tower containing molten salt.
