    3. Does BUTTING manufacture seamless or welded pipes?

        BUTTING manufactures only longitudinally welded pipes. Production of these
        high-quality pipes of stainless steel and clad materials is the focus of our
        business activities. Very few companies in Europe can draw on such a length
        and breadth of experience in the production of stainless steel pipes as
        BUTTING does.

    4. What sizes of pipes does BUTTING manufacture?

        On several production lines, BUTTING produces, in a continuous process,
        longitudinally welded pipes in diameters ranging from 18 to 762 mm in
        outside diameter, with wall thicknesses up to 16 mm.
    The normal length
        manufactured is 6 or 12 m. Shorter fixed lengths or lengths up to a maximum
        of 18 m can be manufactured in a number of sizes without circumferential 
        weld.

        Pipes with wall thicknesses up to 70 mm and a maximum outside diameter
        of 3,000 mm,
    in 6-m or 12 m lengths, may be produced in our modern
        manufacturing facilities without outsourcing individual process steps. For
        lengths up to 6 m, the maximum ratio of wall thickness to outside diameter is
        around 1.2 : 10.

        manufacturing:

    • ferritic
    • ferritic-austenitic (1.4462, 1.4362, 1.4501, 1.4507)
    • austenitic (1.4541, 1.4571, 1.4306, 1.4307, 1.4404)
    • austenitic special steels
    • ferritic heat-resistant steels
    • highly corrosion resistant steels
    • highly creep resistant, cryogenic and a-magnetic steels
    • aluminium
    • cupro-nickel alloys
    • titanium and titanium alloys
    • clad materials
    • 13 % Cr steels

    6. In which countries is the BUTTING Group represented?

        BUTTING has been continually growing to this very day, thanks to its
        competence, courage, hard work and innovations. In the process,
        investments were made not only in manufacturing machinery and in our

        globalization of markets, affiliated companies were also founded in various
        countries of the world.

    7. Which services does the BUTTING Group provide?

        The core business of the internationally active Group involves processing
        stainless steels and clad materials, and the core competences in material
        grade, welding and forming technology, and in quality assurance, are
        continuously being expanded. Evidently the name BUTTING has stood for
        more than 230 years for quality and flexibility in metal processing.

    8. In which sectors are BUTTING products used?

        The high quality and reliability of our products are demonstrated by their
        wide variety of uses across many sectors of industry.

        For many decades, prefabricated BUTTING products have been in use by the
        paper and pulp industry, through water and waste water technology to
        environmental and energy technology.

        Manufacturing piping components for the aircraft and aerospace industry is
        regarded as especially challenging for a pipe manufacturer. The use of
        BUTTING products in the ARIANE carrier rocket system, the ISS space station
        and in Airbus planes shows that the highest requirements for precision and
        exact measurements as well as the high quality standard have been met.
