Industrial fittings have been used for long for effective performance in pulp and paper process equipment operations, batch and continuous processing, fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, mixing, separation, and utilities.

A wide variety of industrial pipe fittings can help pulp and paper mills reduce emissions and maintain compliance with required environmental regulations, minimizing the potential for expensive leak detection and repair procedures. A range of tube fittings, ball valves, and other fluid control components used in steam systems and condensate return systems help reduce leaks and contribute significantly to overall energy savings in the paper manufacturing and processing.

The paper industry has been facing problems as instrumentation tube fittings are posed with corrosion problems due to excessive use of chemicals used in paper processing. Bleaching and instrument lines made from materials such as stainless steel get corroded in a period of few years. There is a need to come out with exotic alloy variants and materials to tackle the problem and provide optimized instrumentation tubing solutions for different industry uses.
