Boiler tubes – for pressure equipment, used at higher temperatures


Modern power devices that operate with high efficiency require the use of suitable steel tubes, to guarantee their long-term, safe and trouble-free operation. Steel tubes are important structural materials used in these facilities. These tubes are often referred to as boiler tubes.

Zeleziarne Podbrezova a.s. produces a wide range of steel tubes. Tubes for energy facilities are included in the group of tubes for pressure purposes at higher temperatures.

For production and screening, these tubes are placed high demands. Zeleziarne Podbrezova a.s. possesses the necessary certificates of quality management and product certificates.
