During the past decade advances in orbital welding, fabrication, and materials have contributed to the production of very high-quality piping systems. These advances have been driven by the need to control contamination in semiconductor process gas lines and to avoid contamination of pharmaceutical and bioengineered products, which require smooth, uniform, consistent high-quality welds.

Orbital welding, in combination with modern fabrication technology, has become the standard joining method for high-purity piping systems and is used successfully for food, beverage and dairy applications. Arc Machines, manufacturer of orbital tube, pipe and tubesheet welding systems, offers this free paper which was presented at the Annual World Tube Congress.

Find out how the leaders in these specialized industries are meeting these new challenges.
