Metapic Ltd

Established in 1960 METAPIC are specialist contractors, offering pickling/descaling and passivation services from our own works.

The importance of pickling, passivating and cleaning Stainless Steel - Carbon steel cannot be stressed enough. These processes remove rusts, heat scales, weld contamination and can detect faults in the product.

Furthermore, stainless steel - Carbon steel can acquire surface contamination even in non-corrosive environments. Therefore, the possibility of corrosion is greatly reduced and the life of the treated stainless steel increased. Metapic procedures are generally in acordance with ASTM A380.

Internal Finish

For hydraulic use the internal wall of the pipe can be coated with a number of oils. I.E. Esso Rust-Ban, Shell Ensis, Tectyl 506 etc. If oil is not required the bore can be Nitrogen purged, or Silica Gel desiccant bags can be inserted into the bore. All ends and ports are then either capped, plugged or taped.

External Finish

Where requested external surfaces of pipe can be primed with a paint suitable to customers requirements.

This proccess is also use to remove limescale and rust from used pipework and heat-exchangers.
