Petrochemical processing plants demand safety in extreme, high temperature and pressure conditions. Customers specify exceptional MetalTek alloys for superior performance and productivity in fabricated assemblies that operate under pressure at 1700 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, for 10 years or more. Our ability to sand cast very thin tube sheets 15 feet long solved an industry problem and makes MetalTek the international leader in the supply of petrochemical tube mounting sheets. Selecting centrifugals with their inherent fine grain structure for outlet manifold tees has saved petrochemical plant operators time and cost through improved weldability of assemblies and reduced maintenance.

With installations in over 400 petrochemical facilities and more than 35 countries worldwide, MetalTek provides product and materials expertise to the leading global petrochemical processors.
