Things to know when buying your chip conveyor pipe:

    - What grade of steel am I getting? 
    - How long was it stored and where?
    - What thickness is it? .....1/4" or is it only .240"?
    - What kind of weld? .Spiral, ERW, or seamless? 
    - Is the type of weld ideal for my application? 
    - Is it inspected is before shipment? 
    - Can you chamfer the ends for field welding? 
    - Can I get a mill test certificate? 
    - What is the allowable deviation on diameter, roundness, and thickness?
    - Can I get special sizes or wall thicknesses or material hardness?

Pipe quality affects conveying capacity, operating costs, and installation costs.  Out of round pipe will be difficult to install, dented pipe will wear faster, and improper welding will cause chip damage.  This is why Mektek has stringent requirements for chip pipe and why we inspect every foot of pipe sold.

We stock pipe in all sizes and can fabricate to non-standard diameters. We have access to a wide range of specialty pipe including heavy wall and abrasion resistant pipe. 

Ask the right questions and you'll be surprised to find that....... "not all pipe is created equal".
