Tube-Mac® Piping Technologies is a global manufacturer and developer of non-welded piping technologies for high-pressure and demanding industrial applications. Since its foundation in 1977, Tube-Mac® has evolved from a piping repair and installation business into a specialist in advanced pipe connection systems and engineered piping solutions.
A History of Piping Innovation
Tube-Mac® was founded in 1977 in Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada, with a focus on piping system repair and installation. Its continued focus on innovation led to the development of non-welded piping technologies designed to provide an alternative to conventional welded connections.
Over the years, Tube-Mac® has developed technologies intended to address some of the challenges associated with conventional high-pressure piping installation, including hot work, installation time, welding requirements and cleanliness considerations.
The company has evolved into an advanced pipe component manufacturer, producing precision-engineered components for demanding piping applications.
Advancing Beyond Conventional Welding
Traditional high-pressure piping installation often relies on welding, which can involve skilled labour, hot-work permits, inspection requirements and environmental considerations. Tube-Mac® developed non-welded piping technologies to provide an alternative approach where welding may be impractical, costly or undesirable.
Tube-Mac®’s non-welded systems are designed to provide mechanically connected alternatives to conventional welded piping while maintaining the performance requirements of demanding industrial applications.
The technology portfolio includes 37° Flare Flanges, Retain Ring Flanges and Pyplok® connectors, providing different connection solutions across a range of pipe sizes and applications.
Tube-Mac® Non-Welded Piping Technologies
Tube-Mac® offers a range of connection technologies developed for high-pressure piping and tubing applications. Each technology addresses different piping requirements, from smaller-bore tubing to larger high-pressure piping systems.
37° Flare Flange
The 37° Flare Flange provides a mechanically connected alternative to welded flange connections for high-pressure piping applications. It is particularly suited to applications where installation without conventional welding can provide practical advantages.
Retain Ring Flange
The Retain Ring Flange is a non-welded high-pressure connection technology designed for larger pipe sizes and demanding hydraulic and industrial piping systems. It provides a mechanically secured connection while eliminating the need for conventional flange welding.
Pyplok®
Pyplok® is a mechanically swaged pipe connection system that creates a permanent non-welded connection. It is designed for applications where installation speed, cleanliness and the elimination of hot work are important considerations.
Engineering Designed for Demanding Applications
Tube-Mac®’s approach extends beyond individual fittings and components to complete piping solutions. Its technology is intended for applications where conventional welded piping can create challenges related to installation access, hot work, labour availability, cleanliness or project schedules.
Tube-Mac® supports applications across industries including marine and offshore, oil and gas, mining, metals, automotive, industrial equipment and testing applications.
Precision Manufacturing
Tube-Mac® has developed its manufacturing capabilities around the production of precision-engineered piping components. Its products are manufactured to demanding dimensional and performance requirements for use in high-pressure and critical piping applications.
The company’s focus on engineering and manufacturing has also included the development and implementation of testing practices for demanding piping environments, including impulse and vibration testing.
Quality & Certifications
Quality assurance is an important part of Tube-Mac®’s manufacturing and engineering approach. Tube-Mac® has maintained quality certification and has products or systems supported by certifications and approvals from recognized classification and certification organizations.
