Sandvik secures order for nuclear tubes and pipes
.

Sandvik will supply nuclear tubes and pipes in 29 dimensions in grade 3R65, a molybdenum-alloyed austenitic stainless chromium-nickel steel with low carbon content. 

Sandvik Materials Technology recently secured a record order for nuclear tubes and pipes from a low carbon energy company for the development of nuclear power stations in the United Kingdom.

Sandvik will supply nuclear tubes and pipes in 29 dimensions in grade 3R65, a molybdenum-alloyed austenitic stainless chromium-nickel steel with low carbon content. The tubes will be mainly used to connect different systems close to the second reactor at the Hinkley Point C power station in Bristol, England.

The materials will require a high degree of cleanliness to meet the nuclear RCC-M design code, with firm controls on instructions and procedures and regular on-site third-party inspections during manufacturing.

Anders Frelin, Regional Sales Manager, Nuclear Power, EMEA, Sandvik Materials Technology said, “We succeeded thanks to a strong commitment from everyone involved, from the first customer sales contact, through the internal supply chain to final delivery with impressive teamwork. It is a great feeling when everything comes together, and you book this kind of order. We have been working on details, instructions, and procedures for a very long time and it’s thanks to the efforts from everyone involved that we finally secured this contract.”  

“We are proud to have been selected as supplier for this prestigious contract, which confirms our position as the leading producer of nuclear tubes,” said Patrick Larsson, Production Manager, Sandvik Materials Technology.

The tubes and pipes will be manufactured at Sandvik’s production unit in Sandviken, Sweden. 

This is the second order from the energy company for Sandvik nuclear materials. In 2018, the company was commissioned to provide a package of tubes for the first reactor at Hinkley Point C. The order was delivered during 2019 and 2020.
