Thanks to their alliance with Sandvik Materials Technology, Parker Hannifin now offers complete packages of tube fittings and tubing, which can be purchased via a single order. In addition to simplifying purchasing, the sheer volume of Parker’s business means that it has been able to secure Sandvik tubing at rates that are highly market competitive and that do not compromise on quality. A further advantage of the new service relates to the underlying product quality control. This quality control begins with an audit trail for the raw materials. Sandvik melts its own steel to ensure quality control from the point of steel melting, right through to the finished product. This level of attention to detail extends throughout the design and manufacturing chain up to and including verification of performance by independent third-party test houses. Parker Hannifin’s alliance with Sandvik covers seamless Instrumentation tubing in 316/316L stainless steel, plus a range of the most commonly-used exotic alloys including 304/304L, 6Mo, 321, SAF 2507, 625, 825 and Hastelloy C276.
