Pipeline Equipment Inc.

Flexibility. Reliability. Economy. Longevity.

The Extrusion Division of Pipeline Equipment, Inc. (formerly SISCO Specialty Products) is one of only a few companies in the U.S. with the capacity and experience to produce single and multiple outlet headers utilizing the closed-die forming process. The company was founded in 1997 and has more than 50 years of managerial experience in extruded headers.

Extrusions can be manufactured in a wide variety of carbon, alloy and stainless steels, nickel, chrome-nickel alloys and many other ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Extrusions provide butt-weld joints that are easily radiographed and save fit-up and welding time. 



Extrusions provide the customer with:

Flexibility - Outlet configuration and location, material selection, and varied industrial applications are all a part of the flexibility provided by extrusions. Utilizing extrusions in the design process reduces erosion, pressure drops and stress concentration. Extrusions can be produced to meet the code requirements of pipeline and gas transmission, chemical manufacturing and power generation applications.

Reliability - Outlet tolerances can be closely produced and maintainted. Extrusions eliminate the need for reinforcement pads, provide butt-welded joints and allow from complete radiographic inspection.

Economy - Extruded outlets save fabrication costs (fit-up, welding and inspection) and are more durable than "stubbed in" branch construction.

Longevity - Extruded headers have a longer lifespan (less erosion wear) and a lower repair cost than conventionally constructed headers. Additionally, extrusions reduce maintenance costs due to their durability and corresponding reduction in lost production time.
