The company also manufactures longitudinally welded stainless steel rectangular and square tubes, alongside re-drawn tubes, with precise dimensional specifications.
Manufacturing and Quality Assurance
Ghalib International's manufacturing processes utilize advanced welding techniques such as GTAW, LBW, and PAW. A significant focus is placed on heat treatment, including in-line and separate furnace annealing, often with air or water quenching. This process is crucial for enhancing corrosion resistance by mitigating chromium and molybdenum segregation. Quality assurance protocols are rigorous, encompassing 100% hydro testing, on-line bright annealing, bead removal, and extensive non-destructive testing methods. These include Eddy Current Tests, Radiographic examinations, Liquid Penetration Tests, and a full suite of mechanical and corrosion tests, all conducted in adherence to international standards like ASTM, ASME, and EN. Custom surface finishes, such as various polished grit options, are also available upon request.
Applications and Industry Reach
Ghalib International's products are engineered for a broad spectrum of demanding applications across diverse industries. Their corrosion-resistant pipes and fittings are critical components for chemical, petrochemical, cryogenic, offshore and onshore oil and gas operations, shipyards, and power generation plants. Specific applications include condensers, evaporators, boilers, and super-heaters in petroleum refineries, chemical facilities, and sugar mills. Furthermore, their tubes are integral to equipment for heat recovery and waste incineration, recuperators in the steel industry, and processes for producing soda, ethylene oxide, fertilizers, milk pasteurization, and fruit juices. The company has notably contributed to significant national infrastructure projects, supplying numerous power stations throughout Pakistan.
