Material Engineering

PROTUBO has a Material Engineering sector to help customers to choose the best pipe (raw material) specification to ensure meeting the bend design needs of their projects. The sector also carries out analyses of the metallographic and mechanical properties of both straight pipes and the final bends produced and simulates heat treatment after induction bending (where applicable).

Protubo has a laboratory to conduct these analyses and to evaluate all aspects of polyethylene coating, such as the adherence, penetration resistance, hardness and cathodic displacement of this coating.
