Valex pipes & Tube

Home    Valex pipes & Tube

Steelage Alloys supplies premium-quality Stainless Steel Valex Pipes & Tubes known for ultra-clean surfaces, precise dimensional control, and exceptional corrosion resistance. These tubes are specially designed for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, biotech, and ultra-high-purity (UHP) gas systems, where the highest standards of cleanliness and surface finish are non-negotiable.

Valex-grade pipes undergo advanced cold-working and electropolishing, followed by rigorous testing and cleaning in ISO-certified cleanrooms. These pipes are typically used in environments that demand low particle generation, minimal surface roughness, and chemical compatibility with high-purity process gases and fluids.
