Very Heavy Wall (VHS) Extruded Outlets

Sivco Inc. - ExtrusionsWhere very high pressures dictate very high joint efficiency, Sivco VHS extruded outlets are specified. Sivco has the capability of extruding outlets through wall sections up to 4" thick.

VHS extrusions are made by hot forming, using infra-red and surface temperature controls. After extruding, the header is heat treated to obtain specified strength levels. Metallurgical physical tests are run to insure that the header meets or exceeds customer specifications.

Sivco's proprietary technique for extruding multi-outlet manifolds assures a cost effective, high quality product for the chemical processing industry.

These extrusions are made cold or hot. Sivco's quality assurance program requires 100% liquid penetrant examination inside and out of all Sivco extruded outlets. Single set-up machining of outlets assures uniform face to face, center to center, and outlet height dimension.
