Process Piping Capabilities
C&A Group offers a wide range of process pipe fabrication services utilizing a variety of methods and materials. Check out more details on our services below:
C&A Group is experienced in process pipe fabrication in many different materials:
- Ductile Iron
- Carbon Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Copper
- PVC
- ABS
- HDPE – High Density Polyethylene
- PP – Polypropylene
Threaded pipe is a common pipe connection method utilized in process pipe fabrication when working with pipe sizes Ø2” and smaller – but sometimes larger! Threaded pipe connections can be used for low pressure or high-pressure applications which provide great flexibility when choosing this pipe connection method. C&A Group has the capability to provide threaded connections in NPT, BSPP, EUE, or other custom threads. Our manual threading machines and CNC machines can cut any type of thread and our quality control gauges verify accuracy prior to fit-up and assembly.
Flanged pipe connections are the most common connection in process pipe fabrication in pipe sizes greater than Ø2” but can be used in smaller pipe sizes. Flanges are a versatile connection method for many different pipe materials, pressures, and orientations where threaded pipe cannot be easily assembled or serviced. C&A Group manufactures prefabricated flanged pipe spools that are quality control inspected for weld quality, and surface finish – paint or other.
C&A Group specializes in process pipe fabrication for sanitary applications used in food & beverage, chemical processing, and water processing. Sanitary piping tube & clamp connections are a flexible design for easy assembly/disassembly of pipe sections and components, which is ideal for cleaning, service, access, and manual adjustments to the process (Flow boards, hose connections, etc.). C&A Group’s expert sanitary process pipe fabricators are dedicated to delivering the highest quality, cleanest, and precise piping system for your process.
C&A Group’s process pipe fabrication services include the use of rigid couplings (Victaulic or other), typically used in steel pipe systems for water or wastewater applications. Rigid couplings are a fast and effective method for joining pipe together and our facility is equipped with small – large diameter pipe groove rollers or CNC Lathes to machine a groove into the end for the gasket and clamp to seat in and seal the connection.
C&A Group provides expert welding services for various materials and methods of process pipe fabrication. We specialize in low pressure process piping used for utilities and process fluids utilized throughout process facilities or municipal water/wastewater systems. We also fabricate high pressure piping used for hydraulics. We also provide sanitary purge welding services for sanitary pipe welding needed in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical applications.
C&A Group provides top quality soldered and brazed pipe connection methods for copper utility piping and plumbing. Typically used on gas, water, or fuel piping systems, these connections utilize heat and a filler wire to make a connection between the pipe and the fitting.
C&A Group’s plastic process pipe fabrication consists of two methods of connection which are dependant on material: Bonded or Fused. Bonded pipe connections utilize cleaners, solvents, and glues to bond plastic pipe and fittings together (ABS, PVC). Fused pipe connections utilize heat to melt the base material and compression force to fuse plastic pipe and fittings together (HDPE, PP). The type of material utilized in the process pipe fabrication determines the connection type.
