The Role GMAW Pulse Plays in Industrial Fabrication
Having a strong and reliable weld, is fundamental for effective, high quality industrial fabrication. However, the best welding process to use for a given project will depend on a number of different factors like the type of materials being welded, the weld position, project timeline, welder skill, and other variables. One effective welding process for […]
The Role SMAW Plays in Industrial Fabrication
Stick welding or SMAW is one of the oldest methods of welding. It has been around for over a hundred years, and it is still one of the most common processes in industrial fabrication. Technological advances have made it even better throughout the years for more types of manufacturing and fabrication. Learn more about SMAW, […]
The Role FCAW Plays in Industrial Fabrication
Welding and industrial fabrication are crucial components in a wide range of industrial applications. It is imperative that the best welding process be used for any given project to ensure that the fabrication process meets all necessary quality levels, time constraints, and budgetary concerns. One highly effective welding process that is ideal for a range […]
Checklist for Selecting a Pipe Fabrication Company
One invaluable component across most areas of the industrial sector is piping. Having well-constructed piping is the key to the initial and continued success of a project. The necessity of quality piping makes it extremely important to select a pipe fabrication company that can completely meet these needs. From quality design and construction to expedited, […]
Why Modular LACT Units Are Beneficial
The Lease Automatic Custody Transfer, or LACT unit, is responsible for transferring crude oil from the production site to pipelines and storage facilities. These indispensable units also accurately measure the amount of substance being transported so that each party can receive monetary compensation. Why Modular Process Skids Benefit LACT Units LACT units are composed of […]
Why Post-Weld Heat Treatments Are So Important
For high-quality welding projects, post-weld heat treatment is an essential part of the process. These specific heat treatments drastically decrease the effects of thermal stress that are created during the welding process. Thermal stress in the Heat Affected Zone occurs because metal, despite its strength and durability, is vulnerable to the high temperatures generated during […]
The Importance of Welding Pre-Treatments
STI Group is dedicated to providing the highest quality welding and fabrication services. All of our welds are rigorously tested for quality and safety. A major part of ensuring excellent weld quality begins before the welding process even makes contact with the work surface: welding pre-treatments. Pre-Treatments Ensure a Safe Weld When a welder does […]
How Structural Steel Platforms Optimize Workspaces
Space is at a premium in industrial facilities, plants, and warehouses. That is because not only must there be adequate space to place and store everything, but there also cannot be a disruption to workflow or efficiency. Fortunately, just because space is getting tight, does not necessarily mean that the facility will have to expand […]
Effective Ways to Customize Industrial Facilities With Structural Steel Fabrication
Steel ladders, steel platforms, and steel knock down units can be instrumental to effective industrial operations. These sturdy items can handle the extreme wear and tear of the industry while remaining functional. Workers use these to safely access all parts of an industrial facility and frequently, these pieces of equipment require a customized build to […]
