SFC (Europe), a UK manufacturer and stockholder of bolting for use in a variety of sectors, is constantly adapting to the changing requirements within the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors and has recently achieved the NORSOK M630 2020 D60/D60L accreditation.
NORSOK approval enables SFC to manufacture studbolts, headed product and nuts in UNS S32760 SA from ½ inch (M12) to 2½ inch (M52) diameter.
“To further strengthen our position in the supply chain we have also invested substantially in raw material from our nominated and approved mills, as per our Manufacturing Summary, SFC-MS-001, document,” comments SFC. “Part of this has been used to manufacture our core stock of studding, rolled in-house, ready to be cut, chamfered and marked, with a large range of nuts being manufactured in parallel –in order to satisfy clients urgent demands for studbolt assemblies.”
A large proportion of this material will remain as round bar which, by utilising SFC’s on-site processing capabilities, will be devoted to the production of hexagon bolts, set screws and socket products.
As well as the above NORSOK product range, SFC’s core stock also includes studding, studbolts, headed product, and nuts, in both finished and semi-finished forms as per the ASTM/ASME grades.
