Steam Generator Tubes
A3213
Since 1974, we have supplied over 500 nuclear power plants globally, establishing our Montbard facility as a leader in seamless tube manufacturing.
Steam generators are essential components in nuclear reactors, converting feedwater into steam using heat from the reactor core. Each generator typically contains 3,000 to 11,000 tubes, optimizing heat transfer and power generation.
Our tubes are manufactured to meet strict performance standards, ensuring safety and reliability. Key benefits include controlled manufacturing processes, a unique production route, and predictable material behavior. Additionally, the integrity of our tubes is crucial for reactor safety, with enhanced detection capabilities during inspections, ensuring compliance with global regulatory standards.
