CoreMet Steel
Specialist Tube Supplier UK & Global
CoreMet Steel is a trusted supplier of specialist steel tubes in the UK and worldwide, providing seamless, hydraulic, mechanical, and precision tubes for demanding industrial applications.
Our specialist tubes are sourced from top-quality mills and are available in a variety of materials, shapes, and specifications for bespoke and high-precision projects.
What Is a Specialist Tube?
A specialist tube is a steel tube manufactured to precise mechanical, dimensional, or performance requirements beyond standard structural tubing. Specialist tubes are typically used in applications where accuracy, pressure resistance, heat tolerance, or material performance is critical.
These tubes may be seamless or welded and are commonly produced for hydraulic systems, mechanical engineering, boiler applications, automotive components, and precision manufacturing.
Specialist tubes are supplied in a wide range of carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel grades, with tighter tolerances and enhanced surface finishes compared to standard ERW or hollow sections.

Specialist Tube FAQ
Precision tubes are manufactured with tighter dimensional tolerances, while seamless tubes are produced without a welded seam for higher pressure resistance.
Common standards include EN 10216, EN 10305, DIN 2391, and ASTM specifications depending on the application.
Specialist steel tubes are used in hydraulic systems, precision engineering, automotive components, and high-performance industrial applications.
