BESA in partnership with the BMTFA, has launched the UK's first ever metal pipework selection tool app.
The BESA Pipe Plus app covers all aspects of pipework specification for construction and building engineering projects including guidance on all relevant materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and copper, and the appropriate jointing options, as a function of temperature and pressure.

The Story So Far
Three years in the making, what started out as a pipe dream, has now finally become a reality thanks to the collaboration of BESA's Pipework App Development Group and the British Metal Tubes and Fittings Association (BMTFA). The app development brought together manufacturers’ technical expertise, distributors’ understanding of poor specifications, and installers concerned about reducing risks associated with poor or incorrect product selection.
Both BESA and BMTFA have repeatedly warned about the risks posed by making poorly informed product choices, which can impact pressure integrity, temperature suitability, service life and performance, resulting in increased risks, extra maintenance, compliance and sign off challenges, as well as reduced system lifetime.
45% of Failures in pipework systems caused by incorrect or poor installation*
25% of Failures caused by incorrect product being used for application*
The confusion surrounding what type of welded carbon steel tube to select is a glaring example of the pitfalls the app will help contractors avoid. There are two distinct types of this kind of tube: cold-formed or hot-finished.
While both look largely the same when installed, they have very different performance and compliance characteristics, meaning that cold-formed may not be suitable for a range of applications.
The BESA Pipe Plus app is a portal to a comprehensive industry database to support accurate product specification including details of steel grades, technical delivery conditions, installation guidance and other BESA supporting information. The App also directs users to BMTFA members who can supply more detailed product information and support.
So what are you waiting for? Start saving your clients, specifiers and contractors time and money by avoiding costly mistakes and bringing more clarity to your supply chain by downloading the free BESA Pipe Plus App now!
