M A T E R I A L S Global Stainless has realised the exceptional value that it can give to tank and vessel fabricators by taking on the tricky but rewarding knuckling service of radius forming the edges of domes and cones. Lincoln Raikes, managing director of Global Stainless Industrial and Global Stainless Artworks says, “Our tank fabricator customers base just keeps growing when people hear about the range of service and the quality we achieve in our knuckled domes just gets better”. “It takes a lot of skill to operate a knuckling machine and perform a ripple free knuckle at the exact diameter so that it fits perfectly to a tank cylinder,” Mr Raikes says. Most of Global Stainless’ new work comes through word of mouth advertising when fabricators hear CAPACITIES • Certified pressure vessel ends • Light wall domes & cones from 2mm thick • Medium weight domes up 12mm thick • From 100mm to 3200mm diameter • Knuckle rollers sizes 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100 , 125, 150 and 200mm radius’s O F F E R A K N U C K L I N G S E R V I C E F O R Y O U R D O M E TA N K E N D R E Q U I R E M E N T S . 56 December 2017 it can guarantee that correct circumference before the domes or cone is even made, which means the fabricator can start making the tank before the dome arrives.
