Quality and reliability are the backbone of Arabian Pipes Company (APC)'s growing reputation as a leader in its field.

Increasingly, the company is playing an integral role in the growth and development of Saudi Arabia as a global industrial force.
In recent years the Kingdom has witnessed dramatic growth in its oil, gas and petrochemical industries, sectors which depend upon quality piping and coating systems for their operational efficiency.
Until recently, Saudi Arabia had to procure overseas to meet this demand necessitating costly imports and occasional delivery problems.
APC is now meeting this demand - both domestically and elsewhere in the Gulf and Middle East - cost effectively and efficiently from its facilities across the Kingdom.
Since 1995 APC has operated a world-class ERW tube mill incorporating the most advanced pipe-making, weld and testing facilities, hi-tech laboratories and the latest handling and storage methods.
The mill's nominal pipe diameter ranges from 6 to 20 inches. Pipe thicknesses range from 3.2mm (0.128 inch) to 16mm (0.625 inch). Any standard length of pipe is available up to 15.24m.
A wide range of pipe products is offered, though the final choice of product specification is determined by the particular application.
From special purpose piping for the oil and gas industries (line pipes, high test line pipe, casing and tubing for the transport of oil, gas and water from production operations) to critical and high-pressure services and structural piping, APC can meet the challenge.
For the petroleum sector, the long distance and safe transportation and distribution of oil and gas requires pipes meeting the most stringent specification levels including API (5CT and 5L up to X70), ASTM, JIS, DIN and BS.
Quality control and testing are integral to meeting these stringent specifications, assurance procedures that APC is fully equipped to handle.
APC will also commission a Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process pipes with a new mill being built to meet increased demand worldwide for a high quality manufacturer and supplier of wider range of pipes.
The new mill represents a major investment for the company with production capability of 300,000 metric tonnes of steel pipes, from 16 to 48 inches, per year.
The project is considered a fundamental and significant stage for implementing APC's strategy of becoming the Middle East's first specialist integrated products supplier.
The SAW pipes will be used as oil and gas pipelines, casings, in the chemical and petrochemical industries, water transmission, piling pipes, structural pipes and other high-pressure applications.
APC's new coating factory, inaugurated by HRH Prince Salman Bin Abdul Aziz, the Governor of Riyadh, has captured a significant share of the market.
Arabian Yadong Coating Ltd is a joint venture between Arabian Pipes Company and Yadong Coating International and since commissioning of the coating facility in Riyadh in 2003, the company has been actively serving the needs for the local industrial, as well as the regional market, with various projects on Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) single layer coating to Saudi Aramco Specification 09-SAMSS-089, and three layer polyethylene coating to Din 30670.
The state-of-the-art technology was purchased from Yadong Coating Group, a multinational corporation with leading-edge technology and expertise in pipeline coating and associated services.
The plant is capable of coating steel pipes size from 6" up to 48" in diameter, and from 10 metres up to 18 metres in length.
The annual production capacity is over three million square metres for FBE Single Layer coating to Saudi Aramco Specification as well as Canadian Specification CSA Z245.20-02, and over two million sq metres for three layer Polyethylene coating meeting Din 30670 and other international standards.
The joint venture plant is set up with this vertical integration within the existing APC tube mill in Riyadh.
APC has already appointed a number of expert companies to promote its services and products throughout the Gulf, Yemen and the US.
The company is also planning to expand its marketing link to cover the Far East and European Countries.
Companies all over the world are now benefiting from APC products and services, receiving world-class high quality pipes and coatings delivered to their projects destinations wherever they may be.
