MetalKeen specializes in custom stainless steel pipe prefabrication for the construction industry, delivering precision-welded pipe spools, flanges, elbows, and tees. Our fabrication services include comprehensive NDT testing and pressure testing to ensure every assembly meets your project specifications and international standards.
Our prefabrication services streamline on-site installation by delivering ready-to-install pipe spools and fittings. We work with 316 stainless steel, 304 SS, and other alloys to match your corrosion resistance and strength requirements.
Key prefabricated components include:
Straight Pipe Spools — Custom-cut and beveled to exact lengths
Flange Welding — Weld neck, slip-on, and blind flanges welded to pipe ends
Elbow & Tee Fittings — 45°, 90° elbows and equal/reducing tees, prefabricated and welded
Reducer & Coupling Assemblies — Concentric and eccentric reducers for flow transition
We employ certified welders and advanced welding techniques to ensure structural integrity and leak-free performance.

Process Step | Description |
|---|---|
Material Cutting | CNC plasma / band saw cutting for precise pipe lengths |
End Preparation | Beveling and facing per ASME B16.25 |
Fit-Up & Tacking | Jigs and fixtures ensure accurate alignment |
Welding | TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW) welding for SS pipe and fittings |
Post-Weld Treatment | Passivation and pickling to restore corrosion resistance |
Inspection & Testing | Visual inspection, NDT, and hydrostatic pressure testing |
All welds are performed by qualified welders holding AWS/ASME certifications, with full traceability documentation available.
Quality assurance is integral to our prefabrication workflow. We provide testing services tailored to your project requirements:
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT):
PT (Penetrant Testing) — Surface crack detection on welds
RT (Radiographic Testing) — Internal weld defect inspection
UT (Ultrasonic Testing) — Thickness measurement and internal flaw detection
MT (Magnetic Particle Testing) — Surface and near-surface discontinuities
Pressure Testing:
Hydrostatic Test — Water-filled pressure test at 1.5× design pressure
Pneumatic Test — Air or nitrogen leak test for sensitive systems
Test certificates provided per ASME B31.3 or customer-specified standards

Q1: What is stainless steel pipe prefabrication? Prefabrication is the off-site manufacturing of pipe spools and assemblies — including cutting, welding fittings, and testing — so they arrive at the construction site ready for installation.
Q2: What NDT tests do you provide for welded pipe? We offer PT, RT, UT, and MT testing based on your project specifications and applicable codes.
Q3: Can you fabricate pipe spools from my drawings? Yes. Send us your isometric drawings, P&IDs, or BOMs, and we will fabricate spools to your exact dimensions and specifications.
Q4: What pressure testing standards do you follow? We conduct hydrostatic and pneumatic tests in accordance with ASME B31.3, ASME VIII, or your custom requirements.
Q5: Do you provide material test reports (MTRs)? Yes. Full material traceability and mill test reports are provided with every order upon request.
