Neither the contractor nor the end user had much experience with this material, whose exotic nature posed huge risks of welding failures and added costs. Unable to find anyone capable of welding Hastelloy® pipe, the customer turned to the welding experts at HPS. ## The Strategy Not only did HPS have the experience and qualifications to work with this rare piping material, but we were able to adjust our project schedule to fit the customer’s needs, as well as fabricate much of the work offsite to minimize congestion on the project. We visited the customer’s site to detail the piping, then fabricated as much as possible in our Manassas, Virginia pipe fabrication shop before returning to the site for installation. Using pipe cutting equipment and TIG welding machines, HPS installed 200 linear feet of the 0.75” Hastelloy® 40 pipe, and when complete our team pressure tested the entire installation to ensure that it met American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B31.3 power piping standards. ![HPS-material-selection-thumbnail-2](https://blog.highpurity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HPS-material-selection-thumbnail-2.png?width=280&height=303&name=HPS-material-selection-thumbnail-2.png) ## Sanitary pipe and tube material selection guide See how matching materials to processes boosts performance and increases safety in your operations.

HPS was able to provide flexibility for our customer, and through proactive dialogue and communication with the contractor, the designer, and the end user, we were able to execute the project in the most timely and efficient way possible.    ## The Result HPS’ previous experience and knowledge of Hastelloy® added value to the project and ultimately convinced the contractor to trust us with the job. After the successful installation, the contractor continued utilizing our technical expertise to help educate their team and the end user. We were proud that this job led to not just one, but many happy customers!  ## Contact High Purity Systems Have a question about a piping challenge? Want to discuss an upcoming project? Let’s talk.
