Metinox Overseas offers stainless steel tubes in 304/304l, 316/316l, duplex steel pipes in grade 2205 and super duplex steel tubes in grade 2507 and nickel alloy tubes such as Inconel 625 in seamless, welded, instrumentation, heat-exchanger and U-bend forms. One key condition on sourcing of tubing for a project that is linked to SABIC is that all consignment must be sourced from a manufacturer already known to SABIC on its approved vendor list with documentation that can be traced back to the manufacturer and is subject to third party audit. Metinox Overseas manufactures and exports seamless and welded stainless steel, duplex, super duplex, nickel alloy and carbon steel tubing to ASTM, ASME, DIN and API specifications, and can provide mill test certificates and PMI/hydrostatic testing as required - all with approval from SABIC. Our instrumentation, heat-exchanger and process tubing products are already trusted by petrochemical EPC contractors, MEP consultants and procurement teams across the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia, with three generations of metallurgical experience and an ISO 9001 certified quality system. The third-party inspection, on-time dispatch of tubes to various parts of the world from our stock points in Mumbai, Kalamboli and Taloja, customisation of size & wall thickness etc., ensures that no tube is dispatched without passing the audit before reaching your site.

What Does “SABIC Approved” Mean?
A short, genuinely informative explainer — this is the section competitors skip entirely and where featured-snippet and topical-authority signals are won.
- Definition: being on SABIC's Approved Vendor List (AVL) means a manufacturer's quality system, material traceability, and testing protocols have been vetted against SABIC's engineering standards (SES/SAES-equivalent specifications) for use on SABIC and affiliate petrochemical projects.
- Why it matters: SABIC-linked EPC contractors and procurement teams are often contractually required to source tubing only from approved or SABIC-compliant manufacturers, reducing project risk and material failure liability.
- How Metinox supplies to this standard: raw material sourced from traceable, certified mills; production controlled to ASTM/ASME/DIN specifications SABIC references; full documentation package (MTC, PMI reports, hydro test certificates, dimensional reports) issued with every shipment; third-party inspection (TPI) coordination available on request (SGS, Bureau Veritas, TUV, Lloyd's).
Product Overview
SABIC approved tubes from Metinox Overseas are supplied in seamless and welded construction across stainless steel, duplex/super duplex, nickel alloy, and carbon/alloy steel grades, in instrumentation, process, and heat-exchanger tube forms and manufactured to meet the material and documentation standards referenced in SABIC project specifications.

FAQs
A SABIC approved tube is tubing manufactured by a supplier listed on SABIC's Approved Vendor List (AVL), meaning the manufacturer's material, production process, and quality documentation have been vetted against SABIC's engineering and material standards for use on SABIC and affiliate petrochemical projects.
We supply 304/304L, 316/316L, 321, duplex 2205, super duplex 2507, nickel alloys (Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy), and carbon/alloy steel tubes manufactured to ASTM, ASME, DIN, and API standards, in seamless and welded construction.
Every order ships with an EN 10204 Type 3.1 or 3.2 mill test certificate, dimensional inspection report, and hydrostatic/PMI test reports where applicable. Third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas, TUV, Lloyd's) can be arranged on request.
Yes. OD, wall thickness, cut length, and end finish (plain, beveled, threaded) can be customised to project drawings and specifications.
Lead time depends on grade, size, and order volume; ready stock at our Mumbai, Kalamboli, and Taloja warehouses allows faster dispatch on standard sizes, while custom specifications are quoted with a production timeline at the time of order.
