Uniflow Copper Tubes (UCT) entered the copper tube industry in 2007 with a factory
based in Chennai. Initial operations involved manufacturing copper tubes for the HVAC&R
industry in and around the Chennai region. Receiving positive feedback from the market for
our products, the supplies soon started to expand all over the southern regions of India.
Currently, UCT has the product line catering to all industries requiring copper tubes and
operates in markets across Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala,
Andaman and Pondicherry. Uniflow also exports its tubes to neighbouring countries like Sri
Lanka and Maldives.

UCT has always strived to improve the quality and workmanship of its products. This has
been achieved by combining the extensive technical knowledge with stringent in-house
quality control and testing methods. Over the years, UCT has received several approvals and
accolades from some of the major OEMs and top consultants in the industry, thereby
establishing itself as one of the largest copper tubes manufacturer in South India.

UCT is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, demonstrating its ability to provide products
and services that meet statutory and regulatory requirements. The company aims to enhance
customer satisfaction through a continuously improving QMS and assurance of conformity. It
prides itself at providing unrivalled customer service to its clientele.

Commitment to quality:

UCT is also an ISO 14001:2015 certified company, practising processes keeping in mind
their environmental impact and putting in place systems that aid recycling and reducing
wastes, which in-turn reduces cost and improves efficiency within the organisation.

In addition, UCT also holds a RoHS compliance certificate, which restricts the use of
certain hazardous substances. The substances banned under RoHS are lead (Pb), mercury
(Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). These restricted materials are hazardous to the
environment and are dangerous in terms of occupational exposure during manufacturing or
disposal.

The tubes are manufactured to stringent Indian and International standards, and are
suitable for different applications such as air conditioning, refrigeration, plumbing, medical
gas and general engineering.

The tubes are manufactured to meet the exact mechanical and chemical properties as
specified by standards such as ASTM B280/ ASTM B68/ ASTM B75/ JIS H3300/ IS 2501,
ensuring that the tube does not fail due to leakage or fatigue. Tubes manufactured are
continuously tested for defects by Eddy current test units as per ASTM E243.

At every stage of the production process, samples are tested to ensure product quality:

Incoming raw material is analysed to ensure it meets the

required standard and the sample copper is checked for
chemical content.

The extruded shell concentricity and dimensional

checks are carried out.

Further dimensional checks are adopted at every step of

the drawing process through to the final product.

Every finished length of copper tube is tested

to guarantee tube soundness.

Finally finished tube samples are taken to carry

mechanical tests (chemical analysis, tensile strength,
hardness, elongation and eddy current).

Cleanliness and Appearance:

UCT implements a QAP (quality assurance plan) to ensure that the highest quality tubes
reach the customers. Tubes manufactured are continuously tested for defects by eddy
current test units. ACR copper coils and pipes are dehydrated, degreased and capped to
maintain the internal cleanliness of the tubes. The residue levels are kept below 0.038g/m2 as
specified by the ASTM standards. Both the inside and outside surface diameters will be clean
and bright with the finish being smooth and free from slivers, scale, open grains and major
metal defects or inclusions.

UCT's VRF/VRV range copper tubes are suitable for high-pressure refrigerants such as
R410A and R32, which are ozone friendly refrigerants. These tubes are identified and
protected with pink caps embossed with Uniflow logo to designate they are “high pressure
refrigerant tubes”. R410A for example has a 60% higher operating pressure than R22 and
requires a thicker wall tube and significantly stronger copper fittings. The tube is also identified
with ink marking along its length stating the brand name, conforming standard and size.
