Soldering, Welding & Press Equipment

Soldering and welding are joining processes used in pipe work installations. Soldering involves melting a filler material, usually a tin-lead alloy, to bond metals at lower temperatures. Welding, on the other hand, melts the base metals, fusing them together with or without additional filler material, resulting in a stronger bond. Common welding methods include arc welding and gas welding. Both techniques are crucial in various industries, with soldering prevalent within the industry, each serving distinct purposes based on the required joint strength and application.

Some contractors hire their press tooling but Smith Brothers do have a small range of tooling and jaws should customers wish to purchase.
