Decisive criterion: Surface qualityExtensive welding skills expertise
The use of material-compatible welding procedures for
processing non-corrosive stainless steels guarantees you
problem-free product use: our in-house welding tech-
nology for cutting, forming and joining is extensive.
Take advantage of our more than 60 years’ experience in
welding more than 85 stainless steels and clad materials.
We use all the current welding processes in production,
including plasma, TIG, MSG, SAW, laser beam and elec-
tron beam welding processes and even orbital, TIG hot
wire and MAG welding. Automated welding of circum-
ferential welds up to a diameter of 1 200 mm.
The individual production of the pipes and vessels is
done as solid manual work, our welding processes are
automated, as far as possible.
You can take advantage of our expertise:
• Approx. 1 900 welding procedure tests
• More than 300 welders tested and certified in
accordance with national and international regulati-
ons (DIN EN ISO and ASME IX).
• Approx. 1 200 current welding certificates
5PLANT CONSTRUCTION
Decisive criterion: Surface quality
The bright metallic surface guarantees optimal corrosion
resistance and thus ensures product quality.
At BUTTING, pipes, components ready for installation
and vessels are always subjected to chemical cleaning
(pickling). This reliable, environmentally-friendly proce-
dure ensures lasting corrosion resistance after forming,
welding and annealing.
Our pickling equipment is designed to ensure the com-
plete surface treatment of products. All the pickling
baths and the removal of process waste water are cons-
tantly monitored.
In addition to the full body pickling or spray pickling, we
also offer you the following surface treatments:
• Grinding
• Raumatic surface finishing
• Glass bead blasting
• Shot peening

For more than 240 years, the name BUTTING has stood
for quality and reliability in metal processing. BUTTING’s
high product quality of all the processes is supported by
their reproducibility and a quality assurance department
with an accredited laboratory, recognised by indepen-
dent classification companies. We can arrange accep-
tance on an ex works basis, deliver your pipes ready for
laying and thus reduce the amount of checking that you
have to undertake on the construction site.
We check the performance of our machines and staff on
a permanent basis. The production results are evaluated
immediately, taking quality requirements into account.
We continuously monitor the quality of our longitudinal
and circumferential welds on video or in other ways while
welding takes place and we also carry out internal X-ray
and dye-penetrant tests.
In order to ensure that we meet project-specific
demands, a wide range of internal and external testing
equipment is available.
At BUTTING we use all the modern testing procedures:
• Non-destructive tests include:

12 PLANT CONSTRUCTION
Prefabricated BUTTING pipes
The prefabrication of pipes is a form of installation
moved forward into the production plant, using isometric
drawings, pipe plans or models. By directly processing
our pipe here at the plant, we optimise the quality of the
pipes and supply you with products ready-to-lay or ready
for installation at reasonable prices.
Your added value at BUTTING:
• Approved internal welding technology
• Detailed planning with 3 -D models, isometric
drawings and static calculations as a preliminary
test for micro projects
• Customer-related project documentation
• Accredited laboratory
• Logistically optimal services for international shipping
• Fast pre-material availability through own pipe
production
• Forming possibilities up to a wall thickness of 80 mm
• Reduction of site welding by up to 80 %
• Optimum pipe fit-up for site welding thanks to
special calibration options for the pipe ends
In short: prefabricated pipe parts guarantee you high
quality, speedy installation and cost reductions (invest-
ment and lifecycle costs)
A large number of sectors are impressed by our
high-quality products and the considerable poten-
tial savings on offer:
• The chemical and petrochemical industry
• The water and waste water industry
• The oil and gas industry
• Drilling and well construction technology
• Energy and environmental technology
• The pulp and paper industry
• Nuclear and conventional power station
technology
• Shipbuilding technology
• Aerospace technology
13PLANT CONSTRUCTION
Prefabricated pipes – your benefits
The more welding and pickling is already performed on
BUTTING’s premises instead of on the construction site,
the greater the potential savings that can be achieved –
while at the same time reducing environmental damage
on the installation site. Workshop welds can be perfor-
med under optimal conditions. The maintenance, repair
and downtime costs of your system are reduced.
There are clear arguments in favour of prefabrication:
• Safety of materials, since differences are recognised
in good time
• Avoidance of mistakes involving incorrect materials
on the construction site
• Reduction in space requirement at the construction
site
• Reduction in construction site staffing through a
high degree of prefabrication
• Reduction of on-site installation time, because up to
70 % of the circumferential welding and up to 100 %
of the branch welding has already been performed
in the workshop
• Installation seams at BUTTING are determined by
experienced site managers
• Optimised product quality through pickling of the
entire, piping components ready for installation
• Increased planning security regarding the sche-
duled installation planning through timely prefabri-
cation in our plant, producing reliable quality
• Comprehensive know-how in packaging and trans-
portation direct to your construction site
• Errors in bills of materials are already revealed
during prefabrication
In short: Using prefabricated piping components reduces
the amount of welding and also the radioscopy required
on your construction site. We provide you with spools
ready for installation, including final documentation.
14 PLANT CONSTRUCTION
Prefabrication of pipes
Often the longitudinally welded BUTTING pipe is the
primary product and main component of prefabrica-
ted pipes. As a recognised pipe manufacturer, we can
provide both small and large quantities in our pipe
production from coil and plate steel. Thus we offer you
complete flexibility.
The use of high-quality raw materials, selected for the
project and the product, the pipes we manufacture
ourselves and our carefully chosen fittings, flanges and
special components guarantee you first-class workman-
ship - even with complex pipe systems.
We will satisfy the specific requirements of your project:
• Restricted tolerances
• Special sizes
• Processing of special materials
• Individual quality requirements
BUTTING invests continuously in its manufacturing
facilities. Based on our longstanding experience and
comprehensive craftsmanship, we always use state-of-
the-art technology. This guarantees reproducible product
quality for your particular purposes.
Take advantage of the possibilities of mechanical
processing in our manufacturing centre for machine
tolerances in welding constructions:
• Turning from Ø 1 200 mm up to 6 m in length
• Milling up to L 14.0 m/H 3.2 m/D 1.5 m
• CNC-5 -axis simultaneous milling
• Laser cutting system
• Plasma cutting system
• Water jet cutting systems
Prefabrication of pipes – your benefits
15PLANT CONSTRUCTION
Prefabrication of pipes – your benefits
BUTTING has its own works construction departments
for designing complex components and vessels. This
puts us in a position to increase planning quality, shorten
project throughput times and reduce costs.
Our services guarantee you:
• Design of vessels and reactors as a preliminary test
• Better reaction speed on the construction site by
developing installation documentation
• Optimised disposition of materials through carefully
planned bills of materials
• Increased flexibility in adapting the isometric
drawings and bills of materials to the demands of a
project
• Security regarding the scheduled installation
planning through timely prefabrication in our plant,
producing reliable quality
We coordinate suitable production processes with the
customer. In order to optimise quality, welded joints at
the installation site can be minimised, for example by
integrated bending instead of welding in of elbows.

Clad spools ready for installation
In order to optimise the quality of the pipeline and to
reduce costs we process clad pipes directly into spools
ready for installation. For this purpose we use clad semi-
finished products, like weld-clad flanges, elbows, tees
and reducers. The corrosion resistant layer is subjec-
ted to pickling and passivation at the works, as well as
non-destructive testing according to the relevant speci-
fications. Thus, potential savings with regard to the instal-
lation time on site later are achieved.
Advantages of clad spools and components ready for
installation:
• Use of high quality semi-finished products made by
BUTTING
• High degree of automation and high reproducibility
• First class manufacturing quality, among others
through a continuous quality assurance
• Minimisation of welds and installation times on site

Production of vessels, tanks and apparatus
BUTTING manufactures vessels, equipment, large tanks
and columns in multiple pieces or in one piece in line
with customer specifications.
Thus vessels in sizes from around
• 40 m in length,
• 6 m in diameter,
• and 60 t in weight
have been manufactured in one piece.
Segmented construction is on offer for specific local
situations. We manufacture the vessel using state-of-the-
art technology under ideal production conditions.
We dismantle it into the largest sections possible for
transport and optimal on-site installation. Thus we trans-
fer workshop quality and the benefit of short installation
times to the construction site.
If construction in one piece or segmented construction
is not possible, for example in the construction of large
tanks, we supply precisely cut and formed materials to
the construction site. These are assembled and welded
by our experienced installation teams.
Our tried and tested welding processes are:
• Plasma
• TIG
• MIG
• MAG
• SAW

Supervising around the world
For decades, BUTTING has been demonstrating its abi-
lity in monitoring installation work and supervising pro-
jects all over the world. In addition to cultural differences
and linguistic barriers, the different technical abilities of
the skilled workers in the guest countries is the principal
factor that makes work more difficult there. We therefore
represent the interests of our customers on a number of
construction sites of the pulp and paper industry.
• Choosing appropriate installation companies
• Induction of employees in the processing of stain-
less steel
• Performance of welding training sessions
• Expert construction site supervision for pipe and
vessel installation work
• Deadline monitoring for installation work
• Control of the qualitative design and execution
In addition to a competitive price, we convince people
through our experience in technical completion work,
our flexibility and professionalism, as was shown in the
following projects, for example:
• Voith, Hainan, China: Monitoring of the fitting of
16 pulper machines weighing a total of around 450 t
• Mondi, Syktyvkar/Russia: 7 outward-facing

BUTTING: The parent plant in Knesebeck/Germany
BUTTING is deeply rooted in Knesebeck, in the district
of Gifhorn, Lower Saxony. Since 1945, this is BUTTING’s
parent plant. We have grown continuously on that site
since then. On the works site, which now comprises
more than 530 000 m², more than 60 000 t of stainless
steel and clad steel are processed each year.
Today, BUTTING in Knesebeck is one of the largest
employers of the region. More than 1 300 employees
work at the plant in Knesebeck, and just under 100 app-
rentices are continually trained in 11 different trades.
The focus of the activities in Knesebeck lies in manufac-
turing longitudinally welded pipes from coils and plate,
processing into pipe components ready to be installed
as part of comprehensive prefabrication capacities, and
in the production of special vessels.

BUTTING in China
BUTTING/ China manufactures in Tieling, mainly for
the Chinese market. A number of projects and package
projects have been produced jointly by BUTTING in Ger-
many and in China, taking advantage of synergy effects.
There are economic arguments in favour of BUTTING
China. On the one hand our customers receive tried-and-
tested BUTTING quality as a result of the good techni-
cal performance of our Chinese employees. They are
trained, inducted and monitored by BUTTING staff from
Schwedt who are always on-site. On the other hand, the
moderate price level is an argument in favour of carrying
out the work directly in China.
In Tieling, we use a production hall of more than
6 000 m² which is equipped with comprehensive pro-
duction facilities for vessel and plant construction.
For the production of thin-walled vessels in standing
positions, the hall has a crane height of 18 m.
