Custom Fabricated Metal Components – Meaning, Process & Industrial Uses

Every industry — whether oil & gas, chemical processing, power plants, railways, food, or construction — needs custom fabricated metal components that are built exactly as per design.

Standard components often don’t fit complex systems. This is where fabrication plays a vital role.

What Are Custom Fabricated Metal Components?

These are non-standard metal parts made specifically for a project’s requirement. They are designed, cut, welded, formed, or machined to match exact dimensions.

Examples

Pipe spools
Custom brackets
Pressure components
Flanges
Fabricated assemblies
Skid units
Supports & frames
Tanks & vessels

Why Fabrication Is Needed?

✔ Standard parts don’t always fit — plants need unique shapes, sizes, angles, or thicknesses.
✔ Faster installation — pre-fabricated parts reduce on-site welding and errors.
✔ Lower downtime — perfect fit means smooth installation.
✔ Higher safety — better accuracy means better sealing and fewer failures.

Types of Fabricated Metal Components

1. Pipe Spools — Pre-welded pipe sections with flanges, bends, tees, supports.
2. Frames & Structures — Used in machinery, platforms, skids, equipment supports.
3. Tanks & Vessels — Process vessels, storage tanks, pressure components.
4. Custom Brackets & Supports — Used in HVAC, equipment mounting, pipelines.
5. Assemblies — Multiple fabricated parts fitted into one engineered unit.

Fabrication Process Explained

Simple & Humanized Steps

Step 1 — Design & Drawing: Client shares drawings or Moksh Tubes creates them.
Step 2 — Material Selection: SS, CS, Alloy Steel, Duplex, Nickel Alloys, etc.
Step 3 — Cutting: Laser, plasma, waterjet, saw cutting.
Step 4 — Forming: Rolling, bending, shaping.
Step 5 — Welding: TIG / MIG / SAW depending on material.
Step 6 — Machining: Drilling, polishing, threading, finishing.
Step 7 — Inspection: Dimensional checks, NDT, hydro test if needed.
Step 8 — Packing & Delivery.

Materials Used for Fabrication

Stainless Steel (304/316/321/347) → For corrosive environments
Carbon Steel → Structural or general-purpose use
Alloy Steel → High-temperature applications
Duplex & Super Duplex → Chloride-rich, corrosive areas
Nickel Alloys (Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy) → Extreme corrosion resistance
Aluminium / Brass → Lightweight applications

Applications of Fabricated Components

✔ Oil & Gas: Pipe spools, skid assemblies, manifolds.
✔ Petrochemical: Custom tanks, pipelines, high-pressure parts.
✔ Chemical Processing: Corrosion-resistant fabricated components.
✔ Power Plants: Boiler parts, supports, structural frames.
✔ Construction: Custom beams, supports, architectural pieces.
✔ Food & Pharma: Stainless steel hygienic fabrication.

Benefits of Custom Fabrication

✔ Precision — fits perfectly into your system.
✔ Faster installation — less on-site welding.
✔ Better reliability — engineered for pressure & temperature.
✔ Lower maintenance — fewer failures.
✔ Cost-effective — reduces total project cost.
