Packaging
NIMAX CT tubes can be supplied with two packaging options:
- In bundles (each bar is individually packaging in cardboard tubes with caracteristic red and white spiral stripes) for standard lengths.
- On wooden europalets from smallest cut lengths.
Marking
For each bar the cardboard tube will be marked with black colour: "NIMAX CT / ODxID Diameter / Tolerance / Steel grade / Heat no. / Date".
Where: OD = outside diameter and ID = inside diameter.
On each palet they will be applied minimum one label for identification.
