Medical Gas & Refrigeration Cleanliness

Lawton Tubes takes the cleanliness of its medical gas and refrigeration grade copper tube very seriously. We achieved the EN 13348 (medical gas) standard over 10 years ago and were the first British company to be awarded the kitemark licence to supply to this standard.

In 2006 Lawton Tubes invested heavily (in excess of £500,000) on a new degreaser primarily for it's medical gas market. This machinery can also be used for the refrigeration and air conditioning market.

LTC spent £500,000 on new degreasing machinery in 2006
