Why REDOX?
Hydraulic systems play an increasingly critical role in modern manufacturing. Systems that
are engineered and fabricated correctly enable the manufacturing process to increase both
product quality and reliability. These increase productivity and make it profitable and efficient
to operate in a "Just In Time" (JIT) mode. 
JIT is only possible when every part of the entire system is working properly. To be assured
on this capability requires that your system be designed so that the damaging metallic debris
that destroyed systems in the past is not present in your new one.
Modern hydraulic systems operate at great pressure and have a precision and accuracy not available in systems even 10 years ago. To achieve this, today's valves and pumps are manufactured to closer tolerances, which makes the components more susceptible to damage from debris in the system. This has caused standards writing bodies such as A.S.T.M, S.A.E., and I.S.O. to specifically address the issue of component- and system cleanliness in order to stem the otherwise inevitable rise in catastrophic system failures.
The standards they have developed, when followed, produce a system that truly utilizes the
full potential of today's components. 
REDOX pipes and fittings are cleaned with strict adherence to these standards. Our quality
assures that you get the most from your hydraulic system without problems such as hydrogen
embrittlement, intergranular corrosion, and gross contamination. The results of what occur
on the I.D. of the pipe can best be seen when comparing Figure 1 vs Figure 2.
Many of the topics discussed in this brochure are supplemented by REDOX Tech Sheets which provide additional technical information. You will find that these tech sheets include useful engineering and fabrication information that will enable you to clearly specify your hydraulic system requirements on prints and specifications. Additionally, all updated standards referred to can be faxed for your review upon request. REDOX is committed to offering you the best hydraulic pipe and fittings as well as the technical information necessary to realize the full potential of your system.
CONCLUSION
Companies that master the ability to operate in a "Just In Time" mode will profit from the efficiency that only a properly engineered hydraulic system can offer. As such systems are integrated into the manufacturing process, they provide tremendous opportunities to improve quality, lower costs, and quicken turnaround time on orders. The success of this integration---and ultimately the company---depends on the engineering decisions and fabrication procedure that are specified for your system. Over 90% of the wetted surface of your system is composed of pipe and fittings. The decisions that are made today on the selection of the piping will have an impact on the profitability of your company for years to come. Make the right choice for your pipe and fittings - always use REDOX.
