Sakshi Forge is a manufacturer and supplier of ASTM A270 & ASME BPE compliant electropolished stainless steel pipes for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, semiconductor, and high-purity chemical units in Oxford. We deliver 100% PMI-tested SS 304, 316L, and 904L EP tubing with internal surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.38 µm (SF4) dispatched from Mumbai.
Our electropolished sanitary pipes and fittings are specifically engineered for high-purity water (PW/WFI), clean steam, and sterile fluid transfers in key industrial zones across Oxford, including Oxford Science Park, Milton Park.
Oxford Science Park, Milton Park
Biotech, vaccines, life sciences
Oxford's industrial base is concentrated in Oxford Science Park, Milton Park, with Oxford Science Park the main cluster. The dominant industries are biotech, vaccines, life sciences. Biotech buyers in Oxford care most about surface finish, weld quality and the depth of documentation behind every spool.
Biologics and vaccine suites in Oxford use EP tubing on media and buffer transfer, WFI distribution and clean-in-place return lines. Surface finish matters more here than anywhere else in the plant because protein and microbial residues bind to rough steel. Specifications usually call for 316L, ASME BPE SF4 or tighter, documented internal Ra readings and borescope records for welded spools.
ASME BPE defines surface finish grades SF1-SF6; SF4 (electropolished, Ra <= 0.38 um / 15 uin) is the usual pharma and biotech requirement.
ASTM A270 is the sanitary tubing specification; its S2 supplement covers pharmaceutical-quality tube.
EN 10204 3.1 certificates are issued by the manufacturer's inspection function, independent of production; 3.2 adds a third-party or purchaser inspector.
EN 10217-7 covers welded stainless tubes for pressure purposes.
Pressure equipment placed on the EU market falls under PED 2014/68/EU (UK: PER 2016); material certification must support the equipment maker's conformity file.
UKCA marking applies to equipment placed on the Great Britain market.
We are an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer based in Mumbai: we manufacture, electropolish and test the tube and export it - there is no trading intermediary between the plant and your site in Oxford. Every length is checked by PMI before dispatch, lots are hydrostatically and eddy-current tested, and each shipment carries an EN 10204 3.1 certificate traced to heat number, with an internal Ra report on electropolished lots.
Oxford is supplied by sea from Nhava Sheva (JNPT) through Port of Southampton; delivery time depends on size, quantity, stock and sailing schedules, and is confirmed in writing with each quotation. Each length is end-capped and sleeved before dispatch so the bore arrives clean. Shipments travel with commercial invoice, packing list, 3.1 certificate and certificate of origin, plus the conformity documents UK requires.
Project and bulk prices for Oxford depend on grade and alloy surcharge, OD and wall, the Ra or ASME BPE finish, certification level and total quantity. Send the complete line list - grade, OD, wall, length, quantity, finish, standard and delivery address - and we quote the package as one order rather than item by item.
Grade chemistry, sizes and finish options are on our product pages: SS 316L electropolished pipes, SS 304L electropolished pipes, electropolished tubes and ASME BPE tubes.
