Tungum is material of choice for Drass diving systems
Drass Galeazzi is the world leader in the design, manufacture and installation of Saturation Diving Systems. As such, the company requires high-quality, proven and reliable materials for use in demanding, safety critical environments which is why Tungum is its tube of choice. Dino Tempesti, Senior

and Marketing Director, says: “Tungum is now the material of choice for Drass. The benefits it brings are proving invaluable in piping high pressure gases, particularly oxygen. Tungum’s excellent thermal conductivity/ diffusivity virtually eliminates the danger of explosion which is absolutely critical in dive applications.”
