We make the parts that go inside the vessel.
Perforated risers, tubesheet assemblies, support plates, mesh pads, vane packs, cyclonics, strainers, cartridge carriers, davits and quick-open closures — engineered to order and fabricated in Mineral Wells, Texas.
Spec 01 · Perforation
Every riser is drilled to a number.
Open area is the number that decides whether a riser passes flow or chokes it. We drill 23% to 58% on 60° staggered pitch. Move the slider and watch the plate change.

Open area on triangular pitch = (π ⁄ 2√3)(d ⁄ p)². Shown at a fixed 0.500″ pitch; in production the pitch moves too. Tell us the flow and the pressure drop you have to hit and we will size it.

Product 01
Custom perforated tubes & risers
Welded and threaded risers in carbon and 300-grade stainless, drilled to your open area and cut to your length. We hold the tooling for the small diameters most shops turn down.

Product 03
Custom assemblies
Where the internals stop being parts and start being one weldment that has to drop into a vessel on a turnaround clock.
- Carbon bed piping
- Multicyclone bundles
- Tubesheet bundles
- Custom strainers
- Mesh / vane assemblies
- Inlet devices
- and much more
Product 04 · GD Bandlock 2
Quick-open closures, including the big ones
The original internal-door locking band — the 1985 patent — in horizontal and vertical orientation. We specialise in large diameter, and we do not stop at the purchase order: FNS services closures, trains your crew in the office and in the shop, and supports installation and hydrotest.

Product 05 · ASME code shop
Filter housings, 24″ and down
A code shop dedicated to small vessels — filtration & separation, instrumentation and heat exchange. Two families, and the honest difference between them.
| Attribute | 1S / 1U Clamp style |
1SY / 1UY ASME style |
|---|---|---|
| Code | Non-code | U-stamp or non-code |
| Pressure | Up to 2,000 PSI | Up to 3,000 PSI |
| Closure | Clamp | 4-bolt flange |
| Material | Carbon steel / 316 SS | Carbon steel / 316 SS |
| Diameter | 24″ and down | 24″ and down |
On-site coalescer testing kits ship with the housings — so the element gets proven in your service, not on a datasheet.
