Manufacturing Capabilites


RATNAFLEX Engineering Private Limited occupies a large manufacturing facility of 14,000 m² total area and 10,000 m² built-up area located in Indrad – Chhatral in the state of Gujarat–INDIA.

Our facility is divided in two large production bays each equipped with two numbers of E.O.T cranes. The production bays are segregated for Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel fabrication.

The Bellows forming plant equipped with Hydroforming, Punch forming, C frame press, Rolling machine, own machine shop and a state of art Longitudinal Seam Welder.

The ability of manufacturing majority of components in-house provides maximum quality control and minimum production time.

Engnineering Capabilities


REPL engineers uses the latest design software to provide the quickest proposal turnaround and the most efficient use of space and materials. The Expansion Joint design is achieved by a combination of practical experience and technical knowledge backed up severval software programs (ETMA & ASME).

Finite Element Analysis and Pipe Stress Analysis software are used to simulate the load and resulting stresses that may occur in a design system.

These computer programs help pre-determine engineering design specifications to meet load/stress requirements.

REPL can provide units, design, fabricated and tested in accordance to standard codes.
