Sandvik to offer tubing in very long lengths

In order to meet the increasing demand for coiled tubing in very long lengths, Sandvik’s high-precision tubing unit in Werther, Germany has recently developed a breakthrough method enabling the production of stainless tubing in lengths exceeding 1,000 meters from a single 125 kg hollow with zero welds.

Buhrt provides services throughout Midwest

Buhrt Engineering of Warsaw, Indiana, a custom and specialty fabrication shop offering stainless steel and carbon fabrication, has recently declared that it provides custom welding services in Fort Wayne, Pittsburgh, and Chicago and across the Midwest.

HFT wins award

National Cart invests in tube laser

National Cart, a manufacturer of carts for retail, commercial and material handling applications, has recently made two major equipment acquisitions.

Nylon Weld Purge Plugs from HFT

Ensuring that the stainless steel tubes and pipes are welded without oxidation, which leads to loss of corrosion resistance, it is vital in industries such as oil and gas, nuclear, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and dairy that in order to achieve a perfect zero color weld, the oxygen level must be purged down to lower than 100 ppm before and during welding.

HANTEMP extends stainless steel flange line

HANTEMP Controls, a manufacturer of stainless steel controls for industrial refrigeration and other low-temperature applications, has recently extended its line of stainless steel flanges designed to simplify installation and maintenance processes.

Tiaano designs titanium Thermowells

Tiaano has recently designed the Thermowells and Sensor safety pockets which meets the standards established by BSI, DIN, ASME, ISO 9001 and other authorities.

Stainless steel TCM produces coil at Beihai

A stainless steel continuous tandem cold mill (TCM) supplied by Primetals Technologies to Beihai Chengde Stainless Steel Co.

ITER chooses narrow gap assemblies

The ITER project represents a unique challenge for the assembly of workpieces, particularly on site, due to required precision after assembly and the quality (zero defects). Narrow Gap TIG Hot Wire welding appears as one of the essential techniques for joining these kinds of parts with such large wall thicknesses, as far as on-site assembly is concerned.

Argon gas feed hose for weld purging system

When welding metals such as stainless steel, titanium and zirconium, it is important to make sure that the welding zone is purged of oxygen even as low as 10 parts per million (ppm) before, during and immediately after welding, in order to achieve a clean, oxide free, zero colour weld. Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® has recently manufactured tailor made Argon Gas Feed Hose assemblies with leak tight fittings to attach immediately to their Argweld® range of Inflatable Tube and Pipe Weld Purging Systems at one end and to the gas source at the other.
