To Improve API Pipe yields… JSC Novomoskovsk chose Thermatool

JSC Novomoskovsk in the Ukraine has recently completed a major capital investment plan to retrofit their existing 530 mm (20 inch) diameter API mill. The company increased the yield on the API pipe mill with an upgrade to a new Thermatool CFI 1200 kW HF Induction Welder and VIP 1200 kW Seam Annealing system.

Key features which make Thermatool the best choice for API pipe producers:
