own R&D department and cooperation with suppliers and universities. Stalatube predicts increasing demand for special grades, and sees a huge potential especially for Lean Duplex grades. The greatest advantages are the higher yield strength combined with good corrosion resistance and higher price stability. As Lean Duplex grades contain less nickel, this grade is less dependent on the volatile nickel price. The special grades can be used for a wide range of applications. Stalatube’s customers mainly use them for projects in the oil and gas industry but also for construction, waste water treatment and desalination plants. Stalatube’s product diameters range from 20 x 20mm to 300 x 300mm, and 30 x 20mm to 400 x 200mm, and wall thickness varies from 1.2 to 12mm. The company has an international distribution network covering all continents and 45 countries. The head office is in Lahti, Finland, and sales offices are located in the United States, the Netherlands and India.

cut series flying shears can now be taken to the next level with new operator controls and new accelerators. A range of new cold saws and friction saws are also now available for the European market. A new design of Radyne clam shell induction coil will be on display, ideal for precision induction heating (prior to coating) of API grade pipe sections during offshore field-jointing operations. Onshore producers of API grade oil and gas pipe and water pipe will have an opportunity to discuss the very latest in Radyne induction pre-heating systems, prior to continuous pipe coating. The most exciting display on the stand features a Precision Quench Ring™ in continuous operation. Visitors will be able to see at close range Thermatool’s environmentally friendly, high velocity, impinging quench spray utilised in quench & temper systems for bar, pipe and

Thermatool (Inductotherm Group) 6C39 USA/UK & 6C40 VISITORS to the Inductotherm Group stand will have the chance to operate one of the very latest Thermatool HCT solid-state HF welders equipped with HAZControl Technology™. Designed to provide greater control of the welding process with selectable weld frequency in 1kHz increments, HAZ (heat affected zone) control ensures “superior cost-effective product” – run after run. The new Thermatool Smart Annealing control console will be on display for the first time in Europe. Smart Annealing systems provide producers of API grade pipe with greater, repeatable control over both the temperature and the positioning of multiple heat stations during the seam annealing process. Spiral seam annealing systems are also available for API grade SAW pipe. For visitors interested in precision, high- speed cutting of tube, Thermatool’s Alpha-
