Stainless products

KALLAS Edelstahl GmbH is a stockist for stainless semi-finished products, in particular welded stainless steel tubes and pipes, round and flat bars, and angles. The company was founded in the summer of 2001 and, with the support of Italian tube mills Satinox Tubi Inox SpA and Tubinox srl, was able to establish itself in Germany and the neighbouring countries. Two saws are able to cut fixed lengths from 100 to 3,000mm, in outside diameters from 8 to 80mm. The company specialises in cutting polished and mirror polished tubes without damaging the surface, and is able to polish small diameters and non-standard dimensions. The company’s delivery programme includes welded process tubes and pipes, annealed and not annealed, welded dairy tubes and welded tubes for construction.

CRC-EVANS Automatic Welding has launched a new dual-torch external automatic welding machine for small- diameter offshore and spoolbase applications. The P625 offers leading-edge technology and outstanding weld quality in a compact machine that brings high productivity to offshore jobs. The P625 is fully digital, with through- the-arc tracking and pulse MIG to maximise speed and produce high quality welds. Computerisedmonitoringandcontrol keep the torch and bead in perfect position, removing the chance of human error in the welding process. From pre-weld programming to real- time operation and post-project assessment, digital technology takes care of accuracy and repeatable performance. The P625 allows software to be upgraded in the field, so that changes inweldparameters can be made on the fly, getting the machine back to work quickly. In the office, a PDA user can program parameters and then download them wirelessly to the P625, or data can be

uploaded to a PDA in the field and taken back to the office for analysis and reporting. The P625 is also designed with scalable architecture that will accommodate future innovations, so it can be updated with the latest technology. CRC-Evans Automatic Welding designs and builds the automatic welding systems for land and offshore pipeline construction. In addition to renting and selling these systems on a project basis, the division provides other services such as engineering, on-site technicians and training. The company is a subsidiary of CRC-Evans Pipeline International, a provider of equipment and servicesfortheconstructionofpipelines.CRC- Evans manufactures pipeline construction equipment and automatic welding systems, and provides managed subsea services and inspection services.
