WITH six sets of Radyne precision induction heating systems supplied, installed and in regular operation since 2007, a leading producer of API grade SAW pipe based in the Ukraine has recently installed a further two sets of Radyne induction power supplies and associated heat coils. This latest generation of Radyne induction heating system makes use of a new, modified design of heat coil box. The result is that they weigh slightly less than earlier units, a definite benefit when heat coils need to be moved from one line and installed onto another. The Radyne systems on site are used to pre-heat SAW pipe sections prior to the application of multi-layered PE and FBE (fusion bonded epoxy) protective coatings. Line speeds ranging from 0.8m/min up to 3m/min have been achieved, depending upon both the diameter and thickness of the pipe being induction heated. The system has been designed for pre-heating both SAW and conventional, longitudinal welded pipe sections. The Radyne solution is efficient and highly reliable. The process is easy to Ukrainian API pipe producer selects Radyne control and, unlike heating by natural gas, heat is applied instantaneously on demand. Most important of all is the net benefit to the environment due to the fact that induction pre-heating is environmentally clean and avoids the need to burn costly fossil fuels.
