This provides a maintenance-free pipe clamping system, while still remaining detachable at all times (eg for inspection, repair or exchange of the pipe, or the installation of additional components to the system), which ensures a high level of operational safety for the entire water system, in spite of the increasing demands.

STAROFIT traditionally moves a large selection of its products (more than 40 tons) to Düsseldorf in order to give visitors the opportunity to experience the products first-hand. Visitors will be able to see steel, alloy steel and stainless steel butt-welding fittings and elbows. The company has a permanent fittings stock of 6,500 tons, to provide prompt responses to customers’ requests and to process orders rapidly. The holdings range from a large stock of ASME and EN/DIN standardised products to highly specialised elbows and fittingswithextremewall thicknesses and exceptional dimensions made of carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel.

Walter Stauffenberg GmbH & Co KG operates under the trade name Stauff, developing, producing and marketing fluid technology components for use in plant construction and mechanical engineering. The rising demands on all components and systems used within industrial water cycles are the result of the trend towards increasingly high operating pressure levels of up to 500 bar, and reduced water quantities used during descaling processes of steel components, eg in continuous milling and casting procedures, oil removal from hot-rolled sheeting and removing pickling residue in the mill train. Stauff clamps from the Construction Series enable a secure and controlled fastening of pipes with outside diameters between 220 and 1,000mm. Depending on their size, either four or five plastic pipe saddles made of polyamide provide the required protection to the pipeline and effectively dampen vibrations and noises, such as those created by pressure fluctuations and peaks within the system. The assembly principle of clamps from the Construction Series is simple, and they can be installed on-site without special tools. The pipe rests on the lower clamp half, a primed or hot-dip galvanised one-piece steel construction that can be welded or bolted to the substructure, or embedded in cement, as required. The upper clamp part lies on top and is connected to the lower half by two M30 threaded rods.

Tracto-Technik GmbH & Co KG Germany 5E21

At Tube 2014, Tracto-Technik will present technology for bending and processing tubes, as well as high-precision measuring systems for quality control and reverse engineering, and software solutions for tube shop automation and workflow optimisation. In tube bending technology, the company will show the servo-electrically driven, multi-radius CNC tube bending machine Tubotron 25 MR for tubes from 4 to 25mm OD, without any hydraulics. The machine’s exposed and compact bending head enables the production of complex tube shapes at bending speeds up to 170°/sec. The main applications
