roll versions, plus hydrostatic pipe testing
machines, rotary pipe cut-off and end
facing equipment material handling and
other ancillary finishing equipment.
With more than 3,500 global installations
since 1911, Bronx/Taylor-Wilson has a
worldwide team of design engineers, sales
executives and support staff with offices
in Asia, Europe and the US. From new or
retrofit milling to finishing and complete
line-integrated solutions, the company
is committed to continuously improving
efficiency, productivity and quality.
The company created the first fully
automatic, in-line pipe tester and the first
straightener integrated inline with a cooling
bed. Innovations include software that
improves equipment performance and its
patented Compass automation system
(computer-aided setting system). Compass
provides precise and simple machine control
via a menu-driven software interface.
This range includes speciality machinery
designed for the finishing of long products,
including heavy beams, channels, rails
and angles plus equipment designed in
particular for the OCTG finishing industry.
Heavy duty straightening machines are
available that can automatically process hot
pipes and pipes with upset ends.
A highly advanced partner to Bronx, Abbey
International is a manufacturer of a wide
range of tube mills. The mill sizes range
by spectrometer, surface roughness test,
hardness test, tensile test, shear strength
test, flattening test, flaring test, reverse
bending test and hydrostatic test.
Stainless steel tubes produced by Borsen
have a producer test and analysis report
according to EN 10204/3.1. Steel grades
used include 304, 304L, 316L and SAF2205
(1.4462). The outside diameter range for
pipes is 19-76.1mm, with wall thickness
from 0.5-4mm, tolerance of D4/T4, and
length tolerance of 3-12m.

Borsen Boru, Turkey, is a distributor of
stainless steel pipes, valves and fittings,
and a manufacturer of TIG welded stainless
steel pipes. The company is the Turkish
representative and single distributor of
Ham-Let for valves and fittings, as well as
Alfa-Laval for sanitary flow equipment.
Since January 2006, the company has
manufactured TIG welded stainless
steel pipes in its own facilities, and
uses manufacturing processes such as
tricathode TIG welding, outside and inside
bead removal, in-line bright annealing,
straightening, surface finishing and tube-
end deburring.
Borsen Boru’s test laboratory is an
important part of its quality assurance
process. The company’s production line
uses two eddy current systems. The first
test system is used to detect defects of
incomplete welding; the second is used to
test whole pipe sections after the annealing
process.
The company is focused on continuous
quality control and improvement. Some
of the standard tests in its new non-
destructive and destructive quality control
test laboratory include chemical analysis
