As Albert Einstein once said,
“Anyone who
has never made a mistake has never tried
anything new.”
The expertise of inspection,
measuring, testing and marking ensures that the
production of tube and pipe can make room for
innovation and experimentation, while retaining
the standards expected of such products.
This freedom is allowed through the mastery
of methods such as ultrasonic, eddy current,
electromagnetic, hydrostatic, flux leakage, NDT,
and laser measurement.

Ukraine finally gained entry into the World
Trade Organization in 2008, confirmation of
the country’s strengthening position as an
industrial heavyweight and ambitious business
partner. Tube & Fittings Ukraine 2009 aims to
reflect this status with an increasingly popular

From issues of green technology to high
performance sports cars, specialized tubing
will always be the key to keeping things moving
in the automotive world. The methods and
machinery used to produce automotive parts
are invaluable to the designers and engineers
who invest themselves in their work. As this
feature reveals, automotive tubing relies on
advanced processes and machinery including
complex bending, high-performance sawing,
high frequency tube mills, and hydroforming.
