The November Issue
Welcome to the latest issue of Tube &
Pipe Technology magazine. This issue
we have a feature on cutting, sawing and
profiling technology and two extended
articles. The first is from Uzinexport,
Romania, which is celebrating its 50
th
anniversary. The second is from Advanced
Machine & Engineering/AMSAW and is the final instalment
in a series of three fascinating articles from saw blade
expert Willy Goellner.
A brand new website for TPT magazine will have been
launched as you read this (it launches on 1 November).
It has been completely redesigned to make it a far more
attractive and intuitive portal for all of our readers.
We decided to undertake this redesign bearing in mind
more and more of our readers are accessing the website
and online version of the magazine from various devices.
The new site is fully scalable so should be a pleasure to
read whatever the size of your screen. It will load quickly
and automatically adjust to be readable on smartphone,
tablet or desktop PC. Go to
www.read-tpt.comto see it
in action.
Next issue we have features on welding machines and
technology, coiling and uncoiling, and Tube Russia and
BORU 2017, where the January issue will be distributed.
Enjoy the magazine.
