The system provides the online measurement at a rate
adaptable to the SAW pipe mill output (pipes/hour).
The system gives high-accuracy measurements of the
pipe outer diameter and cross section shape (out-of-
roundness).
All the measurements are automatically compared to the
tolerances allowed by the specific standards.

The system has two main targets:
• Monitoring the active lifetime of expanding jaws, exposed
mainly to friction wear on the pipe inner surface.
• Registration of cycle numbers and their amplitude, applied
to the expander’s traction force chain, consisting of
coupling, drawbar and nut.

The thermographic supervision system for expansion tools is
designed for the non-contact monitoring of the expanding tools’
lubrication. By extension the system also gives information
about the expansion tools' wear and damage.
Finally, the company believes that the experience achieved
and the reliability in operation of its equipment and the
continuous support granted by its customers should constitute
a significant guarantee of the level of expertise it offers in the
field.
