selects
Thermatool
ATHERMATOOL three-stage (1,500kW)
seam annealing system has been
selected by a Russian producer of API
grade pipe.
The latest Thermatool seam
annealing technology will be delivered
by Inductotherm Heating & Welding Ltd,
with commissioning and service support
provided locally by Inductotherm Group
Russia engineers.
Hundreds of Thermatool seam
annealers are used to produce API line
pipe and casing products around the
world.
The Russian producer is assured of
no untempered martensite in the weld
HAZ and optimised weld section Charpy
impact results for demanding material
applications.
The precision automated carriage
positioning system allows all three
heat stations to be quickly adjusted to
position the inductors over the seam of
the pipe, both laterally and orbitally, to
ensure maximum yield and minimised
scrap created after a mill stop.
Power is provided by Thermatool’s
Variable Inductance Power (VIP) power
supply technology.
VIP induction power supplies provide
optimised matching to thin and heavy
wall API pipe, and each power supply
can be independently controlled from a
single central console.
