Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products
International. This month we have an extended
feature on materials handling and logistics, and
take a look at the Tube Southeast Asia show
in Bangkok, Thailand, which is taking place in
September.
We also have an extended article on optical strain
measurement and the future for subsea pipeline
testing by Ed Fowkes, technical production
manager at Exova, UK.
I will be attending Tube Southeast Asia for the first
time this year so I hope to see you there. I am
looking forward to returning to Asia to meet our
readers there as my last trip (to Shanghai) was a
few years ago. Thailand’s economy has not been
helped by the recent slowdown in growth in China
but it is still predicted to see a healthy growth in
GDP this year, which is encouraging to hear.
Bangkok is a major centre for business, finance
and tourism in the heart of Asia so it should be
an excellent environment for a trade show to take
place and a fun destination for eating the incredible
local food and enjoying the vibrant street life.
Next issue we have features on oil & gas,
renewable energy tubes, and alloy steels &
materials. The issue will be distributed at
FABTECH 2015 in Chicago, USA, and Tubotech
in São Paulo, Brazil.
The editorial deadline is 8 July and the deadline
for advertising is 14 July. You can contact me
at and I will
be happy to help with any
enquiries about features,
stories and technical articles.
Enjoy the magazine.
