WITH six sets of Radyne precision induction
heating systems supplied, installed and
in regular operation since 2007, a leading
producer of API grade SAW pipe based
in the Ukraine has recently installed a
further two sets of Radyne induction power
supplies and associated heat coils.
This latest generation of Radyne
induction heating system makes use of
a new, modified design of heat coil box.
The result is that they weigh slightly less
than earlier units, a definite benefit when
heat coils need to be moved from one line
and installed onto another. The Radyne
systems on site are used to pre-heat SAW
pipe sections prior to the application of
multi-layered PE and FBE (fusion bonded
epoxy) protective coatings. Line speeds
ranging from 0.8m/min up to 3m/min have
been achieved, depending upon both the
diameter and thickness of the pipe being
induction heated. The system has been
designed for pre-heating both SAW and
conventional, longitudinal welded pipe
sections. The Radyne solution is efficient
and highly reliable. The process is easy to
Ukrainian API pipe producer selects Radyne
control and, unlike heating by natural gas,
heat is applied instantaneously on demand.
Most important of all is the net benefit
to the environment due to the fact that
induction pre-heating is environmentally
clean and avoids the need to burn costly
fossil fuels.
