TPi January 2015

8 / 62

Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products
International magazine. First and foremost I
would like to wish all of our readers a very happy,
healthy and prosperous 2015. I have now been
editor of TPI magazine for five years and I’ve
travelled to every corner of the globe in that time
– Brazil (twice), China, India, Dubai (three times)
and I recently returned from my fourth trip to the
US as well as regular visits to Germany. In the
past 12 months of travelling I’ve really enjoyed
seeing a sense of optimism and confidence
return to the industry and my New Year wish
would be for that to continue well into 2016.
This month we have special features on small
diameter, high precision tubes and copper
tubes. We also take a look at Boru 2015. The
article is ‘The pathway to ASME PCC-1 2013
and why it’s of critical importance’, by Neil
Ferguson from Hydratight Ltd. It certainly
makes interesting reading and hopefully offers
some valuable insights for our readers.
Next issue we have features on coating and
corrosion prevention; fittings, valves, flanges
and connectors; profile materials for tube
making; and automotive tubes. We also have
articles on two important international trade
shows: Tube Russia 2015 in June, and Made
in Steel 2015, which is being staged in Milan,
Italy in May.
If you would like to submit a story for the March
issue then please send your press releases to
by the editorial deadline date
of 21 January. The advertising
deadline is 9 February.
I hope that you enjoy the
magazine.
