Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products
International. This issue we have features on
valves, fittings, flanges and connectors and also
take a look at Tube Russia and Valveworld as
well as all of the very latest news from every
area of the tube products industry. We also have
two interesting and related articles taking an in-
depth look at hot forming tubing and the use of
aluminium in tubes so I hope you enjoy the issue.
The Tube Products International team will be out
in force at both this issue’s featured shows so
please feel free to visit our stands and pick up
your free copy of the magazine and say hello. I
will be attending TuboTech in Brazil and Fabtech
in Chicago in the Autumn so if any of you are
planning on visiting these great shows I will see
you there.
This month we are excited to announce that we
are making the magazine available to a whole
host of new readers as well as making it easier
to read while ‘on the go’. We have been working
to invest in a specially optimised version of Tube
Products International for mobile platforms, so
if you have an iPad or iPhone or other mobile
device you can now read the magazine far
more easily and it should be a lot more pleasant
experience. Let us know what you think – we are
really pleased with the results as the way people
are reading magazines is evolving day by day.
Next issue will have features on OCTG and
pipelines, replacing or repairing corroded
pipes, handling and packaging
equipment and extruded tubes
so please submit any stories
or features to me at rory@
