STOPFLEX®
RETENTION SYSTEM
FOR PRESSURE HOSEs
Stopflex Retention System was designed
to arrest the trajectory of flexible hose,
thus avoiding that the energy contained
inside may trigger a frightening “whip
effect”.
As matter of fact, thanks to the Stopflex
System, the hose is secured to the plant
by means of a cable protecting both the
operators and components.
T&H LEMONT has recently shipped a
Model WU45-12 high frequency welded
coiled tubing mill for a customer in the
USA. Its customer is a leading producer
of coiled tubing for shipment worldwide.
The end product is used for increasing
productivity in existing oil and natural
gas mills.
The tube size range of the WU45
mill is from 1.75" to 4.5" OD round
tubing. The customer had selected a
4.5" maximum OD to be prepared for
any future expansion of coiled tubing
specifications. With five breakdown
stands the mill is designed for high
strength materials with maximum yields
of 120,000ksi. While the mill is designed
to produce tubing at speeds of up to
200ft per minute, actual production rates
are limited by the auxiliary equipment.
This is the second mill of this type
purchased by T&H Lemont by this
customer. Its purchasing decision was
based on the success and efficiency of
the original mill.
In addition to complete production
systems, T&H Lemont provides a
variety of components and services to
the tube and pipe industries. Services
include tube and pipe roll design, mill
alignment and operational consulting.
Components offered by T&H Lemont
include, but are not limited to, welders,
cut-offs, entry equipment, accumulators,
seam orientation stands, weld boxes,
edge conditioner, bead scarfing systems,
straightening systems, single point
adjustment systems, dedimplers, rolls,
blades, jaws and shafts.
