The trademagazine for tube and pipe products

The November issue

2014

Welcome to the latest Tube Products International magazine. This issue we have an in-depth feature on the latest developments in valves, fittings and flanges as well as a look at the Valve World show in Germany – see page 42 for more information on that fantastic event. We also have a fascinating article on pipeline welds from OMS that you can find on page 56. Finally, we have all the information you will need for your trip to the Stainless Steel World Expo in the US on page 44. Members of the Tube Products International team will be at all the upcoming tube shows giving out the magazine and spreading the news about the great products within its pages. I will have travelled to and returned from Atlanta, USA, for FABTECH by the time our next magazine reaches you. I was interested to read (see page 14) that there is expected to be a demand for an additional $63bn of tubes in the US by 2018 on the back of shale gas and oil, so things are looking positive again, which is great to see. Next year I am heading back to the perfect business destination of Dubai for Tube Arabia and then on to Bangkok in Thailand for Tube Southeast Asia. Next issue we have features on small diameter high precision tubes, water, drainage and underground tubes, copper tubes, civil engineering products and a look at BORU 2015
