The main capacity of the installed machine is from 20x20 (30x10) mm to 70x70 (100x40) mm, in a thickness range from 0.8 to 4mm. The complete tube mill can produce tubes with special steel quality, up to TS 1,400 MPa. With this system the tube mill will produce the full tube range (square and rectangular shapes) without changing a single roll in the sizing turk’s head stands.
