Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products International. In this month’s magazine we have features on stainless steel tubes, OCTG & pipe- line products, and we take a look at Valve World Americas, which is taking place in Houston, USA. We also have an extended article on dismantling joints by Engineering Piping Products. It has been a tough year for the UK oil and gas industry with the steady reduction in the price of oil, which has led to a reduction in investment and sadly a loss of jobs. So it was good to finally see some significant tax breaks for the industry in the recent government budget, which will hopefully offer companies and workers the boost they need at a difficult time. On a more positive note, millions of barrels of oil have been unearthed close to Gatwick airport in the south of England, which should result in further investment and a strong long-term future for the UK oil and gas industry. Next issue will have features on materials handling & logistics, extruded tube, GRP & fibre glass pipes, plumbing and heating and we take a look at the Tube Southeast Asia trade show. I will be attending it for the first time this year so I am looking forward to meeting some of our readers from Asia and visiting one of the most vibrant cities in Southeast Asia. The deadline for editorial for the July issue is 14 May so please send any stories, features or case studies you would like to be considered for publication to: rory@intras.co.uk. The advertising deadline is 29 May.
