Severstal Cherepovets, the main steel producing facility of Severstal Russian Steel, has announced that within the framework of its cooperation with the Russian state-run gas monopoly Gazprom, in July this year it developed the production of large diameter pipes with rough external surfaces.
Accordingly, Severstal Cherepovets has so far produced more than 1,000 mt of this type of pipe, which will be used by Gazprom for the construction of its Bovanenkovo-Ukhta gas trunkline system.
The new unit for the application of rough external surfaces at the plant's coating line was purchased last year and was installed at its pipe rolling production facility in February this year during overhaul work.
