TMK-INOX, a subsidiary of Russia-based TMK which is one of the world's leading suppliers of steel pipes for the oil and gas industry, has commissioned a shop for the manufacture of stainless steel and alloy-based welded precision pipes.
Two welding lines produced by Italy's OLIMPIA 80 Srl, a leading manufacturer of pipe welding equipment, have been installed at TMK-INOX's new shop. In the next stage of development of TMK-INOX's welded stainless steel pipe production, a top-of-the-line high-performance large stainless steel coil slitter is to be commissioned.
The new welded stainless steel pipe shop produces high-quality pipes conforming to world-class samples and standards (DIN 17457-11850, ASTM A249, A269, A270, and NFA 49147-49249), which are in great demand with car manufacturers, food, energy, and construction companies.
After reaching their full production capacity, the new lines will annually produce 10,000 mt of high-tech welded stainless steel and alloy pipes.
