New mill located in China FIVESBronx, with theAbbey International and the Bronx Taylor-Wilson line of products, has announced its most recent ERW tube and pipe mill project located in China. The Shashi Pipe Works in Hubei Provence has purchased a series 24KH mill, which is the largest ERW pipe mill project being produced today. uncoiler, coil stripper, pinch roll, flattener, crop shear, shear and end welder, horizontal accumulator, accumulator exit pinch roll, flying crop shear, edge milling equipment, forming section, edge forming pass, TBS system, fin section ID scarfing, milling cut-off, mill management system and all necessary electrical equipment. The series 24KH 630mm ERW pipe The equipment supplied by Abbey includes coil storage, coil car, dual

mill will produce line pipe for oil and gas API 5L grades A, B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X70 and X80, casing API 5CT grades H40, J55, K55, M65 and N80, structural round pipe and structural profile sections (square and rectangular). Specifications are as follows: OD 219.1 to 630mm, thickness 4 to 19.1mm, length 8 to 20m, yield strength of 758 MPa (110,000psi) max tensile strength of 827 MPa (120,000psi) max production speed of 30 MPM, and a production rate of 238 tons per hour. Other key design features include a flying crop shear that allows the outgoing strip to be processed in the mill while the strip coming from the accumulator is stopped – a feature that minimises scrap during strip width changes. The TBS forming system gives the customer the ability to make expanded diameters and wall thickness range with programmable setup software. It is adjustable in three independent axes and also includes convertible roll/beam section along with flip/flop top rolls. The TBS system has driven rolls at several locations to aid in making extreme sizes. The quick- change system will permit the customer to change over the mill to a new size with minimal downtime.
