include testing welded and stainless tube, automotive tube, OCTG (oil country tubular goods), heat exchanger and duplex tube, among others. MAC’s knowledgeable field staff will provide information in multiple languages on all of MAC’s products. Magnetic Analysis Corporation’s manufacturing facilities are located in Östersund, Sweden, and in Elmsford, New York, and Boardman, Ohio, USA. MAC’s engineers and knowledgeable representatives serve tube manufacturers worldwide. Turkey MEKOSAN designs and manufactures fully automatic packaging machines and automatic painting lines for tubes and profiles. With more than 50 installations in Turkey, the Middle East and Europe, Mekosan is becoming a significant player in this sector. With a strong technical background in automation and wire drawing, Mekosan has been able to integrate this knowledge and experience into its tube and pipe products since 2005. The company offers bundling machines for tube diameters between 13 and 168mm, as well as corresponding squares/ rectangles. The systems incorporate transfer and handling of the products from conveyor, through bundle forming, strapping, weighing and draining, to storage. Mekosan recently appointed a new sales agent, Superior Technologies Europe Ltd (STE), located in the UK. STE will cover selected countries in Northern Europe where it has strong strategic contacts. At the forthcoming Tube show Mekosan will be showing videos of its packaging and painting systems. Website: www.mac-ndt.com Mekosan 6H21

This allows testing of a large range of pipe sizes, including large diameters, with minimal transducer adjustments, if any, during size changeovers. Further, because the transducers are under the pipe, no tight fitting glands or shoes are needed, resulting in lower water circulation requirements, fewer wear components and virtually no changes required to the basic water tank on size changeover. This Spinning Tube transducer system can also be used for testing tube ends as well as for a retrofit or upgrade of existing installations. MAC will also be exhibiting the Xiris laser-based weld inspection system.

Nirmal Overseas Ltd

TBC

India NIRMAL was established in 1983 to manufacture a wide range of HF/RF vacuum tube welders with technical collaboration with M/s Alientech Ltd, UK. The company supplied around 750 HF/RF tube welders to the domestic tube industry, and also exported. In 2009 Nirmal started to make solid-state welders, and within two years supplied 15 units. Through continuous R&D, soon after manufacturing HF welders the company started to supply complete turnkey projects for the steel tube industry, taking technical designs and engineering from M/s Mannesman Demag, Germany. The company started to manufacture ERW and API tube mills up to 20" diameter, which are high speed, automatic, and continuous running, to produce a wide range of steel tubes and pipes. The company also started to manufacture HR/CR slitting lines, tube hydro-testers, hot dip pipe galvanising units, pipe finishing equipment and cut- to-length lines. Nirmal’s R&D team, consulting with German engineers, has developed a high-speed technology for cutting pipes without any burr, with 100 per cent length accuracy, and high-speed tube mills with cold saw units. It has developed a new process of designing, engineering, manufacturing and installing the equipment, which resulted in the company being awarded as a top exporter in this line by Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Nirmal has undertaken more than 35 tube mill projects on a turnkey basis, both in domestic and international markets in countries including Sudan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Uganda, Jordan and Oman.

Echomac Spinning Tube type ultrasonic inspection unit with automatic pitch control for testing tube and pipe Information will also be available on test systems using a combination of more than one type of test technology, a requirement to meet many of today’s stringent test standards such as API and ASTM. Echomac ® ultrasonic testers combined with either MultiMac ® eddy current or MAC’s Rotoflux ® flux leakage technology can meet these standards. At the same time both the ultrasonic and flux leakage systems are capable of testing to 5 per cent defect levels on the OD and ID of tubular products. Because MAC is one of the few companies that can offer all of these technologies, the systems can be fully integrated, providing operators with a consistent look and feel as well as enabling combined defect reporting. These testers can easily be combined into complete, automated test systems including triple pinch benches to maintain accurate positioning, standard and custom conveyors, markers, sorters, demagnetisers, water circulation systems for ultrasonic test applications, and sophisticated controls, all designed by MAC.
