Russian API grade pipe producer selects Thermatool ATHERMATOOL three-stage (1,500kW) seam annealing system has been selected by a Russian producer of API grade pipe. The latest Thermatool seam annealing technology will be delivered by Inductotherm Heating & Welding Ltd, with commissioning and service support provided locally by Inductotherm Group Russia engineers. Hundreds of Thermatool seam annealers are used to produce API line pipe and casing products around the world. The Russian producer is assured of no untempered martensite in the weld HAZ and optimised weld section Charpy impact results for demanding material applications. The precision automated carriage positioning system allows all three heat stations to be quickly adjusted to position the inductors over the seam of the pipe, both laterally and orbitally, to ensure maximum yield and minimised scrap created after a mill stop. Power is provided by Thermatool’s Variable Inductance Power (VIP) power supply technology. VIP induction power supplies provide optimised matching to thin and heavy wall API pipe, and each power supply can be independently controlled from a single central console.
