Latest tube and pipe mill projects

ABBEY Products Division has announced its most recent ERW tube and pipe mill projects. The first project is a heavy wall 1.5" mill for a large Southcentral USA plant. The second project is a 24" combination API and structural mill for the Chinese market. Both of these projects showcase the wide range of heavy duty ERW mills that Abbey Products can engineer and manufacture. The Abbey Products series 1KH-1.5" mill includes a squaring section to produce shapes and can achieve speeds of 600 fpm. The key feature of this mill is the patented CCT Quick Change System. The CCT System allows

for completely automated tube size changes in minutes without the use of an overhead crane. The series 24KH Mill produces line pipe for oil and gas as well as structural shapes. Utilising the Abbey Products patented TBS System allows this customer to run 8"–24" OD up to 0.750" wall thickness with minimal
