88 ADVANCES IN MEASURING & MARKING TECHNOLOGY

We also have two in-depth articles on ‘Improving the quality of tube formed products using spinforming’ by Jeff Mansveld of Fontijne Formitt and ‘Quality assurance and traceability in drip irrigation pipe extrusion technologies and production’ by Eberhard Kertscher from THE Machines Yvonand SA. I will be travelling to Dubai for Tube Arabia in January for the third time so I hope to see you there. You can find information about the show on page 76. It is such a great business destination and I look forward to seeing how the show has grown since I attended two years ago. Next year I will also be making my first visit to Bangkok in Thailand for Tube Southeast Asia. It has been a while since I visited Asia so it will be great to catch up with some of our many readers from Thailand, China and Malaysia. Next issue we have features on welding technology, equipment and consumables, automotive tube & pipe manufacturing and the production of heat transfer tubes (boiler, refrigerator & HVAC). Please submit your editorial by the deadline of 7 November to rory@intras.co.uk
