High-tech stainless steel valves and fittings

Centrifugally cast tubes and offsets Research and production corporation Trubostal, Ukraine, produces centri- fugally cast tubes and offsets. The company was established in 1989 and now has a plant for centrifugally cast tubes production, named Trubolit, and a plant for offsets and cold-deformed tubes production in its structure. The tubes are produced from 100 to 1,066mm diameter and wall thickness from 10 to 250mm, and lengths up to 6,250mm, in carbon, construction, high- alloyed, stainless, high-temperature steel grades and alloys as well as bimetal with different layers combination. Centrifugally cast tubes are used in different fields. The main applications include: casing and armour facing of grinders and crushing mills; rollers for roll breakers; high- and low-temperature rollers of screens at production lines; wear- resistant bimetal sludge lines for hydro- transportation of loose materials in the mining and metallurgical industry as well as in coal, gold and diamond mining; wear-resistant tubes for transportation of cement at cement plants; tubes for natural gas reforming and oil refining plants; driving drums and rollers of heavy conveyer systems; radiant tubes for furnaces with protective atmosphere; muffles, baskets and reactors in chemical heat-treatment furnaces.
