2015

Welcome to the latest issue of Tube Products International magazine. First and foremost I would like to wish all of our readers a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2015. I have now been editor of TPI magazine for five years and I’ve travelled to every corner of the globe in that time – Brazil (twice), China, India, Dubai (three times) and I recently returned from my fourth trip to the US as well as regular visits to Germany. In the past 12 months of travelling I’ve really enjoyed seeing a sense of optimism and confidence return to the industry and my New Year wish would be for that to continue well into 2016. This month we have special features on small diameter, high precision tubes and copper tubes. We also take a look at Boru 2015. The article is ‘The pathway to ASME PCC-1 2013 and why it’s of critical importance’, by Neil Ferguson from Hydratight Ltd. It certainly makes interesting reading and hopefully offers some valuable insights for our readers. Next issue we have features on coating and corrosion prevention; fittings, valves, flanges and connectors; profile materials for tube making; and automotive tubes. We also have articles on two important international trade shows: Tube Russia 2015 in June, and Made in Steel 2015, which is being staged in Milan, Italy in May. If you would like to submit a story for the March issue then please send your press releases to rory@intras.co.uk by the editorial deadline date of 21 January. The advertising deadline is 9 February.
