cold in-process gauges for rounds up to diameter 600mm (23.62") or profiles of up to 550mm (21.65") edge lengths. Profilemaster gauges are based on the principle of light-section technology and machine vision, and can handle any shape or profile. Relevant dimensions can be entered into the program and are then monitored during the production run at all times. Typical applications are hot seamless pipe and profiles of any kind, cold rolled/welded tubes and pipes (ERW)

Profilemaster systems are available in multiple designs, depending on the requirements of the customer and product. The systems are best suited to the continuous measurement and monitoring of dimensions and the complete cross-section of profiles made of steel, metal, plastics or rubber. The new series of Steelmaster hot and cold gauges, based on high-speed laser scanning, now offers up to 12,000 measurements per second, with new calibrated single scan (CSS) technology. This results in a highly accurate and fast non-contact measurement of diameter, ovality and width/height at production speeds of 100m/s (19,685 ft/min). Steelmaster gauges are available in static (SMS models), oscillating (SMO models) or rotating (SMR models) configurations, for diameters of up to 500mm (20") or beyond, upon request.

Hot finished structural steel Tata Steel is a steel producer with manufacturing plants across Europe. The company manufactures and supplies a comprehensive range of steel tube products for some of the most demanding markets, including construction, automotive, lifting and excavating, and energy. conveyance products provides uniform, stress-free tubes, with consistent mechanical properties and additional features and benefits for a range of building and industrial pressure pipe applications.

information throughout the life cycle of a project.

For global oil and gas customers who operate in challenging environments around the world, Tata Steel manufac- tures high frequency induction (HFI) and submerged arc welded (SAW) line pipe, where product reliability and integrity are integral to delivering project success. In the automotive sector the company’s advanced steels engineered in tubular form are supplied with specialist technical support to enable the creation of headrests, twist-beams, chassis structures, instrument panel beams and other essential automotive components.

Specifically developed to meet customer and market demands, the hot-finished tubes can be considered an alternative to comparable hot-finished seamless products. Building information modelling (BIM) is becoming increasingly important in the construction industry. As a result, Tata Steel has developed a BIM database for its tube products. The user-friendly database allows flexible access to all product data from Tata Steel, improving the flow of

The company’s Celsius ® 420 range rep- resents its advances in steel manu- facturing and is the next-generation in hot finished structural steel. Developed in conjunction with customers in the construction, off-highway and agricul- tural equipment sectors, Celsius 420 is suitable for use in applications where structural performance at minimum weight is required.
