The trademagazine for tube and pipe products

The May issue

2016

Welcome to the latest Tube Products INTERNATIONAL. This issue we have features on Tube Russia 2016; valves, fittings and flanges; and water, drainage and underground tubes. We also have a technical article from Alexander Comley that looks at flanges for heat exchangers. The entire team is about to depart for Tube Düsseldorf as I write, but the event will be just a distant memory by the time you read this, so I hope that the show was a success for you and that all of our readers are safely back in your office after making some useful new connections in the industry. My next trip follows hot on its heels so I will see you at Lamiera in Bologna from 11 to 14 May if you are also attending. I am very much looking forward to returning to Italy and to visiting this show for the first time. While it is currently a tough time in the UK for the steel and oil and gas industries, other areas such as construction seem to be bouncing back at last, which is good news for some tube producers at least. Recent tax breaks in oil and gas have also been warmly welcomed so let’s hope for even more positive news as 2016 progresses. The editorial deadline for the July issue of the magazine is 25 April and we have features on Tube China 2016, aerospace tubes, pipe welding, pipe stands and clamps, and tube polishing and cleaning. If you would like to advertise in the issue the deadline is 6 May. You can find the contact details of our marketing team on page 2.
