German plantmaker SMS Meer has announced that it will supply a 12 ¾" high frequency (HF) tube welding line with an API finishing facility to Poland-based Huta Łabędy for its Gliwice works. The new line will be commissioned in the third quarter of 2015.
The new line with an annual capacity of 270,000 mt will enable Huta Łabędy to increase its productivity by 30 percent. The new tube welding line will be able to produce tubes with diameters from 4 ½" to 12 ¾", wall thicknesses from 3.0 mm to 12.7 mm, and lengths of up to 18 meters. The maximum production speed will be 60 meters per minute.
The tubes produced will meet demanding standards such as API 5L for line pipes and EN 10219 for round, square or rectangular sections.
