IPSCO Adds Pipe Threading Line To Meet Growing Demand
TMK IPSCO’s premium pipe threading facility in Brookfield, OH recently began a two-week commissioning phase for its second thread line, which will allow the facility to thread pipes up to 13 5/8-inch diameter, up from the previous size range of 4-7 5/8-inch.
Each line is capable of threading more than 40,000 tons of pipe per year with an ULTRA-DQX™ Premium Connection, ULTRA-SF™ Premium Connection, or ULTRA-FJ™ Premium Connection.
“What this means for the industry is that we are now able to provide an even quicker response to the growing needs of the Marcellus region,” said Piotr Galitzine, chairman of TMK IPSCO.
