Schuler completes preassembly of spiral pipe mills for customers in Saudi Arabia, Mexico

Schuler has announced it has completed preassembly of two spiral pipe mills: one for Tuberías Procarsa, a manufacturer of steel pipes based in Mexico, and the other for Group Five Pipe Saudi Ltd.

Tuberías Procarsa will use the offline spiral pipe line to produce large pipes with diameters of 20 to 88 in. and lengths from 39 to 80 ft. When assembled, they will serve as pipelines for oil and gas. The pipes are made from high-grade steel (up to X100) with thicknesses of up to 1 in., wound onto coils. This is formed into a spiral tube and submerged arc welded to a spiral welded pipe.

The line for Group Five Pipe Saudi Ltd. is largely identical. With a total length of 1,476 ft., the two pipe plants also comprise various devices to test the large pipes in accordance with the API standard. This entails the use of ultrasonic, X-ray, and hydrotester stands.
