Induction Heating in Tube & Pipe Industry
UltraFlex has provided many manufacturers in the Tube and Pipe industry with induction heating solutions. Induction heating provides quick, concentrated heat on focused areas which increases productivity, repeatability, and saves on operation time and cost.
Induction heating is successfully applied for common processes such as brazing, annealing, pre/post-heating. Some processes require multizone heat treatment. Our patented SmartPower modular induction heating system allows customers to save on space, energy and helps optimize equipment costs by providing multiple, independently controlled induction coils connected to a single power supply.
How Induction Heating is used in Tube & Pipe Industry?
- Induction brazing and soldering of tube assemblies
- Preheating of pipes before welding and before bending
- Post heating and stress relieving of weldments
- Curing of coating and coating repair for the oil pipelines
- Induction bonding of plastic pipes with metal inserts
- Induction forming of steel tubes and pipes
- Hardening and tempering of tubes and pipe ends
- Tube annealing and bright annealing
