weisenden Produktionstechniken. Von Anfang an hohe Produktivität und eine exzellente Rohrqualität sind die Ergebnisse der individuell konzipierten Rohranlagen von SMS Meer.
VALLOUREC & SUMITOMO TUBOS DO BRASIL
SMS Meer erected a PQF® mill for the production of seamless tubes in
Jeceaba, in Brazil´s south-eastern state of Minas Gerais. VSB attached
great importance to an environmentally sound process chain. The PQF®
plant makes a valuable contribution to achieving this goal: The tool
consumption is comparatively low, and reduced reheating saves energy.
CORINTH PIPEWORKS
With the investment in a new large-diameter pipe production line, Corinth Pipeworks is expanding its product range in order to meet the growing global demand for tubes and pipes for oil and gas explo-ration. With the JCOE® technology from SMS Meer, Corinth Pipe-works can satisfy the high quality demands on high-strength pipes and is becoming one of the most advanced full-liners for extremely challenging applications.
ARVEDI TUBI ACCIAIO
Outstanding product quality, broad product range, high producti-
vity and plant reliability – those were the challenges thrown down
by the Italian pipe producer, Arvedi Tubi Acciaio. SMS Meer satis-
fied all these high demands and supplied a multifunctional tube
welding line for a broad range of quality tubes with widely varying
dimensions, steel grades and wall thicknesses.
TENARIS TAMSA
Tenaris is the world‘s largest seamless tube producer and
already operates eight seamless tube plants from SMS Meer
and SMS INNSE. With the new 7" PQF® mill, Tenaris is not only
increasing its production capacity, but also expanding the pro-
duct portfolio and boosting the tube quality.

LARGE-DIAMETER PIPE
PLANTS 16" – 64"
There are three production methods for the manu-facture of high-quality longitudinally welded large-diameter pipes such as those used for pipelines; these methods take their names from the pipe form-ing process employed: 3-roll bending machines, U-ing and O-ing presses and JCO® pipe forming presses. SMS Meer offers all three types of machine. The Shape technology system permits efficient and auto-mated forming on the JCO® pipe forming press.
SPIRAL TUBE PLANTS
PWS GmbH, a part of SMS Meer, is the world‘s lead-ing plant and machine engineering company for spiral tube production. PWS manufactures every spiral tube plant to meet the customer‘s specifications in order to meet the individual needs of each customer. This covers tube specifications i.a. to API, AWWA, BS, JIS, SIS, ASTM and DIN. The spiral tube production of pil-ings, water pipes (AWWA), oil and gas pipes (API), for tube diameters from 400 to 2540 mm and wall thick-nesses from around 5 mm to over 25 mm allows a broad segment of the market to be covered. With its digital welding source, PERFECT arc, PWS supplies not only the machines but also an intelligent welding technology.
FINISHING PLANTS AND MACHINES
As world market leader, SMS Meer also offers com-plete lines and individual machines for the finishing of seamless and welded tubes and pipes. The spectrum of finishing lines ranges from hydrostatic pipe testers that satisfy all the common certification methods, through pipe end finishing machines for facing, cham-fering, upsetting or thread cutting right up to high-performance milling and cut-off units. Roll and die dressing machines complete the product range.

SEAMLESS TUBE PLANTS
The seamless tube plants from SMS Meer have a future-oriented design and enable tubes to be pro-duced from high-strength and high-alloy steel grades. With its technologies, SMS Meer covers all the known production methods and always offers a plant tailored optimally to meet the demands of the appli-cation. Thanks to innovative production methods such as the PQF® technology (Premium Quality Finishing) and high-tech systems like CARTA®, wall thicknesses can be set with the very closest tolerances. The plants impress furthermore with minimised tool costs and great flexibility for the materials and tube dimen-sions.
Plant owners gain a significant competitive lead with the seamless tube plants from SMS Meer. They can manufacture, for example, high-strength OCTG tubes for the growing demands of natural gas/crude oil exploration or high-quality structurals. Through selec-tive and cost-effective modernisation measures, SMS Meer also brings existing plants to a high techni-cal level that ensures continued market success in the future.
WELDED TUBE PLANTS
FOR TUBES UP TO 26"
Whether welded tubes for the automotive sector, for the oil and gas industry or for the building sector – HF welded tube plants from SMS Meer are designed exactly to meet the individual demands of the respec-tive finished products. In a continuous process, tubes are produced from coiled steel strip. The coils are unwound and welded together to form a continuous strip. In the subsequent processes and at a constant process speed, the strip is formed into tubes, welded longitudinally using the inductive HF welding process, sized and cut into finished tube lengths.
Reconciling sustainability with economic growth is a challenge facing practically all markets worldwide. Particularly in the metal industry with its comparatively high energy savings potential, this topic is playing an ever more important role. SMS Meer has recognised this and offers machines and plants which give equal consideration to both aspects. Ecoplants is the new hallmark from SMS Meer for sustainable solutions.
ECOPLANTS Act economically – grow sustainably
ecoplants
ECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL
ADVANTAGES RECONCILED
Ecoplants reduce raw material input, emissions and energy consumption and improve the recycling quota. These factors are examined and measured on every reference plant. If these are satisfi ed, SMS Meer rates the corresponding product and the respective reference plant as an ecoplants solution – provided a further crucial condition is also met: Every ecoplants solution has to offer the plant owner real tangible economic advantages.
VERIFIABLE SUSTAINABLE
SOLUTIONS
The economic and ecological advantages of the ecoplants solutions can be clearly proven – through the direct comparison with the previous technology. The CO2 savings per year are thereby just as important today for many companies as the cost reduction per tonne.
