April 6, 2015. A meeting of TMK Scientific & Technological Council dedicated to technical strategy and technical rationale for investment was held at Sinara Pipe Plant/SinTZ (a member enterprise of Pipe Metallurgical Company/TMK). Production of threaded pipes with premium threaded joints at SinTZ was the main point on the agenda, the company’s press service reports.

‘The council member went on a tour of Pipe Rolling Department 2 and OCTG Department 4, where pipes with TMK UP premium threaded joints are manufactured. Experts spoke about the plant’s short- and long-term investment development and discussed plans to set up new equipment that will help raise the premium pipe produce output; the demand for these goods keeps rising as oil and natural gas production grow increasingly more complex,’ the press service says.

‘The company intends to install additional equipment in order to raise its hi tech threaded pipes output,’ says SinTZ Managing Director Vyacheslav Popkov.
‘A pipe phosphate treatment unit, some finishing equipment, a new heading press, and a special coupling sleeve machine will appear within the next few years.’
