Hot testing of primary mill completed at Sinarsky Pipe Plant

Hot test run of the primary mill has been succesfully completed in Tube mill workshop No.3 of the Sinarsky Pipe Plant (SinTZ), an affiliate of the OAO «TMK». The new plant will allow the enterprise to use in its tube production uninterruptedly cast billets made at the Seversky Tube Works, the Volzhsky Pipe Plant, and the Taganrog Metallurgical Works which also belong to TMK.

The primary mill, the capacity of which completely covers the Tube mill workshop No.3 demand for strained billets, was manufactured at the “Electrostal’mash” factory to SinTZ’s special order.

Installation of the primary mill at the Sinarsky Pipe Plant was carried within the framework of TMK’s Strategic investment program. The new equipment will allow SinTZ to increase production of uninterruptedly cast tube billets up to 70% as early as 2007.
