By Robert A. Sladky, Vice President, Tube Mill Engineering, Roll-Kraft Nebraska U.S.A. ROLL-KRAFT makes and reworks its tooling to very close tolerances and high standards. This fact places a large responsibility on a mill since the tooling will only be as good as the mill on which it is installed.

Three roll forming processes typically used in tube and pipe production are single-radius forming (top), edge forming (middle), and partial-step forming (bottom). FEA shows the displacement of material in each forming pass. In tube manufacturing, product quality is a major concern, especially as it relates to the subsequent fabricating ...

Existence of tube mill operating procedures for all to follow. The mill and tooling are fixed items that, if maintained properly, will perform the same way each time they are used. The biggest variable is the human factor—how each worker maintains, sets up, and operates the mill.

In the classic sense, a tube mill is a kind of welded roll form system; however, not every welded roll form system is a tube mill. Tube mills are welded roll form systems that have been fine-tuned to run a specific diameter range, typically at fast speeds (see Figure 1 ). Diameter range is mentioned because a tube mill welds a round product.

The range of dimensions starts at 241 mm and ends at 711 mm outside diameter with wall thicknesses from 10 to 110 mm. The plug rolling mill covers the size range from 193.7 to 406.4 mm. Square hollow sections in the range 150 x 150 mm to 400 x 200 mm with wall thicknesses from 6.3 mm to 25 mm can also be produced. Please read our brochure!

There are three fundamental but critical processes that must be controlled in producing ERW pipe and tube over which a mill operator has a margin of control--skelp edge preparation, skelp forming, and ERW. This article looks at three aspects of skelp edge preparation: 1. The need for the cleanest, smoothest, most solid edges possible from the ...

Techniques. Tube mills and pipe mills employ two unique methods that form seamless and welded structures from an extensive selection of materials, both ferrous and nonferrous. Mills are classified according to the nature of the output, technique or materials. For instance, ERW (electric resistance welding) mills rely on the ERW welding, while ...

The tube mill then feeds from the accumulator by pulling the inner wrap of the outer coil around the takeout arbor and into the mill. When the end weld is complete, the operator signals the pinch rolls to start filling. The accumulator then fills at two to three times line speed until it is full.

The new tube mill will have the capacity to produce approximately 250,000 tons of hollow structural section (HSS) steel tubing, mechanical steel tubing and galvanized solar torque tube. The Kentucky location puts the new tube mill near expanding solar markets in the U.S. and the largest consuming regions for HSS steel tubing.

For example, if the tube mill runs at 100 feet per minute (FPM) (30 meters per minute [MPM]) and it requires four minutes to complete the end joining operation, 400 feet (122 meters) of strip will be used by the mill while end joining occurs. The accumulator must therefore have a capacity of at least 400 feet (122 meters). A tower can also be used.

The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. For two bodies having masses mm and MM with a distance rr between their centers of mass, the equation for Newton's universal law of gravitation is: (5.1.5) F = G m M r 2.

Fortunately the tube mill Fin forming passes can reshape the strip and reduce camber and edge wave to manageable levels. Center buckle is the hardest strip shape problem to overcome in the tube mill. Strip with obvious Center Buckle should be rejected, see the last illustration for details.

Make sure all stands are aligned with each other, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. Check to see if the driven shafts are parallel, base to bottom shaft, bottom shaft to top shaft, stand to stand. When the rolls are on the mill, make additional checks for alignment with a straight edge and bridge levels.

Check the lead screw adjustment. Ensure it is tight to prevent side-to-side end play and to allow the guide rolls to hold the strip steady on center. Check the blocks to which the shafts mount. Make sure they are tight within the assembly. Ensure the table is centered with the centerline of the mill.
