TECNAR’s LUT 2.0 SETS A NEW RE-
CORD in the seamless tube indus-
try: 95-mm wall thickness meas-
ured without contact on hot pipe
Last fall, Tecnar’s Lut 2.0 DPS Dual Probe Scanner set a new industry record by accu- rately measuring the true wall thickness of 95 mm on hot seamless steel tubes online and without direct contact.
Tecnar confidently anticipated that the Lut 2.0 could outperform other technologies, such as gamma-ray-based gauges, limited to an average wall thickness of approxi- mately 50 mm. This confidence was vali- dated by data from the Lut 2.0’s successful installation at Daye Special Steel’s produc- tion facility in Huangshi City, China
Operating downstream of Daye’s Assel mill, the Lut 2.0 consistently demonstrated its prowess by routinely measuring tubes’ wall thickness ranging from 30 to 90 mm and achieving a record-breaking thickness of 95 mm during a single run. This remarkable accomplishment, the result of a collabora- tion between the Tecnar and Daye teams, is a significant industry breakthrough.
