accuracy to the hot tube and pipe manu- facturing process. By surpassing previous standards, laser ultrasonics is becoming the technology of choice for monitoring critical pipe characteristics, such as true wall thick- ness, length, temperature, and eccentricity. This industry milestone reinforces Tecnar’s commitment to innovation and excellence.
See the Lut 2.0’s dynamic evolution for yourself at the Tecnar booth, Hall 7A at D17, at Tube Düsseldorf in April 2024. It’s the ideal venue to get the most up-to-date information on the leading online wall thickness gauge.

Tecnar, a leading innovator of industrial solutions, is pleased to announce that Borusan Pipe has chosen the Lut 2.0 SPS (Single Probe Scanning System) for its online wall thickness gauge. This state- of-the-art technology will measure hot welded pipe eccentricity online at Borusan Pipe’s Gemlik plant in Turkey. This industry milestone introduces the Lut technology to welded pipe production.
Scheduled for start-up in late 2024, the Lut 2.0 SPS will be strategically placed at the

outlet of the stretch-reducing mill (SRM), after the cutting saw. Traditionally, the Lut has been pivotal to monitoring and cor- recting eccentricity in seamless steel pipe production, but now it will tackle the chal- lenges of continuous longitudinal welded pipe production (ERW). The Lut 2.0’s radial profile of hot pipes will detail key insights for enhanced process control.
The Borusan Pipe Gemlik plant is com- mitted to process optimization and pipe quality improvement. It joined forces with
