Technical Committee Report and ITA Technical Paper Award
One of ITA’s main objective is the support of innovation and growth within the tube industries.
Our tools for this are the ITA Tube Journal, own and co-organised conferences and seminars,our website and ativities in social media. Beside member news the technical papers are a substantial part in our media as well as the presentations at our conderences.
In the period 2016 / 2017 the Technical Committee was active in searching, selecting and clustering interesting papers for the ITA Tube Journal , the seminars in connec- tion with Tube Shanghai Fair 2016 and Tube Russia 2017 further for our ITA Intl conference in Nov 2017 in Düsseldorf.
We thank all companies and indi- viduals who submitted papers in 2016 / 2016 enabling us to make ITA Media continously attractve and lled our conferences with interesting presentations for the bene t of the readers and confer- ence participants.
The Technical Committee chooses from all papers submitted every two years one outstandig paper for the ITA Technical Paper Award. This years winner is a paper presented during our Intl Conference in Düs- seldorf.
The award winning paper „Novel sgnal processing of online wall thickness gauge pro les for pro- duction monitoring of hot seam- less steel plants by Marc Choquet P.Eng PH.D and Olivier Duchesne Bamber of Tecnar ; Canada describe a process that is technically imag- inative for production monitoring , analyses, and optimising mill oper- ation.
When the process is applied it could easily become a game changer and by this become a winner for the creatig company and those com- panies which install and use it in their production process.
