performance while operators can con- centrate on individual tube profiles. Such functionalities foster optimal engagement and utilization.
Conclusion
The noncontact laser-ultrasonics technolo- gy (Lut) emerges as a reliable option when the time comes to replace aging gamma- ray-based gauges or to add new ones to a seamless tube production line. For more than a decade, gauges such as Tecnar’s
Lut 2.0 have been successfully measuring the key online characteristics of hot tubes and pipes to reshape the landscape of hot seamless tube production. Their intuitive user interface (UI) is a powerful platform that empowers plant operators and man- agers to make informed decisions based on accurate data to optimize their hot seam- less tube production processes.
By presenting user-friendly and visually en- gaging real-time data, these gauges provide plant operators and managers with de- tailed information on each individual tube, as well as an advanced toolset to track
batch trends. Such tools have been shown to help them promptly address issues such as wall thickness deviation and eccentricity stemming from uneven heating, piercing, mandrel fatigue or roll setting inaccura- cies. The Lut 2.0 gauge can really enhance process control and overall operational efficiency by helping to elevate quality consistency, lower costs and improve productivity. In essence, these gauges are more than just tools: they’re key assets for manufacturing excellence and increased profitability.
