Iran Spiral Co.

FEATURES OF ISCO

· Having two simultaneous production mills gives more flexibility and faster product delivery for multi- diameter orders.

· A 13 Kilometers private railroad connects ISCO to the public railway network which facilities raw material and product transportation.

· located strategically close to MOBARAKEH STEEL COMPLEX , which is the only supplier of hot rolled steel coils in Iran , ISCO minimizes transportation charges to it's own facilities.

· It's location in the center of IRAN ensures most economic logistics charges for deliveries to customers throughout the country.

· Polyurethane coating may be applied in a continuous and automatic coating line.

FEATURES OF PIPE

To obtain state-of-the-art production facilities, the factory has been equipped with two spiral pipe mills applying two different forming technologies from the well-reputed plant makers PRD, USA and HOESCH, Germany.

The main features of the ISCO plants can be summarized as follows:

· Capability of producing pipes with diameters over 64 inch (1600 millimeters).

· Pipe Length may vary from 6 to 18 meters.

· The applied manufacturing process ensures min. out-of-roundness tolerances.

· Using hot rolled steel coils rather than sheets or plates ensures most economic consumption of base material.

PRODUCTION RANGE AND CAPACITY

· Depending on the production mix the annual capacity can reach 120000 tons

· Possible manufactured diameters range from 16 (400 mm)- 120 (3000 mm) inches

· Pipes can be manufactured in wall thicknesses from 4 - 25.4 mm

· Hot rolled coils with X70 APL 5L processed

· Up to 64 inch pipes are formed using a '' Three Roll Bending'' system.

· ''External Cage'' system is used for forming pipes over 64 inches.

· Inspection of spiral weld seam, Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) and base metal with Ultrasonic Test. (On-line)

· Manual inspection of Skelp End Weld by Ultrasonic testing equipment.

· Hydrostatic tests can be performed with a max. test pressure 3000 psi for pipes up to 64 inch diameter.

· Pipe ends may be beveled in-line up to 80 inch diameter.

· Overhead cranes can handle max. loads of 50 tons of coil. Off-loading section as well as in the pipe yard.
