A scientific and technical meeting titled “Tuboscope TK-UBI Technology as a Reliable System for Welding Internally Coated Pipes” was held in cooperation between Tuboscope-NOV and the Materials Engineering Society, with the aim of exchanging experiences and showcasing the best technologies.

CONTENTS:

– TK-UBI tube technology ensures complete safety of internally coated lines, rather than coating the lines at the installation site in harsh environments.

– Product description, details, and features.

– Description of the product’s on-site installation, with special consideration for the line pipe welding process.

– TK-UBI tube manufacturing process and quality assurance features for long-term on-site performance compared to conventional coating methods.
