THE recent Tube Russia 2005 exhibition generated considerable interest in the technologies of global Induction Pipe Coatings and Offshore Heat Treatment Solutions Specialists, Radyne, of Berkshire, UK.

"The Radyne name is well-known across the oil and gas processing industries, as well as numerous other sectors,”  said general manager, Steve Baskerville, “and Tube Russia 2005 provided the perfect opportunity to meet valued acquaintances and establish new relationships”.
He added: "Our solutions include the compact Flexitune system for the localised repair of damaged pipe coatings, end pre-heat solutions for use prior to pipe welding, post-weld tempering solutions, line-pipe heating for coating and drying technologies and totally mobile containerised heat and coat systems for use on land or offshore.”
Perhaps of greatest interest to Tube Russia 2005 delegates, was the ability to find out about Radyne's ‘Merlin' combined `induction heat and coat' system for field joints.
Merlin attracted significant attention from various organisations, he said.
