Seamless pipes .
Welded Stainless Steel Tubemill . These quantities were made possible by the new systems . A gap in the market that Venus recognized was large diameter stainless steel pipes , so it invested in a stainless steel LSAW plate welding system by JCO press . Dhruv Patel explains : “ This is a plate welding system with a 2,000-ton JCO press that creates a bend through repeated , targeted pressing of the stainless steel plates . Stainless steel pipes with a wall thickness of up to 50 mm can be produced and this gap in the market can be closed . The maximum production capacity of the LSAW system is pipes with an outer diameter of 1,456 mm and a thickness of 50 mm and a length of 12 meters . These giant stainless-steel pipes are commonly used for cross-country pipelines and oilfield pipes .” The vertical hot rolling mill was undoubtedly an important investment for the piercing process in the production of seamless pipes . “ We can now produce mother hollows ourselves , i . e . the raw material for seamless pipes ,” says Dhruv Patel happily . In addition , new , larger pilger lines , an expander and drawing benches were added to enable the entire manufacturing process of seamless pipes up to a diameter of 219 mm to be represented . “ Thanks to this wide range of technical production facilities , Venus Pipes & Tubes has established itself as a kind of one-stop shop for stainless steel pipes in India ,” emphasizes Mr . Patel . Incidentally , in-house mother hollow production offers several advantages , he points out other important aspects : “ This allows us to guarantee all customers security in the form of material origin . Our input materials are also of Indian origin , which is the basis for the reliable partnership with customers . The quality is ensured with the ‘ 100 % Made in India ’ label and certification .”
Expertise : Stainless Steel Venus is proud of its ‘ 100 % Made in India ’ products . From Raw material to finish , we provide complete documents and transparency to the clients . The raw materials are mainly supplied by local Indian suppliers with a good reputation or by renowned international producers . The young , rapidly growing company is very proud to be the largest stainless steel pipe manufacturer in India . “ Stainless steel is our expertise ,” confirms Dhruv Patel . Instead , investments are being made not only in increasing capacity , but also in quality . In addition to a very sophisticated ultrasonic testing setup , a fully auto German-made RTR ( Digital Radiography ) system was purchased for the testing welding quality of LSAW pipes . A new central lab is setup for centralizing all testings . “ Venus is relying more and more on European quality and know-how for the production of state-of-the-art products of the highest quality ,” says Stefan Müller-Bernhardt .
