A general overview of the various processes of chemicals and dispensing systems used in the production of welded tube, including:
- Mill Coolants — Chemicals and filtration/purification system designs and options
- In-line Coatings — Interim (short term) and permanent (long-term) coatings
- Chemical types and dispensing systems
- Cut-off — Lubricants and coolants used for the guillotine and saw type cutting to length in-line on the mill
- The emphasis will be on differentiating the impact of metal produced (hot-rolled, pickled, cold-rolled, stainless, galvanized, aluminized, etc.), secondary fabrication/finishing, and end-use.
