FremgangsmÕte og innretning for fremstilling av metaller med liten diameter og stor lengde

摘要

The method for producing long pipes with a small diameter includes extraction of a strip from a coil, forming of this strip into a pipe with a longitudinal slit, and welding of the slit. The improvement in the method is that (a) the beginning and end of a number of strip coils are joined to one another by welding and (b) coils (23a-23n) are fed horizontally fed onto clamping rings (22a-22n) mounted on a rotatable supply drum (17), and are extracted from it without interruptions. Also claimed is a corresponding apparatus.
