Tengtian at the 10th Shanghai Tube & Pipe Trade Fair

11 May 2023

The 10th Shanghai Tube & Pipe Trade Fair opened on 11 May 2023, and Hebei Tengtian was there with its welded pipe equipment. A trade fair is a short window in which a buyer can compare several suppliers in one afternoon, so the questions come quickly: what wall thickness the line runs, what a shift produces, and how the rolls are changed.

Those are the same three numbers we ask for before quoting anything, and they are settled faster across a table than in an email thread. The range on show covered HFW lines from HG32 up to HG630, SSAW spiral lines for large-diameter pipe, and the equipment either side of the mill — slitting, cut-to-length, CZ purlin forming and H-beam lines.

Buyers who arrived at the stand with a drawing left with a configuration outline against it. If you missed the fair, the same conversation can be had on a live video walk-through of the Zanhuang works.
