Yuantuo Induction Quench & Temper Line for Steel Pipes and OCTG

Yuantuo’s induction Q&T line is engineered for high-strength processing of steel pipes, OCTG (casing/tubing), drill collars, and single/hydraulic props. Medium-frequency power with a four-supply architecture enables section-specific heating; helical-angle roller conveying equalizes circumferential temperature; and PLC + infrared closed-loop control holds quench/temper setpoints—delivering repeatable strength, toughness, and wear performance at production scale.

Description

Yuantuo specializes in Q&T equipment for steel pipe, OCTG (casing/tubing), drill collars, single props, and hydraulic props. Our induction heat-treatment line combines advanced power electronics, precise temperature control, and a robust mechanical layout to boost throughput and stabilize product quality.

Primary Applications

Quench-and-temper processing of steel pipes, OCTG, drill collars, single/hydraulic props—delivering strength, toughness, and wear resistance for high-pressure, high-temperature service.

 

Power Architecture

  • Full-body Quench: 500 kW @ 1,000 Hz
  • Butt/End Upset Re-heat for Quench: 120 kW @ 1,000 Hz
  • Full-body Temper: 200 kW @ 500 Hz
  • Butt/End Upset Re-heat for Temper: 80 kW @ 500 Hz

This four-module layout enables precise, section-specific heating and closed-loop control across the entire Q&T route.

Size Coverage

Applicable to multiple specifications of pipes, casing, drill collars, and props. Typical OD ranges include:

Inch series (OD, in):
  • 4.83–8.53
  • 5.51–9.96
  • 6.45–9.52
Metric series (OD, mm):
  • 101.6–114.3
  • 127–139.7
  • 168.68–177.80
  • 193.68–219.08

(Other sizes available on request.)

Line Advantages

Helical Roller Conveyance

Roller axes are set at a defined angle to the workpiece axis so each tube rotates while advancing at constant speed—improving circumferential temperature uniformity and heating efficiency. Between-inductor rollers are 304 non-magnetic stainless steel with water cooling for long, stable operation.

Individually Driven, VFD-Controlled Axes

Each feed axis has its own motor–gear reducer and VFD, allowing section-by-section speed profiles and residence-time tuning to match different grades, diameters, and wall thicknesses.

Dedicated End-Upset Re-heat (Butt Heating)

An inline re-heat station measures end-upset (butt) temperature and applies targeted induction re-heating to keep the end and body within ±10 °C, eliminating typical temperature differentials at thickened ends.

Recipe Management

The recipe system recalls process parameters automatically from inputs (grade, OD, wall thickness), reducing manual error and shortening changeovers.

Multi-Loop Closed-Loop Control

For unstable power grids, the line employs high-grade temperature/voltage feedback. It maintains process consistency even with ±20% mains-voltage fluctuation, safeguarding quality and uptime.
