Introduction
Thermatool is a leading provider of seam annealing solutions for API® Oil and Gas Pipe producers globally. Their systems cater to various pipe diameters, wall thicknesses, and API® specifications such as 5L, 5CT, and material grades like P110, L80, N80, X80, X100.

Seam Annealing Systems
Thermatool's seam annealing systems are designed to remove untempered Martensite in the weld Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) as required by API® specifications. These systems offer continuous closed-loop temperature control to ensure critical process temperatures are maintained during production.

Smart Anneal™ Control System
The Smart Anneal™ system automates the induction seam annealing process, providing precise temperature control and a user-friendly interface. Key features include:

• Database for product setup by entering pipe parameters and storing power and frequency settings.
• Quick and accurate inductor positioning using stored parameters.
• Simplified touch screen control for multi-stage annealing systems.
• Single power control for multiple power supply applications.
• Scrap reduction and higher quality product through precise control.
• Speed Power Control adjusts output with mill speed changes.

Power Supply and Efficiency
Thermatool seam annealers are powered by VIP® series power supplies, offering:

• Output power from 200kW to 3000kW.
• Operating frequencies of .5, 1, 3, or 6 kHz.
• High efficiency of 92% and 0.95 input power factor.
• Mill-mounted carriage assembly for precise inductor positioning.
• Quick-lift mechanism for rapid inductor removal.
• Optional automated seam-tracking capability.

Spiral Seam Annealing
Thermatool also provides spiral seam annealing systems for SAW (Submerged Arc Welded) spiral welded API® line pipe, utilizing HAZ technology to soften the weld boundary.

HF Welding Solutions
Thermatool offers innovative HF welding solutions, known for their CFI series solid-state HF induction welders. These welders cover a power range from 50kW to 2MW and frequencies from 120kHz to 800kHz, suitable for various applications including API® oil and gas pipe, structural/mechanical tube, and more.
