After the complex of engineering and research works, JSC “EZTM” specialists came to the conclusion that both units with different types of reeling mills (PQF & MPM) can achieve the same figures with respect to the rolled tubes accuracy. The only difference is concluded in capital and process costs. In same conditions PQF scheme significantly loses in part of process costs. In addition to the above no one serious competitive advantage of PQF mill products was found. This fact is actually proved: you won’t be able to find in the market a tube which was not sold by the reason of its manufacture at MPM mill.
