Line pipes must be robust enough to withstand extreme conditions and have secure welds; oil transport pipes and lines must have standardized threads. To ensure these qualities, SMS group offers fully integrated lines and stand-alone machines for seamless and welded tube finishing. From the primary product to the ready-for-sale tube – our business partners can source all the equipment they need from just one company.

Finishing lines
For OCTG, boiler tube, general construction applications, and heat treatment
Our complete lines for tube and pipe finishing reflect our many years of experience in plant engineering. Depending on the requirements of your customers, you may need different quality control equipment with quite different performance characteristics. Likewise, it is necessary to integrate different machining processes into the material flow.
SMS finishing lines are specially designed for these applications: OCTG finishing lines, boiler tube finishing lines, finishing lines for general construction tubes, and heat treatment lines.

Threading machines
For standard and premium threads as well as couplings
SMS group offers a wide range of threading machines to produce high-quality end products to international standards such as API or GOST, as well as all types of premium joints. Our range includes not only high-precision machinery with a rotating tube (type TCG), but also high-performance machinery with rotating tools (type CTM).
For the manufacturing of couplings, SMS group supplies precision coupling threading machines (type RMG). These machines are capable of cutting all customary threads for the OCTG industry in one set-up, meaning close tolerances can be complied with.
Threading machines:
- TCG – thread-cutting machine for OCTG pipes
- CMT – thread-cutting machine
- RMG – coupling threading machine

Thread measuring system
ThreadView for OCTG tubes
Tubes are often processed on our thread-cutting machines (TCG) and used worldwide as oilfield tubulars (OCTG tubes). Our machines provide high-quality finished products to international standards, such as API or GOST. Also regulated by these standards are regular checks to ensure the proper quality of cut threads. That’s where ThreadView – a thread measurement system, which is fully integrated into the thread cutting line – comes into play.
ThreadView offers the possibility to measure the negative flanks of premium threads and is the missing building block for the realization of a complete Digital Twin. The system not only enables the 100 % measurement of all produced threads; it also ensures an evaluation and documentation of the measurement data.
Benefits
- Risk reduction: Decrease the operational risk and the risk of a worst-case scenario in the oilfield thanks to 100 % measurement of all produced tubes
- Cost reduction: Decrease your operational costs thanks to automated measurement, evaluation, and documentation
- Reputation increase: Decrease the claim rate thanks to the direct feedback on quality results
- Digital ready: Be prepared for the market demand of tomorrow as ThreadView is the building block for your digital pipe twin
