 PRD
Company has responded to the needs of pipe producers since 1961. Today PRD Mills offer greater levels of manufacturing
versatility -- lowering the cost of producing pipe while increasing product offerings.
The New Generation Spiral Weld Mill designs can provide
pipe diameters from 200 to 4200 mm, with wall thicknesses ranging from 2 to 25 mm and pipe lengths up to 30 meters.
PRD's versatility adapts to a diverse market. Customized
solutions include the capability of a single pipe manufacturing factory typically producing:
- 400 mm diameter slurry pipe for ash, coal, phosphate,
etc. (conveying within water)
- 600 mm diameter pipe for oil/gas (API) transmission
- 800 mm diameter pipe for piling (foundation stabilization),
structural support, bridges, towers, caissons, etc.

PRD Spiral Welded Pipe
|
 PRD has chosen to use the spiral method of forming tubular
products because of the flexibility of the process. Spiral pipe can be made from a variety of raw materials,
such as carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and coated metals. A wide range of diameters
can be made from almost any width of raw material, and as a result, inventory requirements can be reduced.
Because of our "free forming" method of pipe spiraling, additional tooling or separate mandrels for each diameter of pipe
are not required. Minimum changeover time is required for diameter change.
The production output speeds vary according to the
type and gauge of the material being used. PRD Spiral Pipe Mills produce smoothwall weldseam pipe for water
pipe (AWWA), slurry pipe, line pipe (API), and structural pipe; and spiral lockseam pipe for less severe applications.
 PRD's
unique, internationally good reputation in the field of quality machinery is further protected by various patents.
In an effort to satisfy our customers' needs for maximum performance, we are continually improving and upgrading
our designs. Total system responsibility is accepted for the manufacturing of quality products.
