DIGITALTALLY

PipeTracer™

PipeTracer™ is a specialized tracking and traceability tool that allows instant identification of Tenaris products on-site with a mobile device. By scanning mill applied codes located on the pipe body and / or thread protectors, it is possible to obtain technical and dimensional information from each pipe to create a digital running tally. A unique pipe reference code (URC) is included on each individual pipe.

ionPipe Grade Identification

Pipe manufacturers apply color bands to the pipe body and couplings to help identify different steel grades from a distance.

In addition to color bands, the stencils on the pipe body and couplings provide information on the tubular product and its manufacturing process (e.g; dimensions, material, threaded connection, test pressure, if seamless or welded, manufacturing mill, heat number, etc.).__

THE COLOUR CODES IN THIS SECTION ARE FOR GUIDENCE PURPOSES

ONLY, ANY CHANGES MAY NOT BE UPDATED.

NOTE: COLOUR BANDS MAY ALSO BE APPLIED ACCORDING TO CUSTOMER

SPECIFICATIONS. THE TABLES GIVEN BELOW DO NOT APPLY TO THESE CASES.
