(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PRESS RELEASE
March 10, 2010 at 10.00 am EET
Outokumpu has introduced a new comprehensive system of duplex pipes and
fittings. The products, called Outokumpu Duralite(TM) Piping System, serve
customers in an increasingly wide range of applications. Metso, the major pulp
and paper technology company, chose Duralite pipes in the lean duplex grade LDX
2101® to rebuild a pilot paper machine. The machine is used to develop new
papermaking technologies and to test products at Metso's Paper Technology Center
in Finland.
The duplex products brought Metso a major material saving compared with the
conventional stainless steel material, accompanied with good corrosion
resistance.
"The high strength of the duplex material translates into more lightweight
process pipes, which again translate into increased cost-efficiency", says Metso
Procurement Manager Jari Mäntynen.
Outokumpu's lean duplex LDX 2101® has in recent years established itself as a
competitive alternative to austenitic grades in pulp and paper processes. The
Duralite piping system now completes Outokumpu's product offering.
"This is the last piece of the puzzle, which completes the picture", says Jarkko
Pajusalo, Outokumpu's General Manager for the Pulp and Paper Segment. "Our
customers can now take full advantage of our lean duplex grade in their
processes."
The introduction of Duralite piping system is in line with Outokumpu's strategy
to serve end-user customers more efficiently and to grow the share of special
grades. Outokumpu is the market leader in duplex grades with a global market
share of close to 50 percent.
