Pipe and tube manufactured by Michigan Seamless Tube is cold drawn (cold finished) to customer specific order requirements. Raw material in the form of solid round billets arrives in a broad selection of grades and sizes. Heated in a rotary hearth furnace, each billet is indented in the exact center before entering the rotary piercing mill where a hydraulic RAM feeds the billet between heavy rollers that drive it over a piercing point to produce a tube shell.
