Outokumpus Stainless Pipe facility in Wildwood, Florida (USA) announces a more robust Fast Track program designed to fill emergency orders for small volume, non-standard pipe products.
Key to the programs improvement is the new 6,000-ton, fully automated press at the Wildwood mill, which allows the mill team to produce heavy wall pipe from plate supplied by the Outokumpu quarto plate mill in New Castle, Indiana. With immediate access to the raw plate material, Fast Track orders can be placed quickly into production on the new press and adjacent plasma cutter.
Non-standard orders can include large diameter (over 14 nominal pipe size), specialty grades, custom lengths, and unique wall thicknesses. Typical Fast Track orders range from 10 to 24 diameter in duplex 2205 Code Plus Two® as well as 304L, 316L, 321, and 347.
