- Summary
- Film User Summary - forging a steel oil pipe from an old ship
BP synopsis: In Iran the oil is pipes across to the refinery and then shipped back to the west. Back on the Clyde old battle ships are cut up as scrap and then 2.5 ton ingots are created. They are then put in a ‘piercer’ which creates a hole through the steel rod, next is the ‘elongator’ which stretches it out and then it is forged. 90 feet of pipe is produced and it is cut down and moved back to Iran to create oil pipelines. - Keywords
