Hot Rolled Shipbuilding profiles

Bulb flats
Universal flats
L-profiles
Downstreaming
Ruukki Profiler has specialized in production of rolled profiles for shipbuilding and offshore
use. In shipbuilding we have long been ranked as one of the top European suppliers of steel
profiles and a leading global supplier of European bulb flats. Offshore activities have been
focused on platforms operating in the demanding environment of the North and Norwegian
Seas, although our profiles are found in offshore structures from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Caspian Sea.

Applications:

- steel profiles for all types of ships and applications

(oil tankers, container ships, naval vessels etc)
- offshore structures
- downstreaming of rolled profiles
(shotblasting and priming, grinding)

Ruukki is a metal expert you can rely on all the way, whenever you need metal based materials,
components, systems or total solutions. We constantly develop our product range and operating
models to match your needs.

 Downstreaming

Ruukki Profiler offers high quality downstreaming

of rolled profiles.
Shotblasting and priming
Addition of primer is completed using high pressure
paint spraying equipment. Applications vary dependent on thickness of primer, primer type and profile type.
Normal thickness is between 15 and 20 microns and can
increase to a maximum of 50 microns. The shop primers
used at Ruukki Profiler fall into one of two main categories. These are Zinc Silicate primers and Low Zinc
primers. Strict control is inherent in the production
process, with a special quality certificate
being issued before the profiles are marked and bundled
together.

Grinding

Using the latest technology, four corners of the profile

and two of its sides are ground simultaneously. This
improves evenness of grinding and increases cost
effectiveness. Ruukki Profiler can grind profiles with a
thickness of 60mm, including corners to a radius of 2mm.

 Tolerances

Tight dimensional and straightness tolerances are becoming even more important in producing steel structures with minimum weight and optimum strength. with
low standand tolerances and the possibility of producing
narrower tolerances under special agreement, we can
meet the most exacting requirements of any project.

Tolerances according to the tables below:

 Production schedule

The annual production schedule (per standard dimension) is as follows: bulb flats up to 12 times, universal
flats 12 times, L-profiles, T-Bulb flanges and heavy angles are subject to special agreement. For more detailed
information, please contact the marketing department at
Ruukki Profiler.

Minimum quantities

The minimum quantity for rolled profiles is usually

3000kg per item. An item is considered equivalent to
a product with the same grade, size, mark length and
delivery time.

Bundling

Bundling of shipbuilding profiles is completed using an

ISO 9001 approved procedure. Each profile type has
an individually designed bundling format for increased
security during transportation.

Strapping of bundles is completed using steel straps.

The number of profiles per bundle can vary, dependent on profile dimensions, although five straps are used
as standard for profiles under 16000mm in length and
seven straps for profiles of 16000mm and over.
For all profiles the maximum bundle weight is 5000kgs.
