Description
In 1926 the first of three seamless tube mills were built at the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation’s Aliquippa Works. The Seamless Tube Department consisted of a steel conditioning area, a 30-inch round mill, two tube mills, and facilities for finishing and shipping tubes and for producing couplings. The seamless hot mills (No. 1 pictured here) produced high strength pipe that was used to drill oil wells, to case wells, and to transport oil and gas. The Seamless Tube Department began its decline in April 1982 and by 1989, the entire Aliquippa Works had shutdown completely.
