A continuous rolling mill for producing seamless tubes, operating on the restrained mandrel principle, has a stand-less structure which includes a load-bearing box-type framework wherein there are formed seats for accommodating working rolls and their chocks. The structure has reduced bulk in the axial direction and weight.

A coupling for connecting together two metal tubes end-to-end comprises a male half-coupling and a female half-coupling respectively attached to opposite ends of the tubes to be connected and made fast with each other through first and second annular connectors, respectively rigid with the male half-coupling and female half-coupling and coupled together in substantially bayonet-joint relationship. Such a coupling is specially suited to the formation of marine pilings for supporting offshore platforms.

A continuous rolling mill with crossed alternately inclined stands is described in which the working rolls and their roll chocks forming each stand are united to form a unit which can be displaced individually in a direction parallel to the axes of rotation of the said rolls. During changing of the rolls, a thrust member expels the said unit from the stand, in a direction parallel to the axes of rotation of the rolls, onto a load-carrying platform which can be tipped about an axis parallel to the rolling direction to a horizontal position on a carriage which is movable on rails along the sides of the rolling mill.
