On-site cutting and bevelling PIPE Ltd is a UK-based specialist supplier of pipework fabrication cutting and bevelling equipment. The company is able to cater for any cutting and bevelling requirements whether cold or hot, for workshop or on-site environments. Two of the most popular machines in its range are the split frame cutting and bevellingmachines: the heavy duty steel frame “supercutter” and the light-weight alloy body “MCA Clamshell”. These machines are designed for the cold cutting and bevelling of pipe, where the use of a hot cutting method is prohibited or a machined bevel is required. The split frame design enables the operator to mount the machine anywhere along a pipeline to cut and bevel the pipe simultaneously. Ideal for on-site work or in areas where there is restricted access to the pipe, due to their low profile design, once clamped on the pipe, the cut and bevel is produced by an inner rotating ring, housing cutting tools mounted in spring loaded toolboxes which follow the contour of the pipe to produce an accurate weld preparation. Cutting tools are available to machine mild steel, stainless steel and exotic materials such as duplex and super duplex. Machines are available with electric, pneumatic or hydraulic motors. Models are available to cut from 1" to 60" pipe (larger sizes made to order), with all types of weld preparation achievable on wall thicknesses up to 60mm. Among the other pipeworking equipment PIPE Ltd manufactures and supplies are an extensive range of pipe jack stands and supports, pipe welding alignment clamps, and specialist pipe purging equipment. Prestige Industrial Pipework Equipment (PIPE) Ltd – UK Email: sales@pipe-ltd.com Website: www.pipe-ltd.com Precision tubing TUBE Hollows International (THI), formerly known as Dearborn Precision Tubular Products, is demonstrating precision seamless tube hollows (otherwise known as ‘starter tubes’ or ‘mother tubes’) to the tube/tube reduction industries. The process THI uses, known as deep hole drilling or ‘gundrilling’, serves the seamless tube producing industries, as well as manufacturers of tubular devices and components used in applications such as medical/surgical, aerospace, oil and gas, and commercial nuclear. Through a unique and proprietary drilling process THI is able to produce and guarantee extreme concentricity with unmatched uniform wall thickness tolerances that separate it from off-the-shelf gun-drilling equipment.
