The company’s tube and pipe bending machines are available from small bench-top models to larger machines designed for tubes up to 3" x 0.188" WT, with bend radii as tight as two times the tube diameter. Controls range from manual to programmable. End-finishing machines are used to shape the ends of the tubes of all material types. PHI’s tube end finishing machines perform functions such as squaring and deburring, both ID and OD and squaring of the tube in one operation, flaring the ends of tubes both 37° and 45°, and bead forming the ends of tubes for those applications where hose clamps are required. PHI offers a full range of machines for tube sizes ranging from 0.125" to 8" OD and wall thickness to 0.125". The company also manufactures pipe flanging machines for those industries associated with the petrochemical and petroleum industries. These machines offer a fast and inexpensive way to cold form 90° flanges on the ends of pipe with diameters ranging from 0.5" IPS to 8" IPS sched 40, or to 4" IPS sched 80. PHI – USA Fax : +1 626 333 3610 Timcal Ltd, Switzerland, offers expertise in the manufacture of high-grade graphite and carbon powders, with emphasis on the development and end-user application of lubricants and scale treatment agents of hot metal forming processes. These activities fall into three categories: products, application equipment and technical services, collectively forming Timcal Rollit ® technologies. The company provided mandrel bar lubrication technology, in the form of Timcal Rollit ® DS or DP, to withstand the high pressures, temperatures and friction during the rolling process.
