Pre-weld pipework fabrication tools
and equipment
For over 20 years, Prestige Industrial
Pipework Equipment (PIPE) Ltd has
been supplying high quality, time
saving, innovative tools and equipment
to the many pipework fabrication
industries including; oil & gas, nuclear,
petrochemical and shipbuilding. From
day one, Pipe Ltd has strived to develop,
expand, and strengthen its product
range by reacting to feedback from its
customers. Its dedication to providing
the best equipment at competitive
prices has, in recent years, led the
company into the field of manufacturing.
Pipe Ltd manufactures an extensive
range of welding alignment clamps that
have been designed and developed
around the problems faced by pipe fitters
and welders across the globe. The range
of pipe clamps manufactured and offered
by Pipe Ltd is unrivalled, whether welding
small bore pipes and fittings, or aligning
large diameter pipes or vessels, Pipe Ltd
offers a comprehensive range of weld
fit-up solutions, enabling fast, accurate
and most importantly, repeatable results.
In addition, Pipe Ltd manufactures a
comprehensive range of Pipe Jack
Stands, designed to support (and
transport) pipes of all sizes and weight,
whether out on site, or in the workshop.
The whole range of Pipe Stands are
weight load tested and certified, and
are CE rated and marked. These stands
provide the fastest, most cost effective
solution to all pipe handling applications.
With the increase in use of exotic
materials (such as Duplex, Super Duplex
and titanium) across the pipework
fabrication industry, the need for welds
of the highest quality and purity has
become increasingly important. To
achieve this quality, oxygen must be
removed from, and kept out of the weld
chamber while the root pass (initial weld
run) is performed. To do this the weld
area must be sealed off and ‘purged’ of
the oxygen to prevent oxidation of the
weld leading to discoloration, corrosion
and an uneven weld bead.
Reacting to this increasing requirement,
Pipe Ltd has developed a full range of
systems designed specifically for this
purpose. From inflatable bag systems
and silicone disc systems, to water
soluble pre-formed dams, weld purge
monitors (for constantly reading the
depleting level oxygen), and Tungsten
Electrode Grinders designed to give
accurate points on tungsten electrodes
for consistent stable welding arcs. Pipe
Ltd now offers the most comprehensive
pipe purging equipment range in the
world market.
Together with its portable pipe cutting
and bevelling systems, plate bevelling
machines, and heat exchanger
manufacture
and
maintenance
equipment, Pipe Ltd has grown to
become one of the largest pipework
fabrication equipment manufacturers
and suppliers in the world.
Pipe Ltd will be exhibiting at the Tube
Düsseldorf Exhibition from the 26–30
March on stand 6H41, and will be
conducting live demonstrations of their
range of products, as well as having
technical staff on hand to answer any
questions and discuss any requirements.
