Pipe bevelling tool ensures weld
end alignment
ESCO Tool is introducing a new blade
holder for the Commander Millhog®
heavy-wall pipe bevelling tool that
includes a bore blade to create a more
uniform ID and ensure proper pipe end
alignment.
The Commander Millhog pipe
bevelling tool machines heavy wall,
highly alloyed pipe from 95.25mm ID to
355.6mm OD, including super duplex
and P-91. Featuring an optional three-
blade holder, the tool can bevel, face
and bore simultaneously, providing a
uniform inside bore to create a tight weld
that X-rays well, and a smooth face and
bevel for proper pipe end alignment.
Capable of performing any angle of
end-prep, including 37½° and J-bevels
for orbital welding, the Esco Commander
Millhog pipe bevelling tool uses one
mandrel and only seven sets of clamps
for the entire range of the tool. Available
with pneumatic or hydraulic motors,
the oversize clamps have six contact
points to mount securely for chatter-free
machining end preps. The Commander
Millhog pipe bevelling tool is available
for sale and rent.

Quality inspection for stainless
steel tubes
CONTRÔLE Mesure Systèmes (CMS)
designs, develops and manufactures
a complete range of NDT products in
eddy current and ultrasonic testing
methods, including high
performance instruments
and systems, probes and
transducers, accessories,
and complete turnkey
machines with associated
mechanics.
Non-destructive in-
spection systems from
CMS are adapted to
different kinds of material,
ferrous or non-ferrous,
welded or not.
For high quality and
precision tubing, CMS
has developed its ultra-
sonic rotating head
RotoUTscan, for tube
inspection in stainless steel, titanium,
zirconium and carbon steel (diameter
range 6 to 250mm), for longitudinal
and transversal defect detection,
thickness measurement, OD-ID and
ovalisation.
It can be combined with other CMS
equipment (including magnetising units,
rotating systems and support coils) for
a full body inspection of the product,
and can be installed together in a
strong control bench including centring
devices.
Probus supervision software, to
collect information provided by NDT
equipment, allows the display of
combined signals (UT/ET) and creation
of inspection reports that can be used
as control evidence for quality services
and customers.
Data stored can be recalled for
analysis and quality treatment.
