FONTIJNE Grotnes is a specialist in the
design and construction of pipe-ends and full
length pipe expanders for the pipe industry.
The Fontijne Grotnes expander ensures a
constant, reproducible process regarding
diameter and mechanical properties, and
the design maximises the radial forces in
order to obtain maximum output in relation
to pipe dimensions.
A full length pipe expander is an
essential part of the production process
in a pipe mill. The pipe expander process
makes the welding of the pipeline in
the field, even cut pipe sections, much
easier. Fontijne Grotnes is constantly
improving and preparing the full length
pipe expander process for new market
demands, such as higher outputs, thicker
wall thickness, higher material grades up
to X120, stricter ovality and straightness
tolerances.
The company’s Straightening System is
designed for small pipes ranging from 16" to
30". This system controls the straightness
of the pipes in all directions within ½-API
and DNV standards. The Fontijne Grotnes
pipe end-expander sizes the end of large
diameter pipes to parallel-, spherical-
and semi-spherical joints. The joints are
applicable for SSAW pipes, among others,
mainly used for conveyance of water and
sewage.
