Range of steel pipe cutting systems
from Exact Tools Oy
Exact Tools Oy has launched a new
range of steel and plastic pipe cutting
systems and cutting accessories.
The company says that its award-
winning PipeCut systems are one of the
fastest, easiest, safest and most precise
ways to cut and bevel pipes and tubes
on-site, producing a straight, ready-to-
install finished surface in a multitude
of diameters and materials, eliminating
many of the problems associated with
pipe cutting.
Models range from the PipeCut 170
and 170E systems for cutting 15 to
170mm diameter steel and plastic pipe,
to the PipeCut P400 for one-process
cutting and bevelling of plastic pipe
from 100 to 400mm in diameter with a
wall thickness up to 25mm. Each model
can be supplied with a choice of three
different blades: tungsten carbide tip
blades for general use in cutting steels,
copper, aluminium, plastic and multi-
layer materials; cermet with ceramic
tips for heavy duty applications such
as cutting stainless steel and acid proof
steel; and diamond discs for cutting
cast iron pipes. The Exact V1000 model
can cut spiral duct tube ranging from
75 to 1,000mm in diameter, with wall
thicknesses ranging from 1.5 to 6mm.
These systems are suitable for pipe
installers employed inpower generation,
refinery and chemical plant, hospital
and other construction sites, house
building and renovation, shipbuilding,
wood pulp, fresh and waste water
systems, heating and cooling systems,
gas installations, maintenance and
repair work.
The cutter firmly grips the pipe to be
cut, with the blade being automatically
positioned to cut correctly; the entire
weight of the cutter rests on the pipe.
When started, the blade chips the pipe
surface rather than grinding it, producing
a burr-free cut surface that is ready for
installation. The operation is dust free
and does not produce any sparks.
Each system is supplied with a set of
pipe holders (except model V1000, for
which they are an optional extra).

– Finland
Tube Russia to exhibit the latest
in tube and pipe products in 2013
The trade fair trio Metallurgy-Litmash
(International Trade Fair for Metallurgy,
Machinery, Plant Technology and
Products), Tube Russia (The International
Tube and Pipe Trade Fair in Russia) and
Aluminium/Non-Ferrous (International
Trade Fair for Aluminum and Non-
Ferrous Metals, Materials, Technologies
and Products) will return to the ZAO
Expocentr in Moscow from 25-28 June
2013.
The trade fairs will be jointly organised
by Messe Düsseldorf together with its
subsidiary Messe Düsseldorf Moscow
and the support of the International
Tube Association (ITA) and the German
Engineering Federation (VDMA). The
three trade fairs will present the latest
innovations for the metal pipe and
metalworking industries: Metallurgy-
Litmash 2013 will present metallurgical
plants and rolling mills, thermo process
technology and foundry machinery as
well as sheet metals, welding, cutting
and joining technology and information
processing equipment. Tube Russia
2013 will feature tube manufacturing
machinery, tubes and accessories,
raw materials, used machinery and
process technology tools as well as
measuring and control technology.
Exhibit categories at Aluminium/Non-
Ferrous 2013 will include machinery
and technology for aluminium and
non-ferrous extraction, processing
and refinement, raw materials and
primary metal products as well as semi-
finished and finished products. Visitors
will include engineers, technicians,
buyers, production managers and
sales staff from the iron, steel, non-
ferrous, metal, foundries, mechanical
engineering, furnace construction, tube
and automotive supply industries as well
as from the aerospace, aviation, energy
production and chemical sectors.
During the last few years, the
Commonwealth of Independent States
(CIS) has positioned itself as a key player
in the global steel industry. Especially
Russia has become a leading force in
this sector. According to the “Russian
Steel Industry Analysis”, steel production
in Russia has increased rapidly during
the past few years due to sufficient
raw material supply, growing investment
in construction projects, domestic and
export demand as well as inexpensive
and reliable gas and energy supply.
When the trade fair trio was last held in
2012, a total of 323 exhibitors from 24
countries showcased their products to
10,500 visitors.
