OP Srl, Italy, supplies a wide range
of processing machines designed to
manufacture rigid tubing for hydraulic
systems. The operation and life of hydraulic
system components is
not only dependent upon
component quality but
also that of the assembly
system and machining
process.
Accurate pre-assembly
of the fitting cutting ring
and the 37° flaring of the
steel pipe is paramount to
the safety of any system
using DIN 2353 and SAE
J 514 fittings joints.
Incorrect assembly of the
spinner and inaccurate
flaring of the pipe might
jeopardise the system
and, in extreme cases,
cause injury to property and persons.
To avoid this, OP offers various Unispeed
series equipment models. Easy-to-use and
portable, the machines offer a wide range
of tools for machining carbon steel pipe
and stainless steel pipe from Ø 6-42mm,
with thickness up to 4mm.
The OP range includes practical bending
machines that are ideal for bending
stainless steel and carbon steel pipes
up to a minimum thickness of 4mm and
maximum diameter of
42mm.
The company also
provides the S series of
deburring machines for
post-cutting removal of
burrs to leave the pipe
edge clean and smooth.
These machines prevent
burrs from entering the
hydraulic system, thus
avoiding damage to
pumps, valves and other
components.
OP offers a series of multi-
functional and mobile
units, including Center
Junior and Mini Center.
These machines combine all separate tools,
providing the operators with all they need in
a single unit for the finest work results.

Fabricom GTI, Belgium, is a specialist in
induction bends with the capabilities required
to produce bends for the most advanced
onshore and offshore oil and gas pipeline
systems. The company also provides
technology for specific applications in the
chemical, petrochemical and energy sectors.
In addition to offering high quality
standards, induction bending also offers
features such as the bending of single-
length pipe-spools in multiple planes,
which reduces the number of butt welds in
the piping system. The company can also
offer the complete pre-fabrication of high
pressure piping systems such as those
used in power stations.
Fabricom GTI operates six induction
bending machines with diameters of up
to 64", all of which offer a high degree of
flexibility in terms of bend radius, bend
angle and bend plane. As the machines are
computer controlled, close tolerances can
be achieved.
The company recently installed a quench
tank at its facilities in Belgium, in order to
be able to meet the strict requirements
set by the oil and gas industry with regard
to material properties. Following heat
treatment, stainless and duplex steel bends
can now be cooled down immediately,
in order to obtain the right corrosion
resistance.
