Sawyer improves ratchet clamp

Sawyer Manufacturing Company has

redesigned its Ratchet Clamp with a

lower profile to allow better access to

the butt join, helping welders effectively

and quickly align and weld pipe. The

ratchet mechanism has also been

improved with a built-in handle and

enclosed threads to protect against

dirt and weld spatter, all while retaining

the true double ratchet feature that

allows for quicker closure on the pipe to

increase speed and performance.

The Ratchet Clamp is built with a

focus on speed and accuracy. The ten-

ton ratchet can deliver precision and

rugged durability with ease. The clamp

is designed with an open bridgework

to allow full 360° welding, ensuring a

quality weld. The machined headrings

are precision-bored for consistent and

accurate fit up. The Ratchet Clamp’s

new yellow colour provides high visibility

and improved safety.

“There are a lot of clamps out there,” said

Dave Hembree, Sawyer Manufacturing

vice president. “I believe our customers

will be pleasantly surprised by the small

but important changes we made with

this clamp.”

Sawyer Mfg Co has been manufacturing

and designing welding and pipeline

equipment since 1948. Equipment is

designed, engineered and manufactured

in the company’s new facility in Tulsa,

Oklahoma, USA. Sawyer equipment

is used in the construction and

maintenance of pipeline, waste water

and sewer lines, marine and offshore

applications, gathering and distribution

systems, and other welding and pipeline

applications.

Universal

squaring

turk’s head

OLIMPIA 80 Tube Mills has

engineered and put into operation

a universal squaring turk’s head

in a tube mill installed in Spain.

The main capacity of the installed

machine is from 20x20 (30x10)

mm to 70x70 (100x40) mm, in a

thickness range from 0.8 to 4mm.

The complete tube mill can

produce tubes with special steel

quality, up to TS 1,400 MPa.

With this system the tube mill

will produce the full tube range

(square and rectangular shapes)

without changing a single roll in

the sizing turk’s head stands.
