Hydraulic tubing machinery range with bending capability

OP Srl, Italy, supplies a wide range of processing machines designed to manufacture rigid tubing for hydraulic systems. The operation and life of hydraulic

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.

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.

The 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. company

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. 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.

High tech application-specific solutions from transfluid.

Specialists in induction bends

From tube bending technology to tube end preparation.

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. › Fabricom GTI operates six induction bending machines
