Pipe Beveling Machine -New Product: HPC - Internal Line Up Pipe Clamps

The pipeline welding quality in pipeline construction is crucial and has to fullfill worldwide standards, certified by international authorities.

Essen, Germany (prHWY.com) March 4, 2013 - The pipeline welding quality in pipeline construction is crucial and has to fullfill worldwide standards, certified by international authorities. Companies like Norske Veritas have set up guidelines, to avoid defects and therefore environment and health risks, by use of the best pipeline equipment.
Very important is the choice of the correct internal welding pipe clamp for weld preparation, to compensate tolerances of pipe manufacturers and to avoid edge misalignment during welding process. Internal line up clamps are the most frequently used pipeline alignment equipment nowadays, because it provides a full access to the weld seam during the entire welding process.
The new innovative system HPC is available for all sizes from 6-60 inch and is available as manual or fully remote controlled system. Especially the "all on bord" fully automatic system is very user friendly. Hydraulic motor, drive and pipe clamps can be operated with a remote control from outside.

Compared to external clamping systems, the HPC offers a fast and accurate adjustment, no tag weld is needed and the root pass directly can be done. It helps to avoid oval pipe problems (depending on the wall thickness) and can be used for pipes with different wall-thickness as well. An equal force is applied by all around-shoes which provide a precise axial adjustment.

Internal Line up of pipes in pipeline welding can be done with hydraulic or pneumatic internal pipe clamps. But also compared to pneumatic internal systems the hydraulic drive provides many advantages. The feet have not to be adjusted to each ID and the HPC has a bigger range of clamping than pneumatic systems. No high pressure compressor or air tank is necessary on-site and maintenance of the system is reduced, which is mainly caused by humid compressed air.
