Pipe Cutting
Pipe cutting or pipe profiling is a mechanized industrial process that removes material from pipe or tubing to create a desired profile. Typical profiles include straight cuts, mitres, saddles and midsection holes. These complex cuts are usually required to allow a tight fit between two parts that are to be joined via arc welding. Pipe cutting is used in industries such as offshore operations, pipe processing, shipbuilding and pressure vessel manufacture. This technology is valued for its ability to produce the intricate cuts and profiles often required in these fields. Common applications include pipework, offshore jackets, steel frameworks, cranes, and demolition of structures offshore.
