Orbital Cutting on Tubes

Couper.JPG

Tube cutting is a necessary machining operation for the prefabrication, construction, maintenance, repair or removal of damaged parts, caused by corrosion, for example.

Tubular components are affected by channeled substances that affect the original condition of the tube. Oil, gas or water at high-pressures are abrasive and can alter the corrosion of the tube either chemically and/or mechanically.

When the replacement of the tube is absolutely necessary, the cut is made in upstream and downstream sections of the damaged tube. This maintenance operation can be done on-site and requires the best equipment for a perfect surface quality before performing welding operations.
