Why pipe cold cutting ?

First of all, pipe cold cutting is important to avoid the heat affected zone and improve the properties of the pipe material. In addition, the process pipe cold cutting is safer than the hot cutting method and is guaranteed to create a bevel or cut end ready for welding for cost-effective operation.

What is a Heat Affected Zone?

In the heat-affected zone (HAZ), a structural change occurs during production without the material melting. This can lead to undesirable changes in the material properties or even to deformation and cracks due to thermal expansion. Especially in processes with high energy requirements, the heat propagation in the material is clearly visible in the color of the tarnish.

How does a cold cutting machine work ?

Piece by piece, the tool slowly cuts its way through the pipe. It is driven either by compressed air or hydraulics. The process is somewhat reminiscent of a lathe. Only in contrast, it is not the workpiece that rotates, but the machine including the tool – on the pipe. The machine is designed to cut through wall thicknesses of up to 80mm.
