OD426 Pipe Cutting and Beveling Machine 10 to 16 Inch Cold Cutting Clamshell

The OD426 Pipe Cutting and Beveling Machine is designed to deliver precision cold cutting and beveling for pipelines within the 10"–16" OD range. Featuring a durable clamshell construction, it can be mounted directly on operating pipelines, ensuring quick setup and stable machining without creating heat-affected zones.

This model is widely trusted in oil & gas facilities, chemical and petrochemical plants, power generation stations, and shipbuilding projects, where weld accuracy and pipeline integrity are essential. With the flexibility of pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric drive systems, the OD426 adapts to diverse working conditions, whether in field maintenance or workshop fabrication.

By eliminating sparks, heat damage, and material distortion, the OD426 offers a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional flame cutting. Its portable and compact design enables operators to perform accurate cutting and beveling even in confined areas or elevated worksites. Reliable, efficient, and operator-friendly, the OD426 is the ideal choice for pipeline maintenance, shutdowns, and on-site fabrication.

Pipe Beveling Machine in Oil and Gas Industry

In the oil and gas industry, pipeline integrity is critical for safe and continuous operations. A pipe cutting and beveling machine ensures precise cold cutting and accurate bevel preparation for high-pressure pipelines, offshore platforms, and refinery shutdowns. Unlike flame cutting, the cold cutting process eliminates sparks, heat damage, and distortion, making it safe for hazardous environments. Its portable clamshell design allows on-site installation without disassembling the pipeline, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Whether for new pipeline construction, emergency repair, or scheduled shutdown projects, the machine delivers efficiency, reliability, and weld quality that meet strict oilfield standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – OD Pipe Cutting and Beveling Machine

Q1: What are the advantages of using a clamshell pipe cutting and beveling machine?

A: The clamshell design allows the frame to split into two halves, enabling quick installation around in-service pipelines without dismantling. This makes it efficient for field maintenance and shutdown projects.

Q2: Which industries benefit most from pipe cutting and beveling machines?

A: These machines are widely used in oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, shipbuilding, and offshore engineering. They ensure precise weld preparation and maintain pipeline integrity in critical applications.

Q3: How does cold cutting improve safety compared to flame cutting?

A: Cold cutting produces no sparks, heat, or distortion, reducing the risk of fire or explosion in hazardous environments. It also prevents material hardening, ensuring cleaner and safer welds.

Q4: Can one machine handle different pipe diameters and materials?

A: Yes. With interchangeable tool bits and multiple model sizes, the machine can process carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel pipes across a wide range of diameters.
