STATS provide high quality solutions to ensure that the pipework and pipeline infrastructure of our clients meet the technical, safety and environmental standards required.
In hazardous environments where the potential for fire or explosion exists or when greater precision is desired, STATS Cold
Cutting & beveling service replaces traditional methods such as torches, reed cutters, and grinders. Fully preparing the pipe end for welding with greater accuracy and a higher level of safety, field cuts are performed quickly and effectively often without the requirement for hot work permits.
STATS offer portable clamshell lathes designed for on-site precision severing, severing / beveling, and severing / double beveling.
The aluminum frame is a split ring assembly capable of being disassembled to be installed around in-line piping. The frame has bearing mountings for the rotating head, a drive motor mount, locator pads for mounting to the pipe, and a gear cover. Our low clearance clamshells are designed to fit into tight working areas as well as minimise machine weight. These clamshells are lightweight, but retain rigidity during operation.
These lathes simultaneously sever and bevel as they cut. Tool bits are automatically fed radially into the work piece with each rotation of the lathe, which assures precise machining. The machines can be fitted with single point beveling tool boxes for heavy wall pipe. The split frame design enables easy setup on in-line piping, elbows, tees, valves, nozzles and flanges.
