6 Main Tools Used for Pipe Fabrication & Welding

The process of pipe fabrication and welding requires the technician to utilize not only his tools but also his personal skill set. The work achieved with the help of these tools is a direct outcome of the technician’s expertise and understanding of the tools. On the other hand, the technician will be unable to provide brilliant results without being afforded proper tools. Hence, in order to utilize your skills in their entirety, it is important to be armed with the right tools.

6 Main Tools Needed for Pipe Fabrication & Welding

Below are the six tools that are needed to ensure the perfect outcome. These tools will help guide you to providing outstanding results. Technical know-how of their operation and maintenance will allow you to utilize them properly while increasing their life span.

1.      Pipe Threading Machine

2.      Roll Groover

3.      Hole Cutting Machine

4.      Pipe Vise

5.      Arc Welder

6.      Oxy Welder

These tools help make the job of the pipe fabricator much easier. These tools help in reduction of cost as well. The level of finesse achieved by using these tools is incomparable. Depending on the job, you should opt for the tools that help you maximize efficiency.

Importance of Measurement in Pipe Fabrication

In the process of pipe fabrication, measurement is the most important step. It has to be done precisely using the right tools. There is absolutely no scope for guesswork. For accurate results and a professional job, it is important to measure the angles, cuts, offsets, and other intricacies of measurement for fabrication. It is important to familiarize yourself with the terminology and techniques used during fabrication. This will help you in making the most out of your instruments and increasing your efficiency.

The 4 Features of a Pipe Bender Every Pipe Fabricator Should Know

Among other tools used during pipe fabrication, the pipe bender is extremely important. Here are four features of a pipe bender that help you with precise measurement:

·         Rim Notch

It is used when making saddle bends. It helps in measuring and finding the middle of the bend.

·         Arrow

Stubs of saddle bends utilize this feature. It is used to measure the offsets, and helps in measuring the outer bend.

·         Degree Scale

It is used to measure the angle of the bend. It is usually used for saddle bends. It can also be used to measure offsets.

·         Star Point

It is used for back bends. It helps in pointing out the location of the back of a 90º bend.

Making use of the above-mentioned equipment is essential to properly fabricate metal pipes and other metal products with optimum accuracy. Since the bends on pipes need to be accurate to fit in an application, measurement is especially important when bending pipes. Make sure that the pipe fabricator you use can perform the job with ease. Accuracy is of the utmost importance. Hence, whether you’re fabricating the pipe, or outsourcing the job to someone else, ensure that the different types of measurement are taken prior to fabrication. This will help you in proper integration of the pipe in the application.

Major Differences between Aluminum & Steel Welding

Steel and aluminum are used in most fabrication shops. It is important to know the differences between the metals and their properties. This will help you weld and fabricate both materials better. Below listed are some of the major differences between aluminum and steel welding :

When steel is being welded, it changes color. This helps the welder keep track of the work done. Aluminum doesn’t really change color by a big extent. It is much more difficult for a welder to keep track of the work.

Most aluminum objects are coated with a thin layer of aluminum oxide. This layer needs to be removed before the welding process begins.

If aluminum was stored in a cool place before welding, its temperature needs to be increased albeit slowly.

Aluminum doesn’t require any treatment post welding. Neither do most steels. On the other hand, some high carbon steels require heat treatment after welding.

Despite all the differences, the edges of both aluminum and steel that need to be welded should be cleaned thoroughly. The techniques involved in fabricating these materials are different as well. In-depth knowledge of these processes should equip you to weld both materials effectively.

How Jacketed Piping Increases Productivity & Safety in Industries

Jacketed piping is created by attaching a jacket (protective covering) to steel tubes or piping. The result is a tube in tube kind of product. This jacket protects the tubing while assisting in smooth functioning. The materials used for the jacket vary according to the application. Stainless steel tubes with jacketing are needed in the food and beverage industry like dairy, confectionery, and food handling. It is also used in oil, power, petroleum, and other industries. It is used in manufacturing, packaging, assembling, and many other processes.

Need for Protective Jacketing for Steel Tubes

There are several advantages of using jacketed tubing. Some of these are listed below:

It can be cleaned easily.

It does not absorb moisture.

It can endure rough handling.

It provides a hygienic environment.

It ensures safety since they are almost leak proof.

It safeguards the product being transported in the pipe.

It is durable and can withstand the rigors of production.

Materials resistant to chemicals, abrasions, corrosion and many other factors are available for the jacket.

Sometimes the processes or products produce heat, or function at high temperatures. Protective jacketing is able to protect the pipes or tubing from being damaged. Jacketed tubings are capable of functioning under extreme temperatures.

Jacketed piping can easily be attached to walls, floors, and ceilings. If you are thinking of updating your tubing or installing new tubing, jacketed tubing can easily be integrated into existing systems.

Process & Instructions for Pipe Bending

When fabricating pipes and other equipment, pipes or tubes often need to be bent. When bending pipes, the first most important step is to measure the tubes and carefully mark the place where you need to make the bend. This process needs to be performed meticulously. There is absolutely no room for mistakes. The place where you bend the tube or pipe is dependent on the angle at which it is being bent and the length of the tube or pipe.

Several tools like a rim notch, degree scale, and star point are available in the market to help you locate and mark the ideal location to bend the pipe.

Instructions on How to Apply Manual Pressure

When bending a tube placed on the floor, ensure that you place your foot on the pipe and apply heavy pressure.

When bending a tube suspended in air, exert pressure by holding the pipe or tube close to your body.

If after bending the tube, you think that it has been over bent, there is no need to panic. Most pipe bending machines are equipped with an expanded end for this very purpose. You can use either the expanded end or a back pusher to unbend the tube to the desired angle.

Many professional companies provide the service of pipe bending. You can outsource your pipe bending requirements to them, for a refined finish.
