Orbital Welding Stainless Steel Pipe

Orbital welding equipment to weld regular and multilayer high chromium steel for power generation boilers stainless steel for nuclear power generation equipment inconel alloy and other high alloy steels and thick wall stationary pipes.

Orbital welding stainless steel pipe.

The range covers diameters from 1 6 to 170 mm. The combination of orbital and welding refers to a process by which the welding arc travels circumferentially orbiting around a stationary workpiece typically a stainless steel tube or pipe. The weld quality depends upon having a reasonably clean source of argon for backing and shielding gas. Typically only 316l stainless steel tubing not pipe and fittings are used for automatic orbital gta welding and are obtained from a number of specialty manufacturers.

Stainless steel is the best material considering life cycle cost sanitation and physical properties such as strength for the water system operator. They exhibit the excellence that german machines are famed for including high precision robust designs powerful drives and ease of operation. Each unit has 7 6 pipe welds 25 4 pipe welds and 19 3 pipe welds. With various wall thicknesses but mostly between 0 2 and 3 2 mm for several reasons it may be necessary to apply filler metal in orbital welding procedures.

Now offering a full range of machines from pipe and tube cutters to weld preparation tools to orbital welding equipment all orbitalum products are engineered and built to the most rigorous standards under iso 9001 2008. The widespread use of autogenous fusion orbital gas tungsten arc welding gtaw in the high purity semiconductor and biopharmaceutical industries combined with modern steel refining technology has made it both desirable and practical to supply type 316l stainless steel with a restricted range of elemental sulfur. The term orbital is based on the latin word orbis which means to circle. The pipe is sch 10 316 stainless steel.

The job that has prompted this inquiry has the potential for 2 units a month for the foreseeable future. Successful orbital welding is also dependent upon using high quality tubing material.
