ONSITE SPLIT FRAME PIPE CUTTING MACHINE APPLICATIONS
OD457 Split Frame Pipe Cutting Machine Applications
With a capacity of 300mm to 457mm, the OD457 is widely used in
natural gas transmission, petrochemical complexes, and marine
construction. It offers spark-free cold cutting, essential for
explosive atmospheres and sensitive environments. The machine is
ideal for pipeline integrity programs, plant expansions, and
emergency repairs without system shutdowns. In cryogenic and LNG
applications, it ensures precise beveling for low-temperature
piping. The split-frame design simplifies installation on
large-diameter pipes, even in cramped or elevated locations. It is
also employed in nuclear facilities for coolant line maintenance
and in heavy industries for process piping upgrades. The OD457’s
versatility and reliability make it a preferred choice for critical
welding preparations.
