MT Portable Machine recently completed another successful on-site project for a long-term petrochemical client during a scheduled plant maintenance shutdown. The project involved heavy-wall pipelines where precise machining, safety, and efficiency were critical. The client required high-quality cold cutting and accurate petrochemical pipe beveling to prepare weld edges, ensuring compliance with strict welding procedure specifications (WPS) and minimizing downtime.
To meet these requirements, MT deployed its advanced OD-mounted pipe cutting machine equipped with a heavy-wall tool slide and optimized cutting tools. The rigid split-frame clamshell design allowed fast installation directly on existing pipelines, providing stable operation and precise alignment for various pipe diameters. The cold cutting process eliminated sparks, heat-affected zones (HAZ), and metallurgical changes, making it ideal for hazardous petrochemical environments.
The machine performed clean, burr-free cuts and consistent bevel profiles, including standard V-bevels and compound bevels. Its smooth feed and rotation mechanisms ensured repeatable results, high surface finish quality, and efficient material removal. The portable design enabled rapid relocation across the site, allowing multiple pipe sections to be processed efficiently within the tight shutdown schedule.
This repeat project highlights MT Portable Machine’s proven expertise in OD-mounted pipe cutting machines and demonstrates our ability to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions for petrochemical pipe beveling, maintenance, and field fabrication projects. With experienced technicians and advanced equipment, MT ensures safe, precise, and efficient on-site pipe preparation for demanding industrial applications.
