Nondestructive pipe extraction tool?
Nondestructive pipe extraction tool?
(OP)
I have an application where a pipe has a component threaded onto the OD of the pipe. The ID of the pipe is available but the rest of the stationary pipe is not exposed. This pipe is similar to a 2" sch 80 steel pipe. The inside of the pipe is slightly rough, but I cannot allow it to be distorted or damaged.
I would like to find a tool that fits inside the open end of the pipe and uses friction to grab the pipe and allow us to untorque the component threaded on the outside.
If such a tool exists I would greatly appreciate pointers on the name of the tool or who supplies such an item.
Thanks,
David

Funny how you can search on *nearly* the exact same search words and never come across a single useful hit. There's just that much stuff out there.
