Orbital Pipe Welding Scheme
Orbital Pipe Welding Scheme
(OP)
Have been out of the fabrication game for some time but getting back into it. I am seeking advice on the following brief for orbital pipe welding:
MOC: CS, low alloy, SS, including duplex.
Size: Sch.40~160, Ø8~16"
Position: 5G and 2G
Quantity: 100/month (guesstimate)
Code: B31.x, ASME VIII
Inspection: 100% X-ray
Looking at both machine and automatic options (as defined by ASME IX). Must have reasonable productivity and simplicity; i.e., reasonably easy to learn and not too fussy. Weld preparation requirements should not be onerous - simple preps.
Within the above parameters, I am seeking process and equipment recommendations.
Thanks in advance
