Plastic tubing cutters, which resemble a pair of pruning shears, may be used for thinner pipes and tubes, such as sprinkler pipe. For use on thicker pipes, there is a pipecutter with a sharp wheel and adjustable jaw grips. These are used by rotating it around the pipe and repeatedly tightening it until it cuts all of the way through. [1]
Arc-based cutting methods are used for cutting these materials. Among these, plasma arc cutting is the most commonly employed technique, owing to its precision and ability to cut through high-alloy steels efficiently. [1] Thermal cutting creates a shallow region contaminated material adjacent to the cut surfaces - the heat affected zone. For ...
Ridgid tools are targeted at the plumbing, pipe fitting, construction, and HVAC trades. The brand is best known for its distinctive red pipe wrenches, [2] [3] but the company manufactures over 300 different types of tools. [1] The company also sells power tools, largely made by TTI, and wet/dry vacs, made by parent company Emerson. [4]
Used in the processing of tube, pipe or any form of long section. The plasma cutting head usually remains stationary whilst the workpiece is fed through, and rotated around its longitudinal axis. [citation needed] There are some configurations where, as with 3-dimensional plasma cutting, the cutting head can tilt and rotate. This allows angled ...
Plastic extruder cut in half to show the components At the front of the barrel, the molten plastic leaves the screw and travels through a screen pack to remove any contaminants in the melt. The screens are reinforced by a breaker plate (a thick metal puck with many holes drilled through it) since the pressure at this point can exceed 34 MPa ...
Tube tools are tools used to service any tubing (material) in industrial applications including, but not limited to: HVAC or industrial heating and air (hospitals and universities, for example), OEM's(Original equipment manufacturer), defense contractors, the automotive industry, process industries, aluminum smelting facilities, food and sugar production plants, oil refineries, and power plants.
It is the preferred method when the materials being cut are sensitive to the high temperatures generated by other methods; examples of such materials include plastic and aluminium. Waterjet cutting is used in various industries, including mining and aerospace , for cutting, shaping, and reaming .
The typical machine is loaded with a continuous flat roll of plastic film, which has usually had labeling and artwork applied. Plastic is the most commonly used packaging material in the food industry, but the technology can be used to form continuous metallized foil/film, paper, and fabric product containers by changing the edge sealing/seaming methods.
