4 aspects to consider before switching to orbital welding
Butt welding: how to prepare thin wall tubing before welding?

As an expert in the global tube working process (tube cutting, facing or beveling and orbital welding), we highly recommend you to pay attention to the following 3 steps when it comes to butt welding. It will help you to best prepare your tubes before welding !

How can a perfect tube preparation before welding help to make savings?
All you have to know about machines for working with stainless steel

Every country has its own designations for steels. The European standard EN10027 classifies four different categories of steels:

Orbital cutting: the choice of concentric clamping of the tube

In the food processing or pharmaceutical industry the use of < 3 mm wall stainless steel tube has an essential aspect: the orbital cutting. In order to do this, you have to take into account the relative fragility of these thin tube which need a meticulous care, for stability and fixation when you clamp them.

Orbital welding: the importance of mastering all the stages in the process

Any good welder knows that 80% of welding is preparation! Good preparation makes all the difference between a good weld and a bad one. Good preparation means giving careful attention to each step. How precisely the tubes and chamfers are cut and their positioning depends on the quality of the welding and the respect given to applicable standards.
