Pipes must be cut on site as infrequently as possible by using disc-type cutter. Such operations, which require particular care, must be carried out without fail in a plane perpendicular to the pipe axis.

After cutting the pipe, it is necessary:

  • To restore the chamfer at the spigot end of the cut faces of pipe.
  • To execute the weld on site (if locked joint).
  • To repair the pipe coating and cement lining if damaged.

Chamfer Restoration

  • After cutting, complete deburring is recommended. It is essential to restore the chamfer on the cut faces of Standard pipes so as to facilitate the assembly of the push-on joint and to prevent any damage to the elastomer (rubber) gasket, which can result in a leaking joint. The geometry of this chamfer must be in accordance with the dimensions below.

Execution of the Weld Bead (For making restrained joints)

Equipment necessary

  • Electric welding set of 130 A minimum with welders accessories (mask gloves, wire brush, scaling hammer, etc.) "Nickel-iron electrode (approx. 55% nickel).
  • supplied by SADIP on Request
  • - One copper guide ring per DN.
  • Electric pnuematic grinding machine with accessories.

Using copper ring, mark the position of the weld bead on the end of the barrel. Carefully grind an area at least 25 min wide at the point where the weld bead will be deposited.
