Weld Removal Tools
Removing Welds on Tubes
One of the hardest jobs in tube removal can be weld removal using weld removal tools. Many times tube sheets have been compromised by personnel using cutting torches trying to cut out the weld and they cut into the sheet. This then has to be repaired to documented standards within the realm of ASME.
If the tube is flared or beaded the end of the tube will need to be removed before being pulled. Using a grinder is one method but has many challenges for the operator.

The design is a right-angled I.D. clamping mill, which covers tubes from 28mm to 76mm I.D. The FM-3000 is the most popular and powerful machine. Used during maintenance and new boiler manufacturing. Quickly interchangeable locking jaws to suit a wide range of sizes. manufactured with the operator in mind with its modular and ergonomic design.
