Dependable High-Performance Pipeline Equipment Solutions Tri Tool's pipeline equipment is establishing new standards for portable pipe facing machines in terms of both speed and precision results.

PFM 614

Above: The powerful PFM 614 is the strongest pipe facing machine for small range pipe available in the industry.

Global trends in petroleum demand have extended exploration regions creating a critical demand for pipeline equipment to support operations at deeper depths. Difficult offshore projects require extensive levels of customer coengineering and logistics support to ensure that machines in mission-critical roles receive the parts and specialized accessories needed to perform reliably and efficiently in the worlds harshest working environments. Tri Tools pipeline equipment is redefining the performance and precision standards for offshore and deep-water pipeline equipment. With the successful release of their new line of heavy-duty pipeline equipment, Tri Tool engineers, working in close cooperation with leading offshore pipeline contractors, were challenged to produce a wide range of pipeline equipment with superior performance levels.
Left: The PFM Series continues the legacy of reliability and precision of our BEVELMASTER Series ID Mount tools.

The new PIPEMASTER Series was the result. Additional solutions are being developed such as special machinery for weld reinforcement, weld profiling, high-speed pipe severing, pipe alignment, and high-speed counter-boring. Tri Tool Inc. is keenly aware that their customers rely on their ongoing engineering research and quality manufacturing to consistently produce the best tools available. Thousands of satisfied customers throughout the world attest to the accomplishment of that goal. Tri Tool looks to the future with an unwavering dedication to designing innovative, quality products, backed by the highest level of customer support in the industry.

ILUC - Internal Line-Up Clamps

Internal Line Up Clamps

ILUC 810

ILUC 1012

Internal alignment clamps are available in many configurations and sizes to fit your application such as the ILUC 810 (top) and the ILUC 1012 (bottom).

The ILUC clamp series was developed to provide internal line up for welding of small-bore piping systems. This modular system allows for many different configurations to fit a wide variety of applications. Available options include copper backing for root pass integrity, purge dams for TIG welding, and a pneumatic drive system for horizontal operations. For vertical use, an emergency brake system is actuated on loss of pneumatic pressure or electrical current preventing the clamp from dropping into the pipeline. Rapid and dependable weld alignment of pipeline sections. Fifteen model sizes for pipe from 6 (168mm) to 60 (1524mm). Pipe rounding capabilities are available as an option on internal clamp sizes 18 (457mm) and above.

Above: The ILUC 810 is fitted with copper shoes that extend and conform to the ID of the pipe, providing support for the weld root pass. The ILUC is fitted with Purge Dams to create an Oxygen-free weld backing chamber deep within the pipe. Below: The impressive ILUC 3436 pipe clamp for large diameter pipe is a unique design that provides pipe alignment, weld backing and pipe rounding simultaneously.

Tri Tool Engineering can modify standard machines or design and manufacture completely custom equipment for your most demanding pipeline applications...
Tri Tools special engineering team can develop and manufacture custom equipment based on proven designs, to meet virtually any project requirement or specific work situation. Our engineering department has a quarter century of experience in providing machine tool solutions to satisfy the most rigorous and demanding specifications. Tri Tools advanced special engineering capabilities were utilized to safely and successfully complete a pipeline maintenance project on the Alaska Pipeline. By modifying Tri Tool splitframe lathes, workers were able to sever out a section of the pipeline that contained a malfunctioning valve, while ensuring that the new valve section could be welded in accurately and with a minimal amount of down time. For any special needs, dont hesitate to call Tri Tool Inc. for experienced technical design assistance for your pipeline machining or welding requirements.

Laser Dimensioning System

Portable Precision Measuring
The Laser Dimensioning System (LDS) offers portable, ultra precision measuring. Using laser sensors, the LDS determines physical displacement without contacting the object. A servo driven rotating platform is securely mounted into the pipe. The control unit determines reference points around the circumference and reports the dimensions graphically or by spreadsheet. ID, OD, and wall thickness are reliably recorded, enabling pipe to be sorted according to whether specific wall thickness and optimum fit criteria, etc. have been met. Positive pneumatic mounting. Measures full 360 rotation. Simple set-up and operation. Reliable accurate recording.
