Description

The External Debeader 1200mm is a high quality tool designed for the removal of external beads formed as a result of the butt fusion welding process, for large HDPE pipe sizes 630-12000mm.

The tool will peel the bead away from the pipe’s surface whether it’s hot or cold, leaving a flush finish and enabling the pipe to be smoothly slip-lined into a larger diameter pipe, as well as a closer inspection of the weld to detect potential defects.

 

Features

  • Pipe range 630-1200mm Ø
  • Bead width up to 60mm (80mm and 100mm available on request)
  • Simple and easy to use
  • Adjustable guides for correct pipe diameter
  • Replaceable blade
  • Comes in a sturdy carry case
  • Accessories including a hammer and a tool

During a Butt Fusion weld, a bead is formed both internally and externally as part of the weld process. The welded joint does not rely on these beads for strength, so often the beads are removed for some of the following reasons

  • Closer inspection of the weld to expose/detect potential defects.
  • Depending on the welding standard in use, some standards (such as the UK WIS spec) mandate that the bead is removed and the twist back test is performed as a form of non-destructive test.
  • Request by the client (internal or external depending on the pipe application)
    • Sliplining down an existing tight fitting pipe
    • Sewerage (clear internal bore with no obstruction is preferred)
    • Cable duct (again clear internal bore with no protrusion is preferred)
