Pipe Cold Cutting / Beveling

Pipe cold cutting and beveling are precision machining processes used to cut and prepare pipes for welding or replacement without generating heat, sparks, or distortion—making them ideal for hazardous and explosive environments such as refineries, petrochemical plants, and offshore facilities.

Metalok Industries provides on-site cold cutting and beveling services using portable, split-frame (clamshell) machines capable of handling pipe diameters from ½ inch to over 60 inches. Our services ensure precise, burr-free cuts and accurate bevel angles, minimizing weld defects and ensuring perfect fit-up for installation or repair.

All operations are performed by certified technicians following ASME, API, and ANSI standards, ensuring dimensional accuracy, safety, and efficiency. Metalok’s cold cutting solutions eliminate the risks associated with hot work, providing a safe, spark-free, and high-precision alternative for plant shutdowns, tie-ins, and maintenance operations.

Inspect and measure pipe dimensions, wall thickness, and material grade.
Select appropriate cutting and beveling machine based on pipe size and schedule.
Mount and align split-frame cold cutting equipment around the pipe.
Perform cutting and beveling simultaneously for time efficiency.
Maintain precise cutting speed and feed rate for clean, accurate edges.
Achieve custom bevel profiles (V, J, compound, or counterbore) as per WPS requirements.
Ensure no heat-affected zone (HAZ) or material distortion during operation.
Deburr and clean the cut edges to prepare for welding or fit-up.
Conduct dimensional and surface inspection after completion.
Document operation parameters, tool calibration, and technician certification.
