Abstract: The present invention discloses an automatic grinding device for weld beading on the inner wall of a pipeline with a large length to diameter ratio. The automatic grinding device includes a supporting module, and a walking module, a working module and a control module which are arranged on the supporting module, where the walking module is used for moving the supporting module to the butt welding position of the pipeline; the working module is used for grinding the weld beading; and the control module is used for controlling the actions of the walking module and the working module. When the pipeline rotates along the axial direction, the position of the grinding device can remain at the bottom of the pipeline, rather than rotating together with the pipeline, and the elimination of weld beading on the whole circumference at the butt welding position of the pipeline is realized.

Abstract: A pipe punch apparatus which generally comprises a punch housing, a punch means situated within the punch housing, and a collar. The punch housing is connected to a bi-directional hydraulic fluid pump means. Depending on which direction the pump is set, the pump releases fluid into the punch housing which causes the punch means to either extend from the punch housing or retract into the punch housing. The collar is connected to the punch housing by a connecting means so that a notch within the collar receives the punch means when the punch means is in the extended position. The parts are also relatively situated so that positioning the punch housing within a pipe will cause the collar to be located exterior to the pipe. Thus, as the punch means moves from its initial retracted position to its extended position, it will also punch a hole through the pipe.

Abstract: Method for longitudinal cutting of a wall of a fibrous tubular product in a step shaped profile. The apparatus comprises two parallel main blades which form radial cuts into the wall, slightly displaced from each other. One cut is made radially inward from the outer surface; and the other cut is made radially outward from the inner surface. Each cut extends toward the center of the shell wall to a depth approximately one half the thickness of the shell wall. A third cut is made within the shell wall perpendicular to and joining the other two cuts. These three cuts form a smooth step shaped cut through the wall and facilitate installation of the shell around conduit while minimizing heat loss and mechanical stresses within the wall.

Abstract: A device and method for severing the piles, grout and structural sleeves of vertical marine structures, from the inside of the structural member or the outside of the structural member. The device will sever the pile, grout or sleeve without jamming even though the weight of the marine structure is bearing down on the pile, grout or sleeve. The device is first lowered into the pile at the desired elevation and further locked onto the wall of the pile. Once the device is locked onto the pile, the cutter is lowered and proceeds to cut into the pile, grout and sleeve. When a sufficient section of the pile, grout or sleeve has been cut, spacers with barbs are forced into the slot formed by the cutter blade and are held in place by the barbs. After the spacers are in place, the remainder of the pile is severed with the cutter blade and a continuity check is made of the pile.
