When cutting straight steel pipe cutting, there are several important precautions that need to be understood and observed to ensure the quality and safety of the cutting. Here are some precautions:
1. Preparation: Before cutting, make sure that the straight steel pipe is fixed to avoid the steel pipe movement during cutting. At the same time, check whether the cutting tool is intact to ensure the smooth progress of the cutting process.
2. Cutting angle: According to the cutting requirements, select the appropriate cutting angle. The correct cut angle can reduce the stress during the cutting process and improve the cutting quality. Regardless of the rotation of straight steel tubes or cutting mouths, it should be kept perpendicular to the surface of the stitched steel pipe. After the cutting is completed, the cutting nozzle should be tilted forward gradually, and the cut line with the cutting point is 70-80 °.
3. Cutting speed: Control the cutting speed within the appropriate range. Excessive or too slow cutting speeds can cause cutting quality decreased or steel pipe rupture.
4. Avoid excessive cutting: During the cutting process, avoid excessive force cutting to avoid damaging the steel pipe or cutting tool. After the straight seam steel pipe is cut off, the oxide slag at the incision is smooth and cleaned up by a knife or a sand wheel. At the same time, the end surface of the straight steel pipe mouth should be perpendicular to the center line of the tube.
5. After cutting: After cutting is completed, make sure to clean the crumbs and check whether the steel pipe is crack or damaged. If necessary, it can be repaired or scrapped.
6. Safety operation: Be sure to pay attention to safety during cutting. Wear proper protective equipment, such as protective glasses, gloves, etc. Ensure that the work area is neat and accidental damage.
Following the above precautions, you will be able to cut stitched steel pipes more safer and more efficiently. If you encounter any problems during the operation, please consult professionals at any time to ensure safety and quality.
