PWT WELDING ARC CONTROL FEATURES Thanks to ITW full ownership of the complete supply chain, PWT combined together a unique group of welding wire, welding power sources and motion control specialists to answer to our technical specifications, based on years of experience on automatic pipeline welding across the planet in many various cultures, terrain, weather and other constraint configurations. The resulting welding arc regime is classified as Advanced Pulse, runs lower heat input, is synergic and self-adaptive to overcome simultaneously: Root pass without copper backing Root average travel speed from 110 to 140 cm/min with peaks at 150 cm/min Accepted high-low (or mismatch) of 3+ mm Accepted local gap of 0.5+ mm Root pass deposited thickness is 4.5 to 5 mm in a single layer The same welding algorithm is used for all passes root to cap insuring simplicity, flexibility and effectiveness. PASS NO COPPER with Miller Advanced Pulse (cm/min) NO COPPER with RMD Process (cm/min) COPPER with MIG Process (cm/min) ROOT 120 40 100 HOT 70 60 60 FILL 60 40 40 CAP 50 40 40 Root pass layer thickness 4.5-5 mm To achieve these amazing results, a current shape specific to pipeline automatic welding has been created: it is self-adaptive to smartly control the penetration root preventing both the burn through and lack of penetration. In summary, thanks to true integration of hardware and software from the power source to the welding head controls the new welding process becomes a component of the overall system enabling: Torch Contact Tip to Work Distance and seam tracking Specific synergic pipeline automatic welding current shapes Root pass penetration control through self-adaptive management of the welding current shapes Onboard sensing to insure reliable data logging of all welding and system parameters.

PWT DEDICATED WELDING WIRES One of the most critical components participating to the successful completion of the joint is the welding consumable, the wire itself. Just like the welding arc, the wire has impact on the quality, operability and productivity. Welding arc control algorithms and parameters are optimized to get the most out of those high quality welding wires. Thanks to the ITW group integration, PWT has been able to select and optimize Hobart consumables for automatic welding. Testing and issuing the specification our aims were: - Consistency from batch to batch in terms of quality (mechanical property tests), operability and productivity - Minimize inter-pass grinding - Robust fit for purpose packaging - Using not only standard solid and folded flux core wires but also bespoke seamless metal cored and flux cored wires - Commercial availability in large batch and short delay with actual 3.1b certificates Depliant PWT ok 2015 9.indd 15 23/04/15 18.32
PWT-ICA PNEUMATIC INTERNAL CLAMP The PWT pneumatic Internal line up clamp is designed to ensure a perfect line up of the pipes during the welding of the root pass. The internal arrangement of the mechanic and pneumatic components provides a firm position of each pipe during the alignment of the bevels in order to have the perfect conditions for a reliable root pass welding. According to the diameter, the expander crown has to up 24 pistons, on 48, for the best fit of the internal diameter. The clamps are designed to properly operate on all wall thickness by adding calibrating shims: in this way the clamp can be calibrated within a span of 2 inches. Depliant PWT ok 2015 9.indd 16 23/04/15 18.32
If the choice to use copper shoes internal support is done a patented copper backing system is included: thanks to this technology, remarkable welding speeds are achievable in favor of high production rates. Few and easy modifications can quickly convert the clamps for no copper root pass both by stick rod and automatic welding using RMD with Miller Advanced Pulse process. The PWT Internal pneumatic clamp can be proposed with specific features such as: - Dedicated set up for slopes, particular ground conditions and use with double joint pipes. - High power clamp for heavy wall pipes or out of roundness pipe. It provides 50% more output strength than the standard product with a limited price increase. Depliant PWT ok 2015 9.indd 17 23/04/15 18.33
HBM PIPE FACING MACHINE DHPU DIESEL HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT The PWT Hydraulic Beveling Machine is the right equipment to get a perfect bevel profile on each pipe end to be welded. Simply changing the cutting tool position it is possible to obtain J bevel, V bevel, composite bevel and tapering. The facing operation is made by specific designed cutting tips (carbide inserts) held by tool holders locked to a rotating faceplate; this system allows making chamfers up to 40 mm thickness in less than 1 minute. The PWT HBM has been designed to fit large ranges of pipe diameters by calibration on replacement of the expander. This, joined to a robust construction, high torque due to the double hydraulic motor and minimized vibrations makes it a flexible and reliable equipment for pipeline projects. PWT HBM is fed by a dedicated Diesel Hydraulic Power unit with a power up to 100 HP and a range of operation from -40 C up to +50 C or can be directly coupled to the hydraulic outlet of an excavator boom.

ACCESSORIES WELDING CABINS In order to provide the proper environment for welding, PWT propose two models of welding cabins both equipped with fume extractor, tool holders drawers and 240 V or 110 V power supply with an electric board complete of all the safety features. Light welding cabins are only 450 Kg weight, for 48 (as reference) and are equipped with manual opening specifically sized for the pipe diameter. As an alternative we propose the automatic door opening with an overall weight of 750 Kgs for 48 (as reference). Light cabin An optimized cabin holder allows to transport up to 4 cabins in a 20 feet standard sea container. Depliant PWT ok 2015 9.indd 20 23/04/15 18.33
BANDS Treated special iron coil Toothing on one side Gripping system with compensation spring Fine regulation device thanks to a 1 mm pace thread INDUCTION HEATING The 35 KW Miller ProHeat induction heating is a competitive solution for light wall pipes preheating or for joint temperature control. One or more flexible blankets can be used to optimize heating time on each pipe end. For faster preheating in pipeline projects with high productivity the Pegaso Plus induction heating machine is the best solution. Able of 70 kw power, fully automatic and easy to operate thanks to the remote control the Pegaso Plus has been designed specifically for the pipeline market by AEC Technology, a Company of ITW.
