Piping Tools & Accessories

The Chain Clamp is designed and manufactured with welders in mind. When a high quality weld through precise alignment is needed, this adjustable pipe clamp is perfect. Offering excellent versatility with options for pipe-to-pipe fit-up and alignment from 4” to 72”, the Chain Clamp is more or less a one-size-fits-all line up clamp.

This alignment clamp packs a serious punch with the ability to reform pipe up to Schedule 40 and to align pipe up to Schedule 80, yet its lightweight construction also makes it an easy-to-use and easy-to-transport external line up clamp. The Sawyer Chain Clamp can even be used as a single jackscrew clamp. One Chain Clamp can do the job of many bulky cage clamps, saving time and money when needing an adjustable pipe clamp.

When more muscle is needed, the Double Chain Clamp is designed for aligning and reforming pipes and vessels as large as 6 meters (20’) in diameter and up to Schedule 80. If no reforming is required, then the clamps can be used to align pipes over Schedule 80. Specialized heavy duty jack bars and main blocks can deal with even the most difficult of reforming jobs.  Clamps can be supplied with an optional level and support device or a pull lift (come along) for larger pipes if required, and each one is supplied with a torque wrench as a standard feature. This is set to ensure the correct pressure (150 mm) is applied to the chain, unlike hydraulic systems that risk stretching the chain and/or applying too much pressure to the pipe, risking the integrity of the clamp.

The adaptable jackscrews permit proper alignment of tees, elbows, or flanges, and they can be welded without removing the alignment clamp. Sawyer Chain Clamps and Double Chain Clamps sold in international markets offer color-coded steel and stainless steel options, allowing quick recognition when setting up this pipeline welding clamp in the field.

Inflatable Pipe Stoppers are supplied as standard with no through tube. Through tubes can be supplied when the stoppers are required for weld purging applications.

When deflated, the inflatable stoppers can be inserted and withdrawn with ease.

Each inflatable stopper comes with an inflation hose fitted with a schrader valve enabling inflation with a standard airline, bicycle or foot pump.

Small, Medium and Large diameter Pipe end bevelling machines, designed to suit the arduous conditions of todays job sites.

We deal with a large range of i/d locking portable pipe beveling machines ranging from ½” i/d to 20” i/d. The beveling machines are capable of producing all of the standard weld preparations required,i.e V-preps, J-preps and borematches on mild steel, stainless steel, duplex, superduplex and inconel wrapped pipes.

All of the machines in the range are torque reactive, enabling the operator to work on pipe without needing to secure it in a vice, this feature makes this range of machines ideal for on-site or workshop environments.

FLANGE ISOLATING GASKET KITS

Flanges, the most common trouble area, need to be sealed properly to prevent leakage and must also be cathodically isolated to prevent stray currents which cause undo corrosion and eventual breakdown of the metal. Advance Products & Systems manufactures and maintains a supply of quality products and materials which help solve most flange sealing problems, therefore preventing subsequent corrosion and saving the integrity of the pipeline.

Advance Flange Isolation Gasket Kits are manufactured according to ANSI B16.5 specifications up to 24". Above 24", please provide the specifications of your flange using our convenient worksheet. Technical assistance is available upon request.

TYPE D
Type D gaskets are specifically designed to fit into the ring groove of ring-type-joint flanges. They are manufactured of a medium weave, fabric-reinforced phenolic material and are sized to ANSI specifications available in basic oval as well as octagonal shape. Also available are BX gaskets with pressure ratings to 15,000 PSI.

TYPE E
Type E is a full-faced gasket with the same outside diameter as the flange and precision cut bolt holes. This design facilitates proper alignment of the gasket during installation and foreign material prevented from shorting the flange isolation. Type E gaskets are available in plain face or Nitrile faced phenolic, as well as a variety of high temperature materials. Standard thickness of 1/8".

TYPE F
Type F gaskets are made to fit the raised face portion of the flange only. As there are no bolt holes in the F gasket, the inside diameter of the bolt hole circle is slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the gasket, assuring an exact, automatic positioning of the gasket. Type F gaskets are available in the same materials as the type E gasket. Standard thickness of 1/8".

Voltacept™ Trojan
Voltacept™ Trojan G-10 cathodic water meter isolating gaskets are NSF-61 approved and state of the art in near zero leakage static sealing for use in preventing galvanic reaction from the use of dissimilar metals on water piping such as steel or cast iron to brass. The elastomer sealing element is encapsulated in the electrically isolating retainer. The encapsulation of the sealing element permits only microexposure of the seal to potable water flow. G-10 Gasket Kits are designed to keep any and all electrical currents from running back to the water meter.
