Cutting of pipe products
Cutting of tubular steel products is the process of dividing metal pipes of various diameters and thicknesses into specified lengths for further use in industrial, construction, and other applications. Tubular products include round pipes as well as shaped profiles such as square, rectangular, oval, and other forms. Cutting pipes is essential for preparing components for assembly, welding, construction, and equipment manufacturing.
Different cutting methods are used depending on the material, wall thickness, and precision requirements:
- Mechanical cutting — bandsaws and circular saws provide clean, straight cuts,
- Thermal cutting — plasma, oxy-fuel, or laser cutting is suitable for thick-walled pipes and complex profiles,
- Waterjet cutting — used for high precision and for pipes with delicate coatings.
Key advantages of tubular cutting include high processing speed, ability to handle pipes of various diameters and shapes, and precise cutting that reduces waste and simplifies further processing.
This type of cutting is widely used in industries such as oil and gas, machinery manufacturing, construction, metal structures production, as well as in the manufacture of furniture and architectural elements. Quality pipe cutting ensures reliability and durability of the finished products.
