Efficient On-Site Pipe Preparation with MT ODM Series OD Pipe Cutting and Beveling Machine

Efficient On-Site Pipe Preparation with MT ODM Series OD Pipe Cutting and Beveling Machine

In the image above, MT Portable Machine’s on-site service team is shown completing a recent on-site pipe machining operation for a major Sinopec facility. The project involved precision cutting and beveling of process pipelines scheduled for welding. As a key phase in pipeline construction and maintenance, the pre-weld preparation required not only dimensional accuracy but also consistency to support effective preheating and subsequent welding processes.

To accomplish the task, MT deployed its ODM Series OD-mounted pipe cutting and beveling machine. Specifically designed for heavy-duty on-site applications, the ODM series offers a robust split-frame structure that clamps securely around the outside diameter (OD) of the pipe. This design allows for rapid installation without the need to disassemble the pipeline or lift long pipe sections. The machines support simultaneous cutting and beveling operations, producing clean, uniform bevel profiles such as straight bevels, compound bevels, and J-preps—all essential for high-quality weld joints.

The ODM series is equipped with multiple drive options (pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic) to suit various site conditions. Its rigid gear-driven feed system and adjustable tool holders ensure smooth cutting action, even on thick-walled carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy pipes. The equipment performs with precision in harsh environments and is engineered to maintain concentricity and perpendicularity during operation—critical factors for weld integrity in petrochemical and energy infrastructure.

MT Portable Machine has tested the ODM series in numerous industrial environments, including oil & gas, power plants, chemical refineries, and offshore platforms. These real-world applications are the foundation of continuous improvement in our equipment design and service approach. Each success builds our understanding of field conditions and allows us to deliver more efficient, reliable, and user-friendly solutions.
