Model 81 - Small-Diameter Pipe Weld Head - 1

The widest range of orbital welding equipment in the world The Model 81 is a full function orbital pipe weld head featuring programmable Arc Voltage Control, Torch Oscillation, onboard Wire Feeder and Travel in a very compact package. The Model 81 in its standard configuration will weld pipe from 1.9" (48 mm) OD to 5.563" (142 mm) OD with as little as 1.750" (45 mm) radial clearance and 6.325" (161 mm) axial clearance. The Model 81 is used in a wide variety of applications that require high quality welding results in applications with limited axial and radial clearances. Common uses for the Model 81 include shipbuilding and high-pressure steam piping in fossil fuel power plants and many other applications.
