A pneumatic saw and universal pipe trolley kit that eliminates the need for heavy, clamshell saws for cutting all types of alloys and concrete lined pipe are available from Esco Tool (Holliston, MA).
The Esco APS-438 Air-Powered Saw and WrapTrack® let users cut 6 in to 60 in OD pipe accurately without a HAZ (heat affected zone) and are designed for use on stainless steels, inconel, and ash- and concrete-lined pipe. Capable of cutting a 10 in Sch. 160 pipe in less than 10 minutes, the saw features fiberglass reinforced blades and mounts rigidly using four V-grooved steel wheels.
Attaching to the pipe's circumference, the WrapTrack incorporates steel bands that correspond to the outside diameter and permit the APS-438 Air-Powered Saw to glide smoothly around it to make cuts with ±1/8 in accuracy. Easy to set up, this pneumatic saw and track system is suitable for pipeline construction, maintenance and related applications.
