Swaging units
Veenstra has built swaging units (tube presses) for a maintenance company in oil and gas pipelines. These swaging units are designed to compress oil and gas pipes in the field. After compression, wire is cut on the pressed part, which again creates a linkable connection on the tubes. The swaging units are supplied with 12 interchangeable pressure casing sets. By exchanging the pressure casings, 12 different tubes, each with a different diameter, can be pressed together. The presses are hydraulically operated by means of an external hydraulic pump. The delivery consisted of the following components:
- 2 pcs of Swaging unit
- 2 pcs of Enerpac hydraulic pump, double acting
- 24 sets of pressure segments (pressure casings), consisting of: 2x set 2.3/8″, 2x set 2.7/8″, 2x set 3.1/2″, 2x set 4″, 2x set 4.1/2″, 2x set 5″, 2x set 5.1/2″, 2x set 7″, 2x set 7.5/8″, 2x set 8″, 2x set 9.5/8″, 2x set 10.3/4″ and 2x set 13.3/8″.
