Watch the compact ISE-T Series access tight spaces for internal pipe beveling
Overview
The ISE T-Model Series represents our core lineup of ID-mounted (internal expansion) pipe beveling machines. Designed for precision weld preparation on small to medium diameter pipes, these portable units deliver consistent bevel quality across boiler manufacturing, heat exchanger fabrication, and pressure vessel construction.
Key Advantages
- Self-centering expansion - Automatically aligns to pipe center, no manual adjustment needed
- Compact T-configuration - Vertical motor design for tight spaces and row tube applications
- Cold cutting process - No heat-affected zone, safe for sensitive environments
- Interchangeable drives - Same clamping unit works with electric, pneumatic, or Metabo motors
Which Model Should You Choose?
For boiler tubes and instrument tubing (18-80mm ID):
The ISE-T-30 and ISE-T-80 are our go-to models for boiler manufacturers. Lightweight enough for extended overhead work, yet powerful enough for production runs. Most boiler shops keep both sizes on hand.
For heat exchangers and process piping (40-160mm ID):
Choose the ISE-T-120 or ISE-T-159. These mid-range models handle the sweet spot of industrial piping work. If you’re uncertain between sizes, the T-159 offers more flexibility with minimal weight penalty.
For pressure vessel nozzles and headers (80-350mm ID):
The ISE-T-252 and ISE-T-352 bridge the gap between tube work and large pipe applications. Perfect for pressure vessel fabricators who need precision on nozzle preparations.
For large drums and main headers (250-830mm ID):
Our ISE-T-426, T-630, and T-850 models serve heavy industrial applications. The T-630 is particularly popular among power plant contractors for its broad coverage of common header sizes.
