The pipe shop contains various machinery to cut, bend, bevel, and thread pipes. This includes a band saw to cut pipes from 15NB to 200NB, a bending machine for pipes from 15NB to 40NB, and 6 bevelling machines for edge preparation of pipes from 40NB to 150NB. Pipes are cut and fabricated into spools according to design drawings, then bent, edge prepped, tack welded, and tested before being sent for treatment and installation. The band saw uses water and chemicals for cooling when cutting pipes up to 250NB in diameter.

A ship's machinery space contains hundreds of metres of piping and fittings.
The various systems are arranged to carry many different liquids at various temperatures and pressures. The influences of operational and safety requirements, as well as legislation, result in somewhat complicated arrangements of what are a few basic fittings. Valves, strainers, branch pipes, etc., are examples of fittings which are found in a pipe system. Spooling Piping account up to 23% of cost of material and is therefore a major component. Pipes and all elbow joints are purchased form external vendors based on requirements. Cu-Ni and other steel pipes are stored separately to avoid chemical reactions. Piping account up to 23% of cost of material and is therefore a major component. Pipes and all elbow joints are purchased form external vendors based on requirements. Cu-Ni and other steel pipes are stored separately to avoid chemical reactions. Referring to the design drawings, pipes (called spools) are cut into the required sizes. A band saw machine is used to cut these spools. A coolant continuously flows on the spool at the location it is being cut to prevent heating during the cutting process. A plasma cutting machine is also available for cutting the spools. Spools are bent based on requirement. The bending is done by a machine while the angle of bend required is set by an operator manually. Edge preparation is then done i.e. a bevel cut is given at the end of the pipe wherever required. These pipes are initially tack welded to keep them aligned and intact before final welding is done. Pipe coupling is done with a flange or a sleeve in general. After the spools have been fabricated, and flanges welded, radiography test is done to check for weld defects. Visual test is also done by the quality control team and small lengths are subjected to hydro pressure test with the test pressure being 1.5 times the operation pressure. Upon completion of all these tests, the pipes are sent for treatment like galvanization outside the shipyard. After treatment, the pipes are sent to the palletisation yard where they are stored. These pipes are then installed during the pre-outfitting stage and later stages of production.
Band saw machine
To cut pipes of small diameter. Up to 250 NB for mild steel Uses water and chemical as cooling material. Shared-B water The blade material used is ASTM A106. Pipe bending machine 65 CNC3X - can be used be up to 180 degrees. Plasma cutting Pipes of diameter larger than 250 NB(nominal bore) of mild steel are cut here. Pneumatic controlled rollers are used to roll the pipe as it gets cut.
