Groove Rolling

Groove Rolling

For reticulation, we can perform heavy wall large diameter groove rolls on steel pipe. We have trained operators with the experience and knowledge to help with anything reticulation.

When forming a roll groove, a pipe is cold formed to make a circular and extensive groove in the pipe. A groove is created without removing any pipe material on a variety of pipe sizes and wall thicknesses without compromising the performance of the pipe joint or reducing the flow rate.

A gasket wraps around and on top of the pipe ends, the housings wrap around the gasket and sit in the pipe grooves, and the bolts and nuts are tightened with a wrench to hold it all together.

The grooving process is a feasible connection method for industrial pipeline applications as opposed to welding and threading.
