Pipe splitting apparatus with replaceable blade
Pipe splitting apparatuses and systems including a replaceable blade, and methods therefor, are provided. In various examples, a pipe splitting apparatus includes an outer surface including a recess. A blade including a portion is disposed within the recess. A hardenable material is disposed within the recess. The hardenable material is configured to flow upon application to fill empty space within the recess and at least partially around the portion of the blade disposed within the recess. The hardenable material is further configured to harden after application to secure the portion of the blade within the recess and fix the blade to the pipe splitting apparatus.
Pipe cutting apparatus, kit, and method
An apparatus for cutting pipes internally includes at least one cutting member, at least one drive member, at least one feed member, and at least one clamping member. The at least one cutting member cuts a pipe internally. The at least one drive member rotates the at least one cutting member to cut the pipe internally. The at least one feed member extend the at least one cutting member against the pipe internally and retracts the at least one cutting member from the pipe internally. The at least one clamping member secures the apparatus to the pipe internally.

Pipe cutting apparatus
The present disclosure provides an apparatus for removing material from an internal surface of a pipe. The apparatus comprises a low-power cutting tool for insertion into the pipe and configured to remove material from an internal surface of the pipe. The cutting tool comprises a housing for insertion within the pipe, a cutting head extending from the housing and a cutting tip for machining the internal surface of the pipe in a machining operation when the cutting tool is inserted into the pipe, and one or more actuators for driving the cutting tip. The apparatus further comprises one or more processors, and a computer-readable memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, control the one or more actuators to cause the cutting tip to machine the internal surface of the pipe, such that the cutting tool is maintained in a low-power configuration.
Internal jacket leg cutter and method
An internal caisson/jacket leg cutter and method provides a frame having upper and lower end portions. The upper end portion has rigging that enables the frame to be lifted. Extensible arms are movably supported upon the frame. The arms extend and retract along generally radially extending lines. Extension of the arms enables them to contact the inside surface of a caisson/jacket leg and thus center and anchor the frame within the caisson/jacket leg interior. A cutting mechanism at the lower end portion of the frame includes one or more rotary cutters or milling devices that cut the caisson/jacket leg wall as these cutters traverse an arc shaped path, tracking the caisson/jacket leg wall.

TUBE CUTTING DEVICE HAVING CONICAL FITTING MEMBER TO CUT TUBE OF WASTE STEAM GENERATOR
A tube cutting device for cutting a tube of a waste steam generator including: a body configured to transmit power; a tube-shaped rotary body provided on a side surface of the body and having a horizontal rotary shaft configured to rotate with the power supplied from the body; a plurality of clamps provided along an outer peripheral surface of a first end portion of the rotary body and configured to fix the rotary body to the tube to be cut; a saw provided on a second end portion opposite to the first side end portion of the rotary body and configured to rotate together with the rotary body to cut the tube; and a fitting member configured to be inserted into a hollow portion formed on a center portion of the saw.
Rotary cutting apparatus and rotary cutting method
A rotary cutting apparatus includes a pair of cutting tools each having a cutting blade along a tip end of its outer peripheral portion having a mountain-shaped cross section, and cuts a cylindrical material into pieces with a predetermined width by sandwiching the cylindrical material between the cutting blades so the cutting blades are respectively placed on inner and outer peripheries of the cylindrical material, and relatively rotating and moving the pair of cutting tools along an entire circumference of the cylindrical material. A second imaginary line connecting an axial center of the cylindrical material and an axial center of the inner peripheral-side cutting tool is shifted in a circumferential direction of the cylindrical material about the axial center of the cylindrical material with respect to a first imaginary line connecting the axial center of the cylindrical material and an axial center of the outer peripheral-side cutting tool.
