A nested multi-port pipe preparation device is provided herein. The nested multi-port pipe preparation device is a single tool configured to clean and deburr the ends of two or more differently sized pipes and pipe fittings. The device includes a housing having a plurality of ports. Each port includes a single female pipe-cleaning member, a single male pipe-cleaning member, or a pipe-cleaning member assembly. The pipe-cleaning member assembly includes a male pipe-cleaning member and a female pipe-cleaning member concentrically surrounding the male pipe-cleaning member such that an exterior portion of a pipe and the interior portion of a pipe fitting can be cleaned in the device. The device further includes two or more deburring blades positioned relative to the single female pipe-cleaning member and the pipe-cleaning member assembly for deburring a pipe as the pipe is cleaned.

Systems, methods, and a hole-cleaning apparatus for cleaning machined holes before measurement. The apparatus includes a probe that is inserted into a hole, and a spool support configured to support a spool of a cleaning material. During operation, cleaning material is drawn from the spool downward along the outer surface of the probe, and cleans the machined hole. The cleaning material then passes through an opening at the lower end of the probe, moves upward through an internal passage to an opening in the upper end of the probe, and is collected on a powered take-up reel.

A lubrication device, a lubrication system and a method are for applying a lubricant from a lubricating-fluid reservoir to an internal threaded portion of a pipe body. The lubrication device includes: a rotary device having: first and second coupling parts, and fluid passage for carrying the lubricant from the first coupling part to the second coupling part. The first and the second coupling parts are arranged to rotate relative to each other around an axis that coincides in the main with the longitudinal axis of the pipe body. An applicator body is connected to the second coupling part to allow rotation around the rotational axis of the rotary device. The applicator body has a fluid passage with an outlet for carrying the fluid to the applicator surface as the fluid passage in the applicator body is in fluid communication with a corresponding fluid passage in the rotary device.

A cleaning device is provided. The cleaning device includes a drive rod, at least two cleaning brush heads, and a connection member. The drive rod and the cleaning brush heads are all fixed on the connection member. Fixing points of the cleaning brush heads and the connection member are located at two ends of a mounting point between the drive rod and the connection member.

A washer for a work piece includes a spray nozzle and plunger useful to activate the spray nozzle. The spray nozzle is configured and positioned to remove very small debris and can be positioned within a housing to accommodate different types of work pieces. The plunger can include a recess for receipt and centering of the work piece. A position of the plunger can activate a switch useful to control the introduction of fluid to the spray nozzle. The plunger can be coupled with an elastic device useful to return the plunger to a home position after insertion of the work piece.

A seam ripping assembly for use in preparing a coiled tubing operation in a production well, such as, for example, in the oil and gas industry. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a method and apparatus for seam dressing that can be used to efficiently remove a weld seam along an inner diameter on a section of coiled tubing, thereby allowing a coil connector to then be able to attach to an end of said section of coiled tubing.

An oxy-acetylene cutting torch tip cleaner includes an elongated body portion with at least one actuator and at least one associated housing bore for storing a cleaning pin. Each cleaning pin is coupled to an actuator movable from a first position with the cleaning pin contained in the housing bore to a second position with the cleaning pin extending from the housing bore, for abrading and cleaning the cutting torch tip. Each actuator, coupled to its cleaning pin with a slider, is biased to the first position and a lock engages each actuator in the second position such that when the lock is disengaged from the actuator at the second position with the cleaning tip extended from the body, the actuator automatically returns to the first position thereby retracting the cleaning pin back into the housing bore.

A cleaning tool is disclosed for cleaning an object (e.g., a threaded fastener) and retaining debris from cleaning the object. The cleaning tool can comprise a housing operable to be rotated by hand or by a hand tool, and a cleaning chamber formed through the housing. A plurality of retaining cavities are formed through the housing and in fluid communication with the cleaning chamber, and a plurality of cleaning elements (e.g., shafts having bristles) are supported by respective retaining cavities, such that a portion of the cleaning elements (e.g., wire bristles) extend into the cleaning chamber for cleaning the object upon rotation of the housing relative to the object. Elastic elements can be supported by the housing for biasing the cleaning elements to accommodate cleaning different sizes of objects. Associated systems and methods are provided.

A method for manufacturing boiler tubes includes the steps of removing end caps from a plurality of tubes, the plurality of tubes including at least a first tube and a second tube, cleaning an outer surface of the first tube and the second tube, forming a weld preparation on an upstream end of the first tube, forming a weld preparation on a downstream end of the second tube, welding the upstream end of the first tube to the downstream end of the second tube to form a butt weld, to produce a long tube, and with an automated device, measuring a parameter of at least the first tube and the second tube. The steps of removing the end caps, cleaning the outer surface of the tubes, forming the weld preparations, welding the first tube to the second tube, and measuring the parameter are performed autonomously.

Described is a self-cleaning extrusion orifice assembly including an enclosure, a cylindrical body inserted into the enclosure and terminated by an extrusion orifice. The self-cleaning extrusion orifice assembly is operated by a pressurized air flow. The pressurized air flow flushes surfaces of some elements of self-cleaning extrusion orifice assembly removing debris that could be deposited on these surfaces. In addition, some elements of self-cleaning extrusion orifice assembly are configured to scrape extrusion process debris from the same surfaces.
