Saves Time and Money in Producing & Recycling Heavy-Wall Weld Coupons
Rancho Cordova, CA – May 9, 2014 – The new CouponMASTER™ Weld Coupon Machine
from Tri Tool, a world recognized leading precision machine tool manufacturer,
is the perfect solution for union halls, colleges and trade schools
where high
numbers of weld coupons are utilized in training and certification programs for
welders qualifying with heavy wall pipe. Whether producing weld test coupons by
cutting and beveling factory length piping, or purchasing pre-cut and beveled
weld test coupons, the CouponMASTER rapidly pays for itself by effectively
reusing and recycling post-welded training and weld test coupons.
“Tri Tool has a long history with the UA. We are known to provide the most
durable, high quality cutting and beveling equipment with the best customer
service in the business, so when the request came for a better solution to the
coupon recycling problem, we were happy help,” said Pat Flippen, VP of Services
at Tri Tool and thirty four year UA member.
With the average pre-cut and pre-beveled 2” diameter (NPS) weld test coupon
being 4” long, the CouponMASTER tube cutting machine can perform at least four
reclamation cycles (considering a .125” HAZ removal tolerance) for post-welded
coupons. With routine high volume coupon requirements for arc time practice,
combined with code related welder qualification testing, the CouponMASTER will
produce significant long-term cost savings.
Tony Taylor, Training Director at UA Local 404, Amarillo, TX, an experienced,
satisfied customer summed it up best, “The tool is working great. It has helped
us tremendously.”
Available in electric or air motor versions, the CouponMASTER is built around
Tri Tool’s rugged and dependable Model 208B BEVELMASTER® pipe beveling machine
for maximum performance, precision and durability, and incorporates a strong,
integral base stand for bench top mounting.
The CouponMASTER comes complete with all required wrenches, a 37.5º Durabit® 5
beveling bit, mounting blocks for 1.63” thru 8.63” IDs, and both a 1.63” through
8.63” along with a 1.503” (2” XX Super Coupon) mandrel for the widest cutting
range of any coupon machine available.
This tube cutting machine machine features easy set-up, operation, and rapid
size change-over for reliable, repeatable results, and is backed by Tri Tool’s
dedicated customer support.
