Why Do You Need Precision Alignment for Oil and Gas Piping?

-

Underground pipes may corrode when they come into contact with chemicals in the soil. When this happens, you need urgent repairs. Our oil and gas welding solutions can get your pipeline back up and running quickly.
-
Misaligned pipes:
If pipes are misaligned, they can't carry oil and gas efficiently. Misalignment can cause failure in the welded joint,which can cause joint failure and risk exposing people and the environment to toxic substances.When laying a pipeline, you need your pipes aligned with no misfits. When using Walhonde’s patented tools and processes, you virtually eliminate weld rejection due to misalignment.
