A chain pipe cutter is a tool used for cutting through pipes of different materials, such as steel, copper, PVC, or cast iron. The cutter uses a chain wrapped around the pipe, which, when tightened, applies pressure to evenly cut through the material. Chain pipe cutters are particularly useful for cutting pipes in confined spaces where traditional pipe cutting tools may not fit. These tools are available in manual, hydraulic, and electric-powered versions, depending on the pipe size and material. Chain pipe cutters are widely used in plumbing, construction, and industrial maintenance. They are designed to meet high standards like ISO 9001 and SASO 2201 to ensure they deliver safe and reliable performance.
Key Features:
- Even Pressure Distribution: The chain wraps around the pipe and applies even pressure for a clean, straight cut.
- Versatile: Suitable for cutting a variety of pipe materials, including metal and plastic.
- Compact and Portable: Can be used in tight spaces where larger cutters or saws cannot reach.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand the stresses of cutting through tough materials.
Types and Standards:
- Manual Chain Pipe Cutters: Operated by hand, suitable for small to medium pipe sizes.
- Hydraulic Chain Pipe Cutters: Powered by hydraulic pressure, ideal for cutting larger, thicker pipes.
- Electric Chain Pipe Cutters: Offer greater speed and efficiency for cutting larger quantities of pipe.
- **ISO 9001, SASO 2201: Quality assurance standards for reliability and performance.
Brands Available:
Ridgid, Husky, Grove, K-Tool, and Meco are trusted manufacturers offering reliable chain pipe cutters for various applications.
General Maintenance:
Inspect the chain regularly for wear or damage and lubricate it to prevent rust. Ensure the cutter’s jaw mechanism is functioning properly and clean any debris after use. Store the cutter in a dry, safe place to avoid rust or damage to the chain.
