Pipe and Tube Cutters Specifications

Help with Pipe and Tube Cutters specifications:

Pipe and Tube Cutter Type

	Your choices are...
	Chain / Soil Pipe Cutter		Chain or soil pipe cutters use a chain that is wrapped around the pipe and levered or pressed around the circumference.
	Close Quarters Cutter		Close quarters cutters are able to cut pipe and tubing that has been mounted or affixed to equipment with limited work space by using a low, profiled tool head.
	Cutting Wheel		Cutting wheels are pressed against a tube or pipe, saddled by rollers, and rotates around the work piece.
	Enclosed Feed Cutter		Enclosed feed cutters have an isolated feed that advances the cutting tool towards the work piece.
	Hinged Cutter		Hinged cutters have an obliged tool head with a hinge that allows you to surround the work piece with the cutting tool.
	Internal Cutter		Internal cutters have a shaft or linear extension to a cutting wheel or head that cuts the pipe or tubing from the inside.
	Orbital Cutter		Orbital cutters surround the pipe or tubing with a collar that has retraceable cutting heads that work their way through the pipe or tubing as it is rotated around the work piece.
	Ratchet Cutter		Ratchet cutters incrementally rotate a cutting head around the work piece as you crank the handle.
	Scissor Cutter		Scissor cutters use either a saddle and blade or two blades that pinch and cut through the pipe or tubing.
	Telescoping Cutter		Telescoping cutters have a feed screw that allows you to advance the tool head while the tool's consistent size allows cutting of pipe and tube in tight spaces.
	Other		Other unlisted, proprietary or specialized cut-off tool.

	Tubing / Pipe Material
	Your choices are...
	Aluminum		Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light-weight, trivalent, metallic element that provides good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
	Iron (Gray / Cast)		The term "cast iron" refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron, with varying amounts of carbon and silicon. Gray cast iron incorporates the graphite form of carbon in a flaky structure within the iron. Cast iron has been widely used for pipes and fittings for hundreds of years in water and wastewater applications due to its durability and excellent corrosion resistance.
	Iron (Ductile)		Ductile iron is a form of cast iron developed in the 1940s that incorporates significant casting refinements, additional metallurgical processes, and superior quality control.  Heat treatment after casting changes the graphite into spheroidal shapes, giving ductile iron greater elongation, impact strength, and toughness than its predecessor, gray cast iron; in fact, the properties of ductile iron resemble those of steel more closely than traditional gray cast iron. Ductile iron retains the machinability of gray iron, and its high corrosion resistance is often enhanced with polyethylene encasement.  Ductile iron is also called "Nodular Iron" or "S.G. Iron".
	Concrete		Concrete is a composite of cement, sand, and aggregate; other additives are frequently used to enhance qualities such as strength or water resistance. Concrete pipe is used for large infrastructure applications due to its strength and durability.
	Copper		Copper and copper alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance, ductility, and strength. Copper alloys are relatively easy to fabricate by forming, casting, or machining. Pure copper is more difficult to weld, cast, or machine. Brass, tin bronze, leaded brass, beryllium copper, and zirconium copper are examples of copper alloys. Copper is useful as an alloying element in aluminum alloys and powder, metal-based, iron alloys.  Copper is a versatile metal with applications in many industrial and commercial segments. Copper's high electrical conductivity (100% IACS) makes it extremely useful in electrical and electronic applications.
	Glass		Glass properties include smoothness, nonconductivity, relative inertness, and resistance to acids and other corrosive media.  Its chemical resistance makes it suitable for many chemical processing applications.
	Lead		Lead pipe is used in chemical, nuclear, and other specialized applications. Lead is noted for its durability, versatile formability, economy, and ability to deform plastically, thereby avoiding catastrophic failure. Environmental regulations govern the use of lead pipe in some water supply applications.
	Polymer / Plastic		Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic, or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.
	Rubber / Elastomer		Elastomers and rubber materials are characterized by their high degree of flexibility and elasticity (high reversible elongation).  Elastomers and rubber materials can be based on a variety of systems such as silicone, polyurethane, chloroprene, butyl, polybutadiene, neoprene, natural rubber or isoprene, and other synthetic rubber or compounds.
	Steel		Steel includes general-purpose carbon steel; mild steel; or steel alloys that contain chrome, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, or other elements to alter hardenability characteristics, toughness, hardness, corrosion resistance, and/or strength. Typically, "black pipe" is made of carbon steel.
	Stainless Steel		Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and has relatively high pressure ratings. This selection includes all grades of stainless steel.
	Other		Other unlisted, proprietary or specialized material.

Power

	Your choices are...
	Power Tools		Power tools include a wide range of devices for fabrication, assembly, construction, and repair. They are usually motor-driven.
	Electrical Tools		Electrically powered hand tools are usually motor driven and use either batteries or hard wired connections.
	Hydraulic Tools		Hydraulic tools are powered by the flow and pressure of a fluid. Typically, these handheld power tools use oil or water based fluids that are pressurized by hydraulic power units or hydraulic pumps.
	Pneumatic Tools		Pneumatic tools are powered by the flow and pressure of a compressed gas. Typically, these handheld power tools use compressed air or compressed carbon dioxide that is stored in small canisters for portability.
	Manual Tools		Manually powered tools use levers, screws, springs and other mechanics that give a mechanical advantage.
