Design of a low vibration grinding jig and fixture for pipe beveling prior to welding

Pipes are commonly welded through various types of ends, including bevelled ends. Pipe bevelling is a process of forming an angle between the pipe end edge and the plane perpendicular to the surface. The pipe bevel angle depends on the welding standard, including angles such as 30⁰ and 45⁰. The m...
