PIN BRAZING UNIT

PIN BRAZING

Various fields of application

Pin brazing is used to ensure a safe electrical connection to different types of steel structures .The pin brazing method is well suited for joints between pipes , connection to measuring cables , installation of sacrificial anodes , test posts and many other applications .

Fast and easy connection

Pin brazing of cables gives a safe and durable connection to a pipeline . the automated brazing takes only 1.5-2 seconds .Pin brazing is easy to use on site as well as in the workshop .

Pin brazing for cathodic protection

When a cathodic protection system is applied to a pipeline with spigot & sleeve joints these joints must be electrically bonded . to attach the electric cable connection over the joints , BAC pin brazing can be used .

The brazing pins are brazed at both the spigot and sleeve ends of the pipe and the cable attached . for pipes of ductile or cast-iron threaded brazing pins are used . then a prefabricated cable with nuts is fastened . for steel pipes either threaded brazing pins with nuts are or the cable is brazed directly onto the pipe by means of a lug .

In a cathodic protection system , there are often a great number of connections for anode cables , test posts etc .The BAC pin brazing unit contains all the equipment and tools required to make safe cable connections .

The BAC pin brazing system can also use a welding generator as a power source in situations where a great many connections need to be made in one place such as pipecoating yards , lay barges etc .

Benefits

• Speed of installation :around one minute per connection .
• Low temperature : the low melting point of the solder (650 ° ) and short heating time keep thermal effects on the steel to a minimum .
• All weather : wind , rain and cold do not prevent the operator from working safely and effectively . damp pipes pose no problem .
• Safety : no special equipment or precautions are needed for pin brazing operators .
• Easy to use :the automated nature of the process means operators can be trained in less than one hour .
• Versatile : the portable nature of the equipment means that connections can be made in almost any location above or below ground , even overhead .

Equipment

The BAC EASYBOND pin brazing unit is suitable for all types of miner installation and maintenance work . it is primarily designed for the occasional user who needs a simple , rugged and low cost machine . the unit is portable and easy to transport . the brazing process in the EASYBOND is controlled by means of the fuse wire on the brazing pin .

Larger pin brazing units are available for users requiring higher numbers of brazes on site .
