The Difference of Roll Grooved Pipes and Cut Grooved Pipes
A groove is formed without the need to remove any pipe material, a revolutionary technique unlike traditional cut grooving which involves physically cutting away material from the pipe’s outer diameter.
Roll Groove
Currently, approximately 90 percent of grooved pipes are using roll grooving technology because of its efficiency and ability to maintain optimal joint performance. With roll grooving, pipes can be grooved in around just 30 seconds, roll grooving process no need of cutting oil and also no need to cleanup of metal shavings left behind by the cut grooving process.
Roll grooving is a pipe connection technique that involves cold-forming the pipe to create a grooved end. A key advantage of roll grooving is its convenience for system maintenance and expansion, as the removable couplings at each joint make it easy to work with.
Cut Groove
Although roll grooving is widely used, the traditional cut groove method proves to be highly beneficial in various scenarios. For instance, when dealing with pipes that have thick walls, cut grooving ensures a more dependable groove. Additionally, if a pipe is internally lined or coated, cut grooving is preferred to preserve the integrity of the lining and coating. Furthermore, the type of pipe material may also necessitate cut grooving as the ideal groove style.
With cut grooves, you get double the built-in movement compared to roll grooved pipes, providing added engineering benefits. Whether you opt for roll grooving or cut grooving, we have the solution for your pipe joining requirements. Visit our website for more information on grooved technology.
