China’s most giant liquid natural gas storage tank with a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters was welded with the TIP TIG technology. This is one of the biggest LNG storage tanks in the world, and it was made using a special 9% nickel steel alloy that allows ultra-low temperatures.

With a 99.18% of successful weld pass rate, the TIP TIG helped the CNOOC to achieve a breakthrough in the field of ultra-low temperature welding.

The TIP TIG welding process was used to weld 9% Ni steel inner tank wall plates efficiently to aid the CNOOC in achieving a cost reduction of a single tank by 1/3.

The TIP TIG – SuperCut is a portable pipe and pipeline cutting machine with 6in – 48in (DN150 – 1200) included capacity. These machines feature an atmospheric anti-corrosion package with high-grade aluminum components and special finishes.

The TIP TIG – SuperCut offers the inherent advantages of a semi-sealed and self-lubricating closed-loop system. This model is particularly suited to field machining operations under the type of hostile conditions often found in pipeline maintenance and construction, such as dirt, sand, and water. It is a portable pipe cutting machine that can be used conveniently on offshore drilling rigs, pipelines, and construction work in rivers and harbors.
