Pipeline Welding
Orbital and manual TIG for cross-country, subsea, and process pipelines.
TIP TIG in the
Pipeline Welding
Pipeline welding must work reliably in remote, harsh conditions — and meet strict codes. Cross-country lines, subsea tiebacks, or CRA-lined process pipe: TIP TIG delivers consistent, code-compliant results. Orbital and portable manual systems available. Proven on carbon steel, duplex, super duplex, and clad pipe worldwide.
Why TIP TIG
Orbital Pipeline Systems
Automated orbital heads with TIP TIG wire feed. Consistent, high-quality circumferential welds.
CRA & Clad Pipe Expertise
Proven on CRA-lined and clad pipe. Keeps overlay integrity with minimal dilution.
Field-Ready Portability
Compact, rugged systems built for remote sites. Arctic tundra to desert.
All-Position Capability
Full 5G and 6G welding for fixed-position tie-ins and repairs.
Reduced Repair Rates
Higher first-pass acceptance means fewer cut-outs. Critical when rework costs are per joint.
API & ASME Compliance
Meets API 1104, ASME B31.3, and other pipeline codes operators require worldwide.
Panyu Offshore Pipeline — 273 mm Orbital on Pipelay Vessel
CNOOC's Panyu offshore project in the South China Sea required Inconel 625 CRA pipe in three sizes: 168 mm, 203 mm, and 273 mm. TIP TIG Orbital with ILUC internal line-up clamp welded all joints fully automated on the pipelay vessel. Result: 100% X-ray pass rate, 3x faster weld cycles, and 40% cost savings vs. conventional TIG.
