The standard head serves nominal 32–48-inch pipe. A separate 24–32-inch mounting head is described as an accessory; confirm its availability, mounting limits and tool arrangement for the supplied machine. Internal clamping dimensions must be checked separately from outside-diameter machining capacity.
Specify the complete preparation setup
Provide actual pipe OD and ID, wall thickness, material, bevel drawing, straight bore length and site power. Include the machine serial number for accessory or replacement-tooling enquiries. Justram can check the mandrel head, mounting pads, holders, inserts and hydraulic package against the job.
Plan lifting and operating clearances using the applicable machine drawing. The listed chip guard incorporates automatic shutoff; follow the supplied operating manual. For smaller pipe, compare the PFM 1632 and its optional 36-inch configuration.
