Producing clean, bright, perfect bevels for manual pipeline welding to maximize quality and minimize repairs.
Machining modified bevels on heavy wall pipe to reduce metal volume, therefore reducing welding time.
Machining mitered bevels up to 2-1/2 degrees included angle on pipelines where it is not possible to use a
Pipe Bending Machine. (Miter type PFMs).
The CRC-Evans Pipe Facing Machine uses a combination of mechanical and hydraulic components to produce
bevels with a tolerance of 0.005" (0.13mm). A hydraulic power source is required.

PIPE FACING MACHINE
The CRC-Evans Pipe Facing Machine has two major parts. The clamp section and the machining section. The
clamp section has two sets of hydraulically operated shoes that are mechanically interconnected so that they
expand equally and simultaneously. The shoes secure the machine to the pipe end by expanding inside the
pipe.
The machining section of the Pipe Facing Machine consists of a rotating faceplate with up to six radial arms
holding cutting tools with tungsten-carbide tips. The tools can be set to machine a wide range of bevel
configurations. The faceplate is rotated hydraulically. The face plate is fed by an independent hydraulic
system.
On shore (land) pipelines, the Pipe Facing Machine is suspended from a side boom tractor. The pipe facing
operation takes 2 to 5 minutes depending on the pipe wall thickness and the skill of the operator. The
recommended manpower is one facing machine operator and one tractor operator.
The CRC-Evans Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) can be used to power the Pipe Facing Machine. This unit is skid
mounted and consists of a prime mover, hydraulic pumps, oil reservoir, and hydraulic hoses for transferring the
power. Alternatively, power may be obtained from a tractor mounted hydraulic power take-off.
The standard CRC-Evans Pipe Facing Machine with Hydraulic Power Unit is available for pipe sizes 4" through
60". The machines are available for sale or lease. CRC-Evans maintains an extensive inventory of spare parts,
consumable items and tools.

Counterbores and Miter Machines are considered specials. Supply all pertinent information to Houston or Tulsa
before quoting.
Thicker wall thickness have been beveled with particular machines. It is important to consult Tulsa or Houston
before quoting heavy wall pipe thicknesses.
IMPORTANT
On all wall thicknesses 1.00 in. (25.4mm) and above, it is strongly recommended the CRC-Evans engineering in
Houston or Tulsa be consulted.
