Internal Expansion Pipe Beveling Machine - II Model
Heavy-wall internal expansion pipe bevelers for 80-830mm ID pipes with wall thickness up to 75mm. II-Model series for pressure vessels, thick-wall headers, and heavy industrial applications.
Watch the ISE-II Series perform precision internal pipe beveling from inside the pipe
Overview
The ISE II-Model Series is our heavy-duty lineup of ID-mounted beveling machines, purpose-built for thick-wall pipe applications where standard machines fall short. With wall thickness capacity up to 75mm, these machines serve the most demanding sectors: nuclear power, high-pressure vessels, and offshore oil & gas.
Key Advantages
- 75mm wall capacity - Handles extreme wall thicknesses for critical applications
- Angled motor design - Superior torque transfer for heavy cutting loads
- Robust clamping - Heavy-duty expansion mechanism for secure grip
- Cold machining - No heat-affected zone preserves material properties
T-Model vs II-Model Comparison
| Specification | T-Model | II-Model |
|---|---|---|
| Max Wall Thickness | ≤15mm | ≤75mm |
| Motor Configuration | Vertical (T) | Angled (Y) |
| Torque Capacity | Standard | Heavy-duty |
| Weight Class | 3.5-45kg | 18-60kg |
| Best For | Standard pipes | Thick-wall, critical welds |
Which Model Should You Choose?
For medium pressure vessels and headers (80-240mm ID):
The ISE-252-2 is the entry point into heavy-wall beveling. Perfect for fabricators transitioning from T-Model work to thicker applications. Most pressure vessel shops start here.
For high-pressure piping and nozzles (150-330mm ID):
Choose the ISE-352-2—our most popular II-Model. It handles the sweet spot of pressure vessel nozzle work and thick-wall headers. If you only buy one II-Model, this is the one.
For large headers and thick-wall process piping (250-426mm ID):
The ISE-426-2 serves heavy industrial sectors: offshore platforms, LNG terminals, and major refinery projects where 300-400mm heavy-wall pipes are routine.
For major pressure vessels and nuclear (300-830mm ID):
Our ISE-630-2 and ISE-850-2 are purpose-built for the most demanding applications—nuclear power components, high-pressure steam drums, and subsea equipment where wall thickness and weld quality are critical.
Drive Options
| Drive Code | Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| ISOE | Electric | General heavy-duty workshop use |
| ISOP | Pneumatic | Hazardous areas, offshore platforms |
| ISOM | Metabo | Premium quality, continuous operation |
Heavy-Wall Bevel Profiles
For walls over 20mm, weld joint design becomes critical. The II-Model produces:
- V-Type Bevel - Standard 30°, 37.5°, 45° included angles
- Compound Bevel - Root face (land) + bevel angle for controlled penetration
- J-Prep (U-Type) - Radiused root with straight bevel, reduces weld volume
- Double-J - Symmetric J-prep on both ends for minimum weld volume
Customization Options
- Bevel Angle — Standard angles (30°, 37.5°, 45°), J-prep and compound bevels available
- Drive System — Electric (ISOE), pneumatic (ISOP), or Metabo (ISOM) options
- Voltage — 220V/380V AC standard, other configurations available
- Tooling — Torque-limiting feed handle and specialty cutter sets available

Key Features
75mm Wall Capacity
Handles extreme wall thicknesses found in high-pressure vessels, main steam lines, and nuclear components.
Angled Motor Design
II-Model's angled configuration provides superior torque transfer for heavy cutting loads.
Robust Clamping
Heavy-duty expansion mechanism with larger contact area for secure grip on thick-wall pipes.
Multiple Bevel Profiles
V-type, compound bevel, J-type, and double-J configurations per ASME standards.
Cold Machining
No heat-affected zone preserves material properties critical for pressure-rated applications.
Field Portable
Despite heavy-duty capacity, all models remain portable for on-site pressure vessel work.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose II-Model over T-Model?
Choose II-Model when wall thickness exceeds 15mm, or when you need maximum rigidity for critical welds. T-Model is lighter and more compact for standard wall pipes up to 15mm.
Can II-Model handle stainless steel?
Yes, the II-Model processes carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, and alloy steels. Adjust feed rate and use appropriate carbide inserts for different materials.
What bevel profiles are possible?
Standard V-type (30°, 37.5°, 45°), compound bevel with land, J-prep with radius, and double-J for heavy wall symmetric joints.
How long does it take to bevel a 50mm wall pipe?
Typical cycle time for 50mm wall is 8-15 minutes depending on pipe diameter and bevel complexity. Multiple passes may be required for optimal surface finish.
What power supply is required?
Electric models use 220V/380V AC depending on motor size. Pneumatic models require 0.6-0.8 MPa compressed air at 1500-2500 L/min for heavy cutting.
Is special training required?
Yes, we recommend operator training for II-Model machines due to the heavy cutting forces involved. Training ensures safe operation and optimal tool life.
Are heavy-duty carbide inserts included?
Yes, II-Model machines come with reinforced carbide inserts designed for thick-wall applications. Spare insert packs are available for extended projects.
