RSAL provides mechanized welding services that offer the following advantages over conventional manual welding:

All weld parameters are programmed into the weld head control unit and therefore high quality welds can be guaranteed.

Welds are consistent and can be repeated.

Repair rates are significantly reduced (Raymond has attained zero repair rate) with the associated reduction in NDT charges.

Reduces duration per weld and therefore reduces the quantity of equipment and personnel required, which can be critical in restricted environments.

Produces a crevice free smooth weld with no spatter, providing a suitable surface for the application of joint coatings after welding, particularly FBE coatings.

"As Built" weld parameters can be recorded in the form of a paper print out from the control unit.

The process can be applied to all types of steel and alloy tubes and pipes ranging in diameter from 6 mm to 1520 mm, from thin wall process tube to heavy wall pressure pipe, both in shop or field locations.
