Abstract

A longitudinal welded pipe assembly and welding mill contains a trestle, on which a welding bridge configured to move is mounted, such bridge carrying welding equipment with the first welding head designed for welding on the outside of the pipe blank. A pipe blank rotation system and assembly mandrels, each containing a blank pipe longitudinal edge clamping mechanism, are installed in the trestle leg span. The mill is fitted with a cantilever crossbar mounted in the supporting assembly, with the second welding head designed for inside welding, the clamping mechanism made as hydraulic stops. The pipe blank rotation system is a welding trolley configured to move over guides and having rotary rollers designed for positioning a pipe blank in the welding position, and supporting rotary rollers located near the assembly mandrels and configured to diverge crosswise with respect to the guides to enable movement of the welding trolley into the assembly mandrel area and move in reverse up to the stop to the pipe blank surface. Technical result: expansion of the technological capabilities of existing mills by integrating equipment enabling to weld from inside and outside of the pipe blank in various sequence using various technologies and observing the geometrical accuracy of bringing together the blank edges for pipes of various diameter, in particular, for large diameter pipes.
