Operation
Monitor Pressure
Due to variations in temperature and pulling speed, adjustments
may have to be made to pressure settings for the straightener and
rerounder systems to obtain the best results.
IMPORTANT:
Final ovality measurements are only reliable after two
hours, due to slow relaxation of pipe.

End of Coil with Pipe Secured
If the pipe coil was mounted on a reel and the inside end tied off,
continue the pull until the pipe has reached the end of the coil.
Do not stop the pull when the rope securing the end of the pipe is
reached. Let the pulling load break the rope. This keeps the pipe
from twisting until the last few feet get to the pipe preparation
machine.
If the pipe twists, it may not be straightened or rerounded properly.
