Pipe Cutting & Beveling

EA Services performs pipe cutting (severing) and beveling on diameters 1/2” through 120” of any wall thickness. We have the capability to machine all materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, chrome, P91 and exotic alloys.

We can provide equipment & tooling to machine weld joints to your specifications. Standard bevels, compound bevels, J-bevels and other configurations are easily achieved.

When required we will counter bore the piping, valves or fittings to assure exact weld joint match ups for better weld results. Taper boring or schedule reduction to match pipe ends of different wall thickness is not a problem.

A wide range of portable machining tools allow us the option to mount and machine a variety of valves, fitting and other components. Our extensive equipment inventory also means we can work in areas that have minimal radial and axial clearances.

Flange Facing

We have the capability of machining flanges up to 120” OD. EA Services routinely machines raised face, RTJ and tongue & groove flanges. Gasket surfaces on exchanger heads, Exchanger diaphragm removal, dollar plates, tube sheets and vessel shells are a specialty. We also are experienced in machining of gasket surfaces on nozzles, man ways and hand holes. We offer equipment that requires low axial and radial clearance envelopes. Any surface finish requirement can be met.

Milling

We have a large inventory of milling machines that will fit varying applications. Pump and motor bases are routine projects for us & are machined to your tolerances quickly and accurately. We also provide milling of other items such as dividers and exchangers, key ways in shafts and gasket surfaces on access doors. Tight tolerances and exact surface finishes are assured.

Shaft and Journal Turning

EA Services can turn shafts from 2” through 32” outside diameter. We can machine o-ring grooves, repair bearing surfaces, cut out of round gear seats and re-size shaft ends. Our machining methods & equipment used require only minimal disassembly of your equipment. There is no need for the shaft to rotate during the machining process. Our technicians will hold the tightest of tolerances and leave the exact surface finish required.
