Nowadays, high-quality pipeline girth welds with outstanding material properties in combination with time and material savings and low repairing rate are key success factors for pipeline contractors. We meet all these demands with our pipeRunner® orbital system. It is the perfect combination for pipeline orbital welding.
In addition, our solution minimizes the repairing rate, thanks to the fine-tuning of our high quality diamondspark flux cored wires with the movements and wire feeding precision offered by the pipeRunner® and the perfect electric arc performance of TERRA 400 PRM.
An example of a focus application: Our Full Welding Solution is ideal for pipeline contractors who want to introduce mechanization into their welding processes with a limited investment.
Get the perfect results with our Böhler Welding consumables. Manually welding the root and hot pass with SMAW/GTAW and GMAW, and then welding the fills and cap layers mechanically with our pipeRunner® and diamondspark flux cored wires for pipeline welding.

pipeRunner® has also been used also in clad pipeline applications. Clad pipes have been successfully welded with pipeRunner® and our all-positional alloy 625 flux cored wire FoxCore 625-T1. pipeRunner® is definitely an optimal solution for high-alloys pipeworks and clad pipeline as well.
The Terra 400 PRM pipeline version is a robust and reliable three-phase new generation multi-process inverter power source. In order to suit the needs for orbital pipeline welding and to perform root and hot pass by manual or semi-automatic welding, the Terra 400 PRM is equipped with a special display to manage all of the welding processes, the special remote control RC 100 MP is specifically designed for pipeline jobsites.

Nuestros hilos tubulares sin costuras con fundente diamondspark son la combinación perfecta con nuestro equipo de soldadura TERRA 400 PRM y el pipeRunner® para la soldadura orbital de tuberías. Nuestro diseño sin costuras permite obtener un bajo contenido de hidrógeno difusible, sin absorción de humedad en el almacenamiento y el manejo. Gracias a ello, existe un bajo riesgo de agrietamiento retardado por hidrógeno y sopladura vermicular.
Los productos de la gama diamondspark X RC Pipe están recubiertos de cobre con una excelente transferencia de corriente y un menor desgaste de las puntas de contacto. Nuestros hilos tubulares con fundente son conocidos por su estupenda capacidad de alimentación con una mayor duración del arco y resistencia a la rotura de los hilos. La receta especial optimizada para la soldadura de tuberías garantiza además una baja cantidad de silicatos, una escoria espesa que soporta el baño de soldadura en la progresión ascendente y un fácil desprendimiento de la escoria.
One of the most important aspects in the welding process is the protection of the welder. Which is why voestalpine Böhler Welding created the new personal protection and accessories line.
The products reflect our high-quality demands and give welders the protection and the tools they need. Helmets such as theGuardian 62 Complete and Guardian 62F Air Complete, gloves, glasses and clothes are ideal for the pipeline jobsite. Additionally, we provide a full range of electrode holders and ground clamps.
For voestalpine Böhler Welding, being a Full Welding Solutions provider means acting as a partner for pipeline contractors through the weldTECH Application Services, which include a team of welding engineers experienced in pipeline construction.
