Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to methods, systems, and apparatuses, for providing fittings capable of being orbitally welded. A system may include measuring components configured to measure a tubing thickness and measure a fitting thickness. The system may also include a processor configured to determine a difference in thickness between the measured tubing thickness and the measured fitting thickness and, based on the determined difference in thickness, determine an amount of fitting that is to be removed to reach a set, specified thickness that allows the fitting to be orbitally welded. The system may also include a facing tool configured to bevel and shape an end portion of the fitting according to the determined amount of fitting that is to be removed to reach the specified thickness and may include an orbital welder configured to orbitally weld the beveled end of the fitting to the tubing in a fusion socket weld.
