The complete mould set for a pipe mill stand: the forming and sizing moulds matched to your pass line, so a size change is a change of set rather than a rebuild.
Why it matters on the line
- The complete set for a stand, matched to your pass line, supplied as one unit
- Each mould in the set is marked with the stand and the size, so a size change is a crane job
- Approved against your drawing before any metal is cut
- The right way to buy if you change size often and do not want to machine on site
What we supply
| Item | What we hold to | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Set contents | As your pass line drawing | Everything for the stand in one delivery |
| Approval | Drawing approved before machining | No machining against an assumed pass line |
| Marking | Stand and size on every piece | Makes a size change a swap, not a search |
| Hardness | HRC 58–62, vacuum hardened and tempered | Pipe stands are heavily loaded |
Every item is machined in our own workshop and marked before it is packed, so it goes back to the stand it came from. If you send us a drawing or a sample we work to that; if you are not sure what you need, send us the mill model and the pass line and we will tell you.
Technical notes
A mould set is matched at the pass-line level, which is the whole reason to buy a set rather than individual rolls. If one stand in the sequence is reground to a different profile height, the tube arrives at the next stand in a slightly different condition and the error compounds down the line. We machine the set against an approved drawing, mark every piece with its stand and size, and check the matching before release so that a size change is a change of parts rather than a session of trial and adjustment. For mills that change size often, that difference is most of the saving.
Frequently asked questions
What is included in a pipe mill mould set?
The forming and sizing moulds matched to your pass line for the stand or size in question. We confirm the exact scope against your drawing before machining.
Why buy a set instead of replacing one mould?
Because rolls wear as a sequence. Replacing a single mould with a profile that does not match its neighbours often creates a bigger setting problem than the one you were fixing.

Send us the drawing or the sample
A drawing, a photo with a ruler in frame, or the mill model is enough for us to quote and to tell you honestly whether the item should be reground or replaced.
