Types of Machined Ends: 

  • Plain Roller Cut - the end is cut with a roller pipe cutter; no additional machining is performed
  • Threaded   
  • Square Ream - a machining process that cuts the end of the pipe on a 90 degree angle to the wall
  • Ream & Chamfer - a machining process that cuts the end of the pipe on an angle (usually 38 to 42 degrees) to the wall
  • Roll Groove - a piece of pipe is cold formed to make a circular and extensive groove in the pipe; a groove is created without removing any pipe material
