Pipe cutter for thermoplastic pipes

摘要

The pipe cutter comprises a static ring component to fit around an outer circumference of a thermoplastic pipe. A first frame component attaches rigidly to the static ring and a second frame component 4 is rotatably mounted to the first frame component. The first and second frame components comprise a plurality of segments which can be assembled together around the pipe without the need to access the end of the pipe. The static ring component may be a collar type re-rounder 2 which helps to prevent deformation of the thermoplastic pipe when cut.
