[Problem] There is provided a pipe end shape correcting apparatus capable of improving the roundness without loss of work efficiency and the mechanical damage to a weld bead even in the case where the pipe ends of UOE metal pipes having various outside diameters are worked. [Solution] In a pipe end shape correcting apparatus for a UOE metal pipe for correcting the roundness of a pipe end portion by applying a pressure to the pipe end portion held between an inner surface-side die and an outer surface-side die, the inner surface-side die having an upper surface having a circular arc-shaped cross section and being fixed to an upper part of a base on the inner surface side, and the outer surface-side die having a lower surface having a circular arc-shaped cross section and being fixed to a lower part of a base on the outer surface side, each of the inner surface-side die and the outer surface-side die is split into a plurality of parts, and is fixed so that a space between the split die parts is located in a respective central portion of the split inner surface-side dies and the split outer surface-side dies. |
