ABSTRACT:
Corrugations are removed from the end of a helically corrugated pipe by compressing the end of the pipe between a plurality of radially movable die segments. By choosing appropriately-shaped die segments and die-actuating cams, the end of the pipe can be expanded, or shrunk to a diameter less than that of an imaginary cylinder defined by a surface of revolution contacting the innermost surfaces of the pipe. Products manufactured in accordance with the method of the invention have an end portion with an accurately controlled diameter; a minimum of pipe length is taken up by the modification.
