Model 760B Tapping Machines can be either air

or hydraulically operated and are used for making
pipe and tank taps from 3- to 16-inches (DN 80
Typical Tapping Setup
to DN 400). Its maximum working pressure is
1,480 psi (102 bar) at 100°F (38°C). Its operating
temperature is -20°F (-29°C) to 700°F (371°C)
at 700 psi (48 bar) for intermittent service. Its
maximum continuous rating is 350°F (177°C) at
1,025 psi (70 bar).
This model features a split frame for lower
maintenance costs and ease of packing
replacement.

Notes
1. The following letters represent:
A = Carbon steel pipe SMYS (Specified Minimum Yield Strength) 30,000 to 50,000 psi, maximum tensile strength of 70,000 psi.
B = Carbon steel pipe SMYS 50,000 to 70,000 psi, maximum tensile strength of 90,000 psi.
C = Cast iron pipe. Cutting characteristics vary widely; hard to predict.
D = Chrome-moly, high temperature, steel pipe.
E = 300 series stainless steel pipe.
F = Flat plate cuts using special cutters on the materials listed above (refer to Notes 3 and 4). Pilot drill must be through before cutter tooth engages material.
2. The dual hydraulic drive features an ability to shift from high speed/low torque to low speed/high torque when tapping the larger diameter pipes and/or the more difficult cutting steels.
3. The table for selecting power options (above) is based on the latest TDW designs and past experience. The data should be used as a guideline. There have been, and will be, conditions
which will not strictly follow the guidelines.
4. Special cutters are available for flat plates, stainless steel pipe, cast iron pipe and other special conditions.
5. When tapping a larger pipe or tank, the cutter will sometimes go through the flat-plate condition. For example, all teeth are cutting at the same time. This is the most power-consuming
condition possible and special cutters may be required. Considering cutter size, diameter of cylinder, wall thickness, feed rates, different materials of construction, etc., the possibilities
are infinite. The following table gives some examples of flat-plate conditions. Any pipe or tank with wall thicknesses greater than those shown will also be considered flat plate.
