Chapter 3
Introduction to the
Goliath Guillotine
Read this chapter carefully to become familiar with the
components and features of your Goliath Guillotine pipe
saw.
USAGE AND APPLICATIONS
The Goliath Guillotine is designed to cold-cut pipes, solids,
and multi-stranded casing strings from 16” to 32” (41 to 81
cm) in diameter. The Goliath is easy to set up, even sub-sea,
and is available with an autoclamp option and topside con-
trols for remote operation.
The Goliath Guillotine operates on hydraulic power, with
two heavy-duty hydraulic motors requiring a power source
with 15 gpm flow at 1500 psi (standard) or 15 gpm @ 2000
psi (autoclamp).
Figure 3-1 illustrates the components of the standard Goli-
ath Guillotine. Figure 3-2 shows the saw with the optional
autoclamp. The autoclamp arm closes under hydraulic
power and holds the pipe in the pipe saddle during cutting.
