The goal of the study, Development of Pipe Beveler Machine, was to address
the issue of beveling Black Iron Pipe. The prototype has a maximum bevel angle of
55 degrees. The Frame, Gear Motor, Inverter, Oxy-Acetylene Cutting Torch, Rod,
Black Iron Pipe, Cold Rolled Steel, Tubing, Tool Steel, Sprocket, Spring, Sprocket
Chain, Ball Bearing, Bolts, and Knuts are the key components of the Beveling
Machine. A test was done utilizing the prototype Oxy-Acetylene (Manual) and Speed
Cutter to ascertain the work speed in a comparative study. Result indicated that 4 mm
Iron Pipe that obtained 1 minute, the prototype is efficient, safe and simple to use
compared to Oxy Acetylene (Manual) which took 4 minutes and 8 seconds spent 7
minutes on Speed Cutter. The inspection of the prototype has shown a high level of
acceptance, indicating satisfaction with functionality, aesthetics, workability,
efficiency, safety and ergonomics. The viability of pipe beveler machine development
in terms of functionality 4.43, aesthetics 4.44, workability 4.33, efficiency 4.37, safety
4.45, and ergonomics 4.43. It received an overall mean score of 4.41 and descriptive
score “Very Acceptable”, 38 respondents chosen through purposive sample evaluated
the prototype using a validate tool, demonstrating the prototype’s efficacy and
beveling black iron pipe.
