Steel coil opening video - Side view

Demonstration of springback effect in a steel coil used in linepipe production

That is one heck of a giant clock spring!

The big roll is contained, but those straps are flying machetes!

I'm certain this is not the osha approved method 😆

[acdxxshingenxx]

The amount of energy loaded in that coil is terrifying.

ty this is exactly what i was looking for

[JimmySailor]

Isn’t the right way to put a slackable strap around the coil first? Let that take up the tension of the roll, cut the transit band, then slowly release slack into the strap.

[edledskal]

There’s gotta be a better way to do that. 🤔

[thvtsydneylyfth]

surely this isnt standard practice today

[jbonegw]

Not sure I’d ever feel safe doing this no matter how many times in the past.
