Abstract
A production apparatus for a tapered steel pipe which holds the two ends of the steel pipe by shafts on carriers and moves it in the axial direction while rotating it to draw it to a taper by an intermediate working roll, wherein the shaft of the working roll is inclined 20 to 40 degrees with respect to the axis of the steel pipe and a roll caliber of the working roll is made an outwardly curved surface with little difference in roll peripheral speed; the face plate for mounting the working roll is positioned and supported with respect to the body by a hinge mechanism and is fastened to the body by fastening members; and the bearing of the working roll at the side close to the steel pipe is made smaller than the bearing at the side far from the steel pipe and the two bearings are connected by a tie-rod.
