Centering clamps are an essential tool for high-quality pipeline assembly. Their job is to align both pipe ends on a common axis (centering). Meeting quality requirements without them seems impossible. Achieving the alignment required by technical specifications is the first reason to buy a centering clamp.
A well-assembled joint with no misalignment allows both edges to fuse fully, which reduces the resulting defects. Repairing faulty joints costs far more than making the same joint during construction of the line, and that is the second reason to order a centering clamp from us.
Manual assembly takes more people and more time. A centering clamp reduces pipe assembly time to the necessary minimum. Using two clamps on one pipeline makes it possible to assemble the next joint before welding of the previous one is finished. The device is light enough for one person to handle, and operating it requires no special skills. Simple and fast assembly is one more reason to get a centering clamp.
