Acu-Tech supplies a range of Poly Welding Clamps, used when welding with electrofusion fittings, in order to align both ends of the pipe during scraping, heating, welding & cooling. Welding clamps are also known as alignment clamps, and are different to re-rounding clamps, which are used to ensure the weld does not fail because the pipe is an oval shape. The alignment clamp is essential, even for smaller size pipe, to keep the pipe aligned while the electrofusion welding process is completed. It restrains the pipe from pulling out of the fitting or welder, and ensures the weld pressure is not reduced, because the pipe is being pulled from the end. Stress, misalignment or lack of pressure can result in … Continue reading Welding Alignment Clamps
