| Weld alignment clamp for boiler tubes A new compact, high-strength weld alignment clamp that is easy to use for rigidly holding in place two sections of tube, pipe, flanges, or plate is being introduced by Esco Tool. The Esco HOG-TIE Weld Alignment Clamp delivers up to 15,000 lbs. of force for rapidly positioning two pipes, boiler tubes, flanges or plates. Fast and easy to use, it consists of two clamping jaws and a steel strap that inserts between the two sections being aligned; engages the two clamping jaws, positioned on either side, and pulls them together using a wrench. Machined from heat treated steel, The Esco HOG-TIE Weld Alignment Clamp sets up quickly and releases instantly, while allowing users to set the weld gap in the same step. Applications include boiler tube water wall panels and pendant tubes, pipe from 2", steel plate, panel sections for erecting tanks, and flange alignment for valve replacement. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
