Abstract

See full text

An alignment tool that is used to hold a pipe fitting stationary in the welding process includes a pipe guide, a guide shaft, and an adapter. The adapter can vary according to the fitting that is to be welded. As an example, the adapter can be a flange adapter, a 90-degree adapter or a 45-degree adapter. The guide shaft is slidably engaged to a connecting arm which is perpendicularly and terminally fixed to the pipe guide. Therefore, the distance between the guide shaft and the pipe guide can be varied as preferred. A base section of the adapter is slidably engaged along the guide shaft. Therefore, the position of the fitting which is mounted on the adapter can also be repositioned as preferred. In order to hold the pipe against the pipe guide, a chain is being used.
