Pneumatic Internal Line Up clamp – Copper Backup
The Pneumatic Internal Line Up Clamp – Copper Backup is a specialized internal pipe alignment tool designed to ensure precise pipe fit-up while providing copper backing support during root pass welding. Powered by a reliable pneumatic system, the clamp expands inside the pipe to accurately align adjoining pipe sections, while the integrated copper backup shoes support the weld root and help achieve superior weld penetration and finish.
The copper backup system acts as a heat sink during welding, minimizing weld burn-through, reducing root defects, and improving weld consistency. This makes the clamp particularly suitable for high-quality pipeline welding applications where weld integrity and productivity are critical.
Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel and equipped with durable pneumatic components, the Pneumatic Internal Line Up Clamp – Copper Backup is built to withstand demanding field conditions. It is widely used in long-distance pipeline construction, oil & gas transmission projects, petrochemical plants, refineries, and water pipeline installations.
