Ensure a proper calibrated fit after lining up out-of-round pipe ends

Page last modified
February 22 2024

Hercules Piping Tools Engineering is the leading innovation supplier for in-house designed, manufactured and patented internal pipe fit-up clamps. The clamps have sufficient hydraulic pressure to alter the shape of and calibrate out-of-round pipe ends to optimize circumferential aligned pipe-to-pipe fit-up within the ID pipe specification. Reducing the out-of-roundness of the pipe improves weld quality and ensures fewer cut outs and repairs.

By introducing the Hercules Clamps, you aim for the best possible, most reliable geometrical fit-up results. Within client, project and pre-set automated welding parameter HiLo requirements.
