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

Page last modified

April 11 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.

Pros & Limitations

The Hercules Hydraulic ILC delivers 30 times the clamping force of standard pneumatic clamps

Innovation to improve quality, prevent bottlenecks, save costly delays and minimize project risk

The welding space between the pipes can be set. 0 – 6mm circumferential open or close the gap between the pipe faces

All functions operated with just the push of a button on the wireless remote control

Hercules clamps are manufactured in Holland and built for rugged use like heavy-duty pipeline spread operations

Easy and safe to operate with a wireless portable control for all functions

Innovation to alter the shape of out-of-round pipe ends for repeatable and reliable geometrical fit-up results

The hydraulic Red Ram Clamp is heavier in weight than a standard pneumatic clamp
