Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment, specifically to a pipe external welding butt joint device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, during pipeline construction, multiple pipe sections need to be welded end-to-end on the ground before being buried in the soil. Pipe alignment tools are commonly used during welding to align the two pipe ends. However, the positioning blocks inside existing alignment tools are mostly made of steel, which can easily damage the outer wall of the pipe when clamping it. Inverting the pipe reduces its lifespan and makes it more prone to corrosion. Furthermore, existing alignment tools lack a stable base at the bottom, making them prone to tipping over during placement and hindering transportation. Utility Model Content
