ABSTRACT:
An alignment clamp for aligning a pair of tubular members in a fixed, end to end relationship comprises a first clamp section having a pair of substantially semiannular first clamp members with first latch ends and first pivot ends, a second clamp section having a pair of substantially semiannular second clamp members with second latch ends and second pivot ends pivotally connected to the first pivot ends, and a latch mechanism operable by a hand lever to releasably engage recessed surfaces at each of the first and second latch ends. According to another aspect of the invention, a method of aligning a pair of tubular members in a fixed, end to end relationship employs clamping fingers which project from clamp members of the first and second clamp sections.
