ABSTRACT:
Tubular members which are to be joined by establishing a circumferential weld bead at abutting ends thereof are engaged by an internal clamp which defines a circumferential groove aligned with the weld zone. This circumferential groove, which is formed by cooperating surface grooves in a plurality of radially movable jaws, is filled with an inert gas during welding. The action of the jaws insures centering of the tubular members and prevents shrinkage and other misalignment during welding.
