ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure is directed to a portable elongate frame made of multiple lengthwise stringers which support the pipe testing apparatus. The frame has upper and lower stringers which are laced together by cross connected braces, and said stringers assemble into an elongate structure having first and second carriages at opposite ends thereof. The two carriages support first and second test heads for the pin and box of the joint. They are equipped with resilient members which squeeze against the pipe, contact the joint on the interior on the pin end, and on the exterior at the coupling at the box end. The structure is formed of multiple lengthwise stringers, the stringers at one side being hinged, and the stringers at the opposite side being released by a latch means to enable the structure to be folded into two equal portions for easy mounting behind a tow vehicle connected therewith by a V-shaped trailer hitch.
