ABSTRACT:
A weld spring clip used to tack weld two pipes together using a tungsten inert gas welder and a shield gas includes a reflector that can be inserted within a weld seam using a handle. The reflector, which is attached to an arm and a handle, is positioned beneath the desired weld site on the interior of the pipes. The handle biases the clip in place on the pipe at the seam, and a point on the end of the reflector assists in aligning the reflector at the seam. In position, the reflector reflects the shield gas toward the interior of the weld site. By reflecting the shield gas, oxidation along the interior surface of the weld site is prevented, and the need for a back gas is eliminated.
