It is a type of weld produced around the outer surface of a cylindrical work piece. Circumferential welds are mainly used to fabricate structural pipes in the industries.
Circumferential Welding Fixtures are used to produce high-quality welds with minimum distortion on circumferential (girth) weld joints on a wide variety of parts and part shapes. The weld joints can have various joint configurations including butt, fillet, overlap, and joggle. Welding is performed from the external (top) side of weld joint.
