The Mathey Dearman Fit-Up Pro Protractor (D271) is a versatile tool designed to enhance precision in welding and pipefitting applications. While primarily functioning as a protractor for angle measurements, it can also serve as a spacing wedge when used with Mathey Dearman clamps, offering dual functionality in pipe fit-up processes.
Measuring 8"x1 1/2"x1/4" (203x38x6.4mm), this protractor is engineered to provide accurate angle measurements and, when necessary, can be used to create precise weld gaps. When used as a spacing wedge, it enables welders to achieve better fit-up of pipe ends by allowing for precise adjustment of the weld gap. The process involves moving pipe ends together, mounting and tightening the chain clamp or cage clamp, and then using this tool to spread the gap to the desired width.
The wedge portion of this tool, when used for spacing, is case hardened, ensuring long-lasting durability even under frequent use in demanding welding environments. Importantly, the thinner part is designed to be soft enough to prevent splintering, enhancing safety and maintaining the integrity of the pipe surfaces during the fit-up process.
