What is a wrap around used for?

• A. Making lines around the circumference of a pipe
• B. Sealing joints
• C. Providing insulation
• D. Marking the weld seam

Answer: (A)

Wrap around is used to create a continuous reference line around the pipe. By encircling the pipe, you leave a mark that shows exactly where the weld seam should run, helping align and fit up the joint all the way around. It’s a guiding tool for locating the weld around the entire circumference, rather than sealing joints or insulating. This circumferential line ensures consistent bead placement and proper alignment around the pipe.
