Anblak Pipe Center Finder | Precision Pipe Fitting Tool with Dial Bubble Protractor

Overview

The Anblak Pipe Center Finder is a compact, economical measuring tool designed to support centerline work, angle assessment, and precise point marking for pipes and tanks. It accommodates diameters starting at 1/2 inch, helping you locate centerlines, determine angles, and establish fixed marking points with consistent results.

Far from a simple marker, this tool combines a bendable, heat‑resistant seating with a 4 inch Y‑type base and a dial bubble protractor (DSL). Its design invites smooth handling in tight spaces, whether you’re aligning components for butt‑ins or planning a keyway layout. The goal is to offer reliable guidance that fits into a typical pipefitting or welding workflow without demanding a bulky setup.

Core capabilities

• Center-line marking and angle assessment on pipes and tanks, helping you plan cuts and joints with greater confidence.
• Marking points inside pipes or tanks, locating keyways, and calculating declivity for layout work.
• Diameter compatibility from 1/2 inch upward, enabling use across common piping sizes.
• Durable, flexible construction built to wrap around pipe circumferences for steady measurement on the go.
• 4 inch Y‑type base with an adjustable dial bubble protractor for straightforward horizontal alignment and angle estimation.

How to use

1. Loosen or tighten the hexagonal nut with the included hex key to set resistance and stability.
2. Place the tool on the pipe and choose your desired angle or centerline.
3. Push the center column down to the fixed point position you want to mark.
4. Tap with a hammer to leave a fixed point mark for subsequent cutting or welding.

Design and durability

• The tool is made from a sturdy, heat‑resistant gasket material that can wrap around pipes for reliable marking and measurement.
• The 4 inch Y‑type base with a DSL enables controlled, repeatable positioning, ideal for pipe welding and alignment tasks.
• Printed scales include inches, an inch chart, and a tangent chart to aid quick reference during on‑site work.

Practical use cases

• Center-line and angle layout for butt joints, flanges, and welded connections.
• Point location inside pipes or tanks for mounting components or securing fixtures.
• Keyway layout, declivity calculations, and straight‑line guidance around curved surfaces.
• General pipefitting and welding workflows where quick, repeatable center marks matter.

Notes for accuracy

When judging horizontal alignment, keep the green bubble centered between the two lines on the protractor. For angle determination, ensure the bubble remains horizontal regardless of the angle you’re measuring.

While the tool supports efficient workflow and repeatable results, outcomes depend on technique and site conditions. Consider it a practical aid that can streamline alignment decisions as part of your existing process.
