Figure 185: A diagram illustrating the tool offest with<br />

respect to the highest point of the rotating pipe sections. The offset is parallel to the weld<br />

seam and results in the desired contact condition. This offset configuration reduced<br />

vibration and improved weld quality in comparison to the case without offset.<br />
