PIPE SUPPORT PLATE

摘要

A pipe support plate configured to secure a bread-loaf type pipe support to a support structure to provide a greater level of safety and efficiency during the inspection repair, and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines. The pipe support plate includes a rounded bottom end, a rounded top end, and first and second sides extending between the rounded top end and the rounded bottom end and defining a plane. The plane includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The pipe support plate also includes a first curved edge member extending substantially perpendicularly from the first side and a second curved edge member extending substantially perpendicularly from the second side. The first curved edge member and the second curved edge member are configured to confine and secure a pipe support on the upper surface of the plane of the pipe support plate.
