TUBING CLAMP ASSEMBLY

摘要

A clamp assembly provides an attachment point for securely gripping pipe or other tubular goods including, without limitation, a section of coiled tubing. The clamp assembly beneficially includes a pad-eye member for attaching the clamp assembly (and any attached tubing) to a hook of a crane or other lifting mechanism. The clamp assembly also prevents partially unspooled coiled tubing from re-winding through a winding guide of a spool, thereby maintaining a distal outer end of the coiled tubing in an easily accessible location.

主权项

1. A clamp assembly for gripping an external surface of pipe or other tubular goods comprising:
a) a central pad-eye member having at least one aperture adapted to be connected to a lifting apparatus; b) a first half member pivotally attached to said central pad-eye member having a first substantially semi-cylindrical inner surface; c) a second half member pivotally attached to said central pad-eye member having a second substantially semi-cylindrical inner surface, wherein said first and second half members can be biased toward each other so that said first and second inner surfaces cooperate to form a substantially cylindrical bore; d) a plurality of gripping teeth disposed on said first and second inner surfaces.
