PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clamping device for preventing separation, in preparation for crack generation in a slip joint coupling of a core spray pipe. SOLUTION: A slip joint coupling clamp is disclosed which structurally fixes cracked welded joints in the slip joint coupling. The clamp assembly includes a primary clamp housing and a secondary clamp housing, which are rotationally joined together by a hinge assembly including a hinge pin. The clamp assembly is installed at a desired elevation relative to a downcomer slip joint 26, and then secured to the downcomer piping by installing coupling bolts and associated bolt keeper nuts that hold the primary and secondary clamp housings in a facing relationship to one another around the downcomer slip joint 26.
