Type “C” Safety Clamps
Texas International Oilfield Tools (TIOT) offers safety clamps for tubing (T) and casing (C). Multipurpose (MP) safety clamps are adjustable to a variety of tubular. The clamp has its own box with a nut wrench and an allen wrench. Manual clamps are equipped with screw and nut combination. The nut secures the clamp around the pipe and should be tightened with the supplied nut wrench. The clamp grips uniformly by design. The individual links give the clamp flexibility to wrap around the pipe and the inserts are spring loaded. See Specification tables on pages 5 through 7 for size ranges.
The safety clamps are not designed to hold or hoist the string weight – use in conjunction with slips The end user determines the clamping torque necessary to prevent marking/damaging tubular. Clamps are also available in an air over hydraulic configuration, which install easier and faster without a nut or wrench and use rig air (125 psi). The hydraulic safety clamp operates using a foot or hand actuated pump.
Ensure clamps are properly sized for the tubular in operation.
