SAFETY CLAMPS

The BVM Type T (tubing) Safety Clamp is one of the most valuable tools on the Rig Floor. They are used to guard against dropping flush joint pipe, stream line drill collars, fishing tools, pre-pack gravel liners, wash pipe, etc.. 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.

The safety clamps are not designed to hold or hoist the string weight – use in conjunction with slips.

Safety clamps are a convenient way to secure flush tubular products during installation. The MP clamp can act as the last resort, when a piece of tubular slips through the slips. Especially in combination with hand slips, the clamp will land on top of the slips, adding extra push down force to the slips and thus stopping the tubular from slipping through the slip. They are designed and manufactured according to API Spec 7K

The safety clamps are not designed to hold or hoist the string weight – use in conjunction with slips.

Type "C" Safety Clamp is one of the most valuable tools on the Rig Floor. They are used to guard against dropping flush joint pipe, stream line drill collars, fishing tools, pre-pack gravel liners, wash pipe, etc.

By attaching hold down ears and using the clamp upside down, the clamp can be used as a holddown against floatation of surface pipe while cementing.  Tapered Type Gripping Action: Each link has a separate tapered insert which is spring loaded. They act as individual gripping members. Using this wedge type gripping action: The harder the pull, the more they grip to avoid further movement.  Adjusting for Different Pipe Diameters: The safety clamp consists of individual links, flexibly hinged together creating a uniform gripping pressure so that there is little danger of crushing thin wall pipe.

Safety clamps are not designed to hold or hoist the string weight – use in conjunction with slips. Note: Type CL are double screw.
