What is a Pipe Clamp?

A pipe clamp is a metallic attachment that encircles a pipe, securely connecting it to a piping system’s structure. These clamps provide a tight and stable grip, ensuring pipes remain aligned and securely positioned in various configurations and environments. This is critical for maintaining the efficiency and safety of fluid transport systems. Pipe clamps are essential components that ensure the structural integrity and operational reliability of both commercial and industrial piping systems.

RedLineIPS Pipe Clamps

In broad terms, a pipe clamp serves as a crucial pipe attachment, encircling the pipe to connect it to the overall piping support structure (beam, wood, concrete, etc.). This connection is instrumental in resisting various forces that the pipe or the piping system may encounter.

Most clamps are crafted from a steel plate, bent to a radius and bolted around a pipe. Configurations can vary from a two-bolt clamp that can be welded to a steel base or bolted to a rod hanger, all the way to a hold down clamp which is bolted to a support structure and could incorporate rubber liner material and a baseplate.

Clamps serve a multifaceted role in supporting and hanging pipes by restraining them vertically and horizontally, allowing axial movement, preventing unwanted motion, and reducing vibrations caused by fluid flow or rotating equipment. RedLineIPS Pipe Clamps are engineered for versatile applications, providing a weld-free solution for restraining, supporting, or hanging pipes. They can incorporate the use of various non-metallic liners, preventing corrosion, minimizing vibration and noise, and ensuring smooth system operation with enhanced stability. Common applications include supporting pipes, suspending them from above, and attaching them to pipe shoes or other support structures to enhance the reliability of piping systems. These challenges find adept solutions in the form of RedLineIPS Pipe Clamps, categorized as follows:

RedLineIPS Hold Down Clamps: Vibration Management

RedLineIPS Hold Down Clamps excel in scenarios with high vibration potential, such as applications involving reciprocating compressors and pumps. They uniquely restrain pipes both vertically and horizontally, while allowing axial movement. Customizable with slotted holes, they facilitate controlled horizontal shifts, providing flexibility without compromising stability.

To address vibration-induced issues, these clamps can incorporate vibration-dampening materials at the interface with the pipe. Elastomeric liners, recognized for their exceptional dampening properties, significantly reduce vibration impact. Explore more about our RedLineIPS liners here.

In cases requiring minimized coefficient of friction for smooth axial movement, a PTFE liner can be incorporated on both the clamp and baseplate. Working in tandem with the vibration-dampening material, this combination ensures stability and enhanced axial maneuverability.

RedLineIPS Hold Down Clamps, meticulously manufactured by Cogbill, offer a diverse array of designs and configurations. Tailored to specific needs, these clamps are available in Carbon, Stainless, or other alloy steel, with optional liner materials aligning with varied piping infrastructure demands.

RedLineIPS Clamp-On Pipe Shoes & Adjustable Supports w/Clamps

RedLineIPS Clamp-On Pipe Shoes present a solution engineered for optimal pipe support. This configuration, where pipe clamps add functionality that a welded pipe shoe cannot offer, includes benefits such as:

• Eliminating the need to weld the shoes to the pipe, allowing for weld-free installation of these pipe shoes.
• Enabling better restraint and the ability for future adjustments.
• Allowing the installation of liner material onto the clamp, mitigating corrosion, vibration, and noise, thus improving piping system’s overall integrity and lifespan.

For more information about our clamp-on shoes and all available variations of RedLineIPS pipe shoes, visit our pipe shoes page.

Similar to integrating clamps with pipe shoes to eliminate the need for field welding, the same is done with adjustable pipe supports. While pipe shoes do not offer height adjustability, adjustable supports do, offering a vastly superior ability for proper pipe alignment and accommodate unforeseen physical changes in the piping system.
