I-Clip shown in situ on a saddle clamp support. |
I-Clip retrofitted or pre-installed in Grinnell clamps. |
Description
I-Clip by Deepwater is an individual pipe support clip installed on the inside diameter of a pipe saddle (≤10 foot diameter). The clips themselves are mechanically held in place, allowing them to be retrofitted easily along existing pipe runs. New Grinnell and cradle-style supports can also be easily fitted with I-Clip systems. I-Clips are made out of a variety of materials, suited for elevated temperatures and large weight loads.
I-Clips are available to fit all standard size Grinnell clamps and pipe Saddles. I-Clips can be installed in new or existing pipe support clamps.
Applications
Pipe cradle retrofits
Large diameter band clamps
Concrete or timber pier supports
High load riser clamps
Key design points
Half-round shape
The half-round shape minimizes contact between the pipe and the support, eliminating the crevice. Keeping water out keeps corrosion at bay.
Maintenance
I-Clips also provides an electrically isolated stand-off between the pipe and the supporting beam or saddle clamp. This allows for easy maintenance and inspection, while preventing galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals (the pipe and support).
Durability
The I-Clip also has excellent compressive strength, UV stability, and a very low friction coefficient, ensuring reliable service for as long as the pipe requires it.
Specifications
Below are the basic specifications for I-Rod and T-Rod HT, the materials used to make the I-Clip. Deepwater has also begun to offer PEEK material for environments that prove too severe for either (though these instances are rather rare). For information on PEEK, or a specifications for any other aspect of Deepwater's pipe support systems, please contact Farwest Corrosion Control Company. |
