AOT Safety Clamps Type C
The AOT Type “C” Safety Clamp is one of the most valuable tools on the Rig Floor. It helps guard against dropping flush-joint pipe, streamlined
drill collars, etc. into the hole while making-up or breaking-out the string. These clamps are ideal as an emergency elevator shoulder for lifting
prepacked gravel liners, flush-joint pipe, twisted-off fish and similar items which have no shoulders for attaching conventional elevators. The
Type “C” Safety Clamp can be used as a “Slip and Elevator” combination when running large diameter surface casing or used for simplified
handling of drilling risers and casing heads during installation. Literally, it has dozens of money and time-saving applications in oilfield work,
in addition to giving increased protection against fishing jobs.
The Safety Clamp consists of individual links, flexibly hinged together. Each link has a separate tapered slip which acts as a gripping member,
much like a tapered rotary slip, and each slip is held in a retracted position on the taper by spring tension. When the clamp is tightened, each
small slip takes a firm initial grip on the surface of the pipe. Should the pipe start to fall, or should load increase occur against the slips, the
taper mounting causes each slip to wedge tighter against the surface of the pipe to increase the grip or lock the pipe against further
movement.
Gripping pressure is always uniform around the pipe so there is little danger of crushing thin-walled pipe or damaging the pipe surface. And,
since each link, complete with tapered slip, is interchangeable as a unit, the Safety Clamp is readily adaptable to virtually any diameter. Each
link changes the effective gripping diameter of the clamp one inch. All parts are made of alloy steel, heat-treated for strength and gripping
ability.
