FSR Flyer

The SPM® Flow Line Safety Restraint System is designed to reduce dangers from high-pressure flow line ruptures by restraining movement. It uses interlocking synthetic loops along the flow line attached to anchoring points to transmit separation forces away from the line. Extensive testing has demonstrated its effectiveness in containing ruptures on lines up to 4" and 15,000 PSI. Weir maintains a rental program and technicians to assist customers safely using the system on site.

The SPM® FSR system is available in a single duty rating, suitable for piping sizes up
to 4” with a pressure rating of 15,000 psi. The system is flexible enough for a variety
of flow line configurations and can be easily transported. All models are suitable for
energized fluid, CO2 and nitrogen operations.

Demonstrated Performance
The SPM® FSR system has been used in both onshore and offshore
applications around the world since 2000 to increase safety during
pumping operations. It has been tested and honored by the industry
for its innovation and performance.
• “Best Mechanical Engineering Innovation Award” from the
American Society of Mechanical Engineering in 2002
• Accepted by WorkSafeBC (the Workers’ Compensation Board of
British Columbia) as in compliance with a government mandate
that flow line piping be anchored and restrained during well
testing or stimulation operations
• Mandated by several major E&P companies for use during
pumping operations
Additionally, Weir recently reinvested almost $500,000 into practical Comparative assembly testing results
performance testing of this product line. In conjunction with an
independent third party research institute, Weir has demonstrated
this product’s first in class technical design and confirmed its
position as the market leader through side-by-side comparative
assembly (see chart above) and destructive field testing.

SPM® FSR Rental Program


Weir maintains a fleet of rental FSR units at its strategically located service centers around the globe for
onsite delivery. The rental fleet undergoes inspection so that all components are ready when needed and meet
performance standards. Each component features 3 identification and inspection badges indicating that it is in
accordance with regulations. Rental storage trailers are also available to store and organize the SPM® FSR system
and make transport of component parts safe and convenient to the customer’s work site. Trained Weir technicians
are available to provide on-site rig up and tear down services.
