A cable cleat assembly secures a bundle of cables to a ladder rack. The cable cleat assembly includes a base and two side bodies. Each side body is pivotally mounted to one of the ends of the base. Each side body has a first end, a middle section, and a second end. The first end of each side body includes a mounting member. The mounting member has a peg extending from each side of the mounting member. The pegs are mounted in the base to enable the side bodies to pivot from an open position to a closed position.

Clamping device (1) for axially blocking an axial-symmetrical body (CA); the clamping device (1) comprising at least a support (10) of given angular extension, provided with a plurality of laminar bodies (20) extending longitudinally in a given direction (D), each of which being incorporated in a substantially cylindrical interface (22) (23) made of deformable material so as to copy the outer shape of the axial-symmetrical body (CA) and to generate the tangential force in radial manner; each laminar body (20) having a toothed transverse face (24) to interact superficially with the axial-symmetrical body (CA); the laminar bodies (20) being carried by the support (10) through elongated members (30)(30).

A method protects a field joint of a pipeline, where chamfered edges of thermally-insulating parent coatings on conjoined pipe lengths are in mutual opposition about a longitudinally-extending gap. The method includes manufacturing an hourglass-shaped inner layer around the pipe lengths, which layer may be moulded. The inner layer extends longitudinally along the gap between the chamfered edges and at least partially overlies the chamfered edges. A thermally-insulating solid insert is assembled from two or more parts to lie in the gap surrounding the inner layer, and pressure is applied radially inwardly from the insert to the inner layer. An outer layer of molten material is manufactured around the insert to form a watertight barrier and to form one or more melted interfaces with the inner layer. Corresponding field joint arrangements are also disclosed.

A bracket assembly for securing a plurality of conduits includes a base including at least one recess, the recess defined by a bottom surface and a pair of side surfaces and a securing member configured to mate with the base and extend across the recess to form a conduit-receiving area. The bracket assembly also includes at least one adapter coupled to the recess to reduce the size of the conduit-receiving area.

The invention relates to devices for attaching a temperature sensor to a pipe, comprising a first and second jaw for contacting the pipe; and a head slidably mounted between the jaws and having a third engaging portion for contacting the pipe and for retaining a first temperature sensor, the head being moveable between a closed position and an open position, in which the third engaging portion is closer to the first and second jaws in the closed position than in the open position. The jaws are moveable between closed and open configurations, in which the jaws are closer to one another in the closed configuration than in the open configuration. Motion of the jaws and the head is coupled so that the open configuration of the jaws corresponds to the open position of the head and the closed configuration of the jaws corresponds to the closed position of the head. The device may be arranged to bias the first temperature sensor against the pipe in the closed configuration. The invention also relates to a system of markings for indicating to a user whether the device is correctly attached to the pipe, in the form of bands, helixes, etc.

An insulating insert is positioned around a field joint of a pipeline to insulate the field joint. The insert comprises a longitudinal series of annular or part-annular filler segments of insulating material, curved about a longitudinal axis, that are each joined to one or more adjacent segments of the series by at least one link. The links may be webs, rods or articulated links. The links are flexible relative to the segments to facilitate bending of the insert along its length by enabling relative angular displacement between adjacent segments of the series.

A double gripper for gripping and handling cable ends of two cables of a twisted cable harness in a fitting station for provisioning plug housings includes two gripper jaws each with an upper member arranged above a lower jaw member. The double gripper further includes two engagement members arranged between the upper and lower jaw members with which the cables are supported. The engagement members can be moved independently from the gripper jaws. A distance between the cables can be varied by moving the engagement members between the cables transverse to longitudinal axes of the cables. Each of the engagement members is formed as a wedge with at least one effective wedge surface.

A creep resistant material comprises a core layer (12) of rigid polyurethane with a first tensile reinforcement layer (17) applied on one surface and a second tensile reinforcement layer (17) applied on the other opposed surface of the core layer, the entire respective first and second tensile reinforcement layers being in contact with the first and second surface of the core layer of the material.

One embodiment provides a method and apparatus for suspending air conditioning duct works from a support structure comprising unistrut type support beams which apparatus includes a plurality of support brackets arranged and configured for being slidably interlockable with the interior of the unistrut beam members. The support brackets can be slid inside the interior of the support beam until adjacent a support beam which support beam can be connected to the support bracket. In like manner additional support brackets can be inserted into the interior of the support beam members to be adjustably located next to their respective support rod. In such manner multiple support rods can be used to support a frame member even where the support rods are not symmetrically located along the length of the support beam as the support bracket can be slid/moved inside the support beam until lining up with its respective support rod. Additionally, the entire support framework can be moved relative to the plurality of support rods by sliding the framework relative to the support brackets. In such manner the location of the supporting frame member can be changed without moving the support rods.
