Aspects of the present disclosure relate to crane systems and pump manifold systems, and related methods, for pumping operations (such as frac operations). In one or more embodiments, a pump manifold system includes a plurality of connection blocks, a plurality of conduits coupled between the plurality of connection blocks, and a crane system. The crane system includes a base, and a first crane coupled to the base and configured to extend relative to a first side of the at least one conduit. The first crane is pivotable relative to the at least one conduit.

A pivot clip includes a substantially planar body defining an outside edge and an inside edge opposite the outside edge, the inside edge partially defining a notch; and a pair of arms extending from the inside edge, the notch formed between the pair of arms, the pair of arms angled relative to the substantially planar body such that the pair of arms are noncoplanar with the substantially planar body.

A hygienic clamp coupler is designed for the secure connection of flagged piping sections in fluid systems. The coupler features an innovative automatic locking mechanism and a remote-controlled unlocking mechanism, enhancing safety by mitigating the risk of accidental disassembly or exposure to dangerous energized fluids. Distinguished features of the coupler are its elongated wingnut, equipped with an axially elongated ratchet gear, and an embedded linear actuator that functions as a ratchet pawl, facilitating the automatic locking mechanism. The activation of the linear actuator allows for the controlled disengagement of the ratchet components, enabling the operator to remove the clamp.

A T-bolt clamp includes a circumferentially extending band and a fastening assembly that employs a T-bolt to tighten the clamp by turning a nut to draw loop ends of the band toward each other. One of the loop ends includes a slotted opening that permits a head of the T-bolt to be inserted and removed without removing the nut from the T-bolt. The fastening assembly is configured to constrain first and second bearing loops of the slotted loop end against movement away from each other during tightening of the clamp. Protrusions on the head of the T-bolt can be used to perform the constraining function by engaging slots in the bearing loops.

A clamp includes a closure mechanism and a band. The clamp can be a v-insert clamp. The band has a first metal layer and a second metal layer. The metal layers constitute a bi-metallic construction of the band. The metal layers can be composed of different stainless steel materials. The first metal layer possesses a first coefficient of thermal expansion, and the second metal layer possesses a second coefficient of thermal expansion. Values of the first coefficient of thermal expansion and of the second coefficient of thermal expansion differ relative to each other. The difference in value of the first and second coefficients of thermal expansion, and the position of the first and second metal layers relative to each other, can be effected in order to impart desired behavior of the band when experiencing a change in temperature.
