A pipe support device for a transformer is proposed. A brace having a grid shape and serving as a reinforcing member is provided on the surface of an outer housing constituting the exterior of the transformer. Supports are installed at predetermined intervals on the brace to be orthogonal thereto. A support base is positioned on each of the supports, and a pipe holder is coupled to the support base to support a pipe. An elastic supporting pad is positioned between the support base and the pipe and opposite flange portions of the pipe holder are seated on and coupled to the elastic supporting pad. An elastic close-contact pad is positioned between the pipe and an arched portion of the pipe holder and is brought into close contact with the pipe.

A clamp can be configured to secure a circular object and can include a first clamp member and a second clamp member. The first clamp member can include a first clamp portion and the second clamp member can include a second clamp portion. The first clamp portion and the second clamp portion can be configured to receive the circular object therebetween, and to secure the circular object within the clamp with the second clamp member nested with the first clamp member.

Example aspects of a pipe clamp and a method for attaching a pipe clamp to a pipe are disclosed. The pipe clamp can comprise a first clamp segment defining an inner surface, an outer surface, a first side, and a second side, the inner surface defining a first semi-cylindrical wall; a second clamp segment defining an inner surface, an outer surface, a first side, and a second side, the inner surface defining a second semi-cylindrical wall, the first semi-cylindrical wall and second semi-cylindrical wall defining a cylindrical void wall, the cylindrical void wall defining a void, the void configured to receive a pipe extending therethrough; and a plurality of projections monolithically formed with and extending from the cylindrical void wall, wherein the plurality of projections are spaced apart in a circumferential row around the cylindrical void wall.

An isolation element for a riser clamp has two opposed clamp halves made of metal strip. Each of said clamp halves has a semi-circular section placed opposite each other against a riser pipe extending through a passage hole in a floor. The clamp halves have at the ends of its semi-circular section outwardly extending clamp flanges to be tightened towards the corresponding opposing clamp flanges of the other clamp half. The riser clamp is in use supported from beneath by a support structure. The isolation element includes a profile of vibration isolating material including a pad portion, which pad portion in use is located below the corresponding clamp flange for resiliently supporting it, and further including at least one upstanding portion extending along the corresponding clamp flange, wherein said upstanding portion is attachable to the corresponding clamp flange.

An irrigation pipe and method of fabrication that utilizes a pipe that is made of a durable material, e.g., stainless steel or aluminum. During fabrication, the pipe is equipped with a plurality of components, i.e., a flange assembly, a truss mount, and an outlet, without drilling, welding, or the like. In this manner, a method of fabrication is provided that enables a plurality of components to be assembled to the pipe without compromising the integrity of the pipe material or treated surface so that galvanizing or painting is not required after the plurality of components have been fitted to the pipe.

A coupling used to connect structural tubing includes segments surrounding a central space which receives the tubing. Teeth on an inner surface of the segments project toward the central space and form zones of deformation in the tubing upon engagement with the tubes' outer surfaces. Ends of the tubing abut one or more tongues on the inner surface, and observation apertures in the segments permit visual confirmation that the tubing is seated. Relief pockets on the inner surfaces of the segments receive portions of the tubing which deform outwardly. An insert may be present in the central space. The insert defines a space between itself and the inner surfaces of the segments which receives the tubing. The insert has relief channels which receive deformed regions of the tubing corresponding to the zones of deformation.
