Corrosion reducing minimum contact clamp for supporting and securing tubing

Номер: US20140319290A1
Принадлежит: Atmar Keith ROBERT, Jr.

Tubing clamps having a minimum contact area between the tubes and the clamps supporting surfaces are provided for minimizing the collection and retaining of liquids at the supporting surfaces. A predetermined minimum spacing is maintained between the tubes supported by the tubing clamps while maintaining sufficient ventilation between the tubes and the clamps to permit drying of any liquids which contact the tubes and the clamps at the support points. This prevents electrolysis and corrosion caused by liquid retention and contact of dissimilar metals. Further, the tubing clamps are readily adapted to secure tubes of different outer diameters in a single row or multiple rows, such as in a stacked configuration. The clamps are provided with upper and lower supports, each having matching grooves that have chamfered edges forming the upper and lower tubing contact surfaces. The supports are secured together with fasteners to clamp the tubing therebetween.
