  • Patent number: 6863248
    Abstract: A pipeline support for supporting a pipeline along its longitudinal axis comprised of a first and second longitudinally extending cylindrical supports supported on transversely extending threaded rods. The first support is fixed at one end of the transversely extending rods and the second support is movable along the rods, toward and away from the first support, so that the contact surface between the pipeline surface and the support surface may be moved and adjusted to inspect for corrosion or other defects. The pipeline support is designed so that the space between the first and second supports may be adjusted from one side of the pipeline only.
