  • Impact energy absorbing pipe restraints
    Patent number: 4101117
    Abstract: Impact energy absorbing pipe restraints are provided which include a laminated strap for surrounding at least a portion of the circumference of a high energy pipe to restrain the movement of the high energy pipe in at least one direction during rupture. The laminated strap is formed of a ductile material, i.e., one having the property of substantial elongation in the plastic state, to absorb the impact energy of the ruptured pipe. Advantageously, an elastic anchor means is affixed to the ends of the laminated strap to anchor the laminated strap about the high energy pipe and enable pivotal movement of the laminated strap relative to the high energy pipe to minimize any bending moment at the ends of the laminated strap, thereby minimizing any detraction in the allowable strain of the laminated strap.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 1976
    Date of Patent: July 18, 1978
    Assignee: Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation
    Inventors: George H. East, Jr., Norman A. Goldstein, John M. Peech, Shelden D. Pirotin, Robert E. Roemer, Albert J. Spada
