Abstract: A core for a fire rated door includes an extruded fire resistant material, a filler material and a panel. The extruded fire resistant material has a first raised portion, a second raised portion and a lower portion that extends from a first end to a second end. The first raised portion has a first thickness and a first width that extends from the first side to the lower portion. The lower portion has a second thickness. The second raised portion has the first thickness and a second width that extends from the second side to the lower portion. The filler material is disposed above the lower portion of the extruded fire resistant material between the first raised portion and the second portion. The panel is attached to the first raised portion and the second raised portion of the extruded fire resistant material and covers the filler material.

Abstract: A clamp for an oil well line is disclosed, the clamp having a casing, typically a pair of wedge members defining a line receiving recess between them and wherein the wedge member are movable within a channel in the casing to move together and grip the line when axial force is applied to the line. The radially outermost faces of the wedge members are typically shaped to match the taper of the channel in the casing, and so are pressed together as they move axially down the tapered channel. One wall of the channel is typically movable to disengage from the wedge member when the gripping force is to be removed. The line-receiving recess can be in the form of an arc or a dog leg, and can be lined with a high friction material or a softer material to minimize damage to the line by the clamping force.

Abstract: A retaining member 16 is provided for use with a frame 10 for packaging elongate members, such as sections of tubular, for example casing, liner or drill pipe. The retaining member 16 comprises a pressure plate 18 on which is mounted a pair of pivoting hooks 20 for engaging with protrusions 36 formed on the frame 10. The hooks 20 are connected to threaded rods 28 received in a sleeve 30. A ratcheted handle 34 allows selective rotation of the sleeve 30 to draw the rods 28 therein, and so to pivot the hooks 20 to urge the pressure plate 18 against members received within the frame 10. A quick release mechanism is provided to allow easy release of the hooks 20 and the retaining member 16.

Abstract: A device for passing through pipelines comprises a cylindrical structure with a flexible cylindrical sleeve firmly located around the outer curved dimension of the structure, the sleeve being capable of expansion by internal fluid pressure within an annular chamber formed in part by the sleeve and having at least one fluid connection accessible at an axial end of the structure.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus, having a motor, a rotatable scouring head, an inflatable collar, a frame fixed to the motor and collar, a swivel coupling on the frame, and a conduit for supplying fluid under pressure to the inflatable collar through the swivel coupling, is introduced into a pipe to be cleaned. The collar is inflated to fill the pipe cross-section. Fluid is then supplied under pressure into the pipe to propel the apparatus through the pipe and to actuate the motor thereby rotating the scouring head which scours the inner wall of the pipe.
