  • Patent number: 10240692
    Abstract: A fastening-type pipe supporting apparatus capable of supporting a curved pipe against loads acting on a curved portion of the pipe via clamps having curved surfaces and being easily attached to and detached from the curved portion of the pipe. The fastening-type pipe supporting apparatus includes: a first clamp having a semicircular cross-sectional shape and a curved surface with a curvature to surround the curved portion of a pipe; a second clamp having a semicircular cross-sectional shape and a curved surface with a curvature to surround the curved portion of the pipe, the second clamp being coupled to the first clamp; a connection bolt coupling the first clamp with the second clamp; and a washer placed around the connection bolt.

  • Patent number: 8495920
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring load acting on pipe supports, the apparatus including a load cell which includes a contact portion contacting a pipe, and a measuring portion for measuring load acting from the pipe; and a gap sensor which measures a gap between the pipe support and the pipe, which is generated by a movement of the contact portion, wherein the load acting on the pipe support is measured based on the load measured by the load cell and the gap measured by the gap sensor.
