They all have forklift pockets and lifting lugs and are supplied with lifting slings.
They can be certified DNV 2.7-1 as an option.
Their capacity depends on the piping set that has to be stored (diameter and quantity).
Tie-down-clamps
Accessories supplied
The Tie-down clamp is one of the piping accessories supplied by Fluid Control Europe. The use of tie-down clamps may protect against severe damage and serious personal injury in case of unexpected failure under pressure and flowing conditions.
Options:
- With or without shackle.
- Cable can be supplied to client request.
ACME thread proctectors
Incorrectly tighten union because of damaged threads makes the use and operation unsafe. Essential care by protecting threads during handling will improve your safety level. Hard plastic ACME thread protectors for wing unions are available.
