How to use a type C safety clamp

One of the most important instruments on the Rig Floor is the safety clamp type C. It prevents flush-joint pipe, streamlined drill collars, and other items from falling into the hole while making up or breaking out the string. It offers dozens of cost-cutting and time-saving applications in the oilfield, as well as more excellent protection against fishing jobs. Individual links are flexibly hinged together to form the Safety Clamp. Each link has its tapered slip that works as a gripping member, similar to a pointy rotary slip, and spring tension keeps each drop retracted on the taper. When the Clamp is tightened, each little slide grabs a solid hold on the pipe's surface. If the tube begins to fall or the load against the slips increases, the taper mounting forces each slip to wedge harder against the pipe's surface, increasing the grip or locking the tube against further movement.
