Pipe clamp

Pipe clamps after MSS SP-58. Two-bolt clamp (Type 4): two formed straps with a load bolt above and a bolt below the pipe. Three-bolt clamp (Type 3): long upper ears with a load bolt and a spacer bolt, for heavier or insulated lines. Both hang on a weldless eye nut and threaded rod from a lug on a short beam. Riser clamp: two bent bars bolted across a vertical pipe with ears bearing on channel supports. Strap, bolt and rod sizes follow typical light-series tables.

Installation

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add pipe-clamp

Copies piping/pipe-clamp.tsx and the shared lib/ into src/components/deck-twin/. Needs three, @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. See installation for the manual route.

Usage

import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
import { OrbitControls } from '@react-three/drei'
import { Stage } from './components/deck-twin/lib/stage'
import { PipeClamp } from './components/deck-twin/piping/pipe-clamp'

export default function Scene() {
  return (
    <Canvas shadows camera={{ position: [8, 5, 9], fov: 35 }}>
      <Stage>
        <PipeClamp />
      </Stage>
      <OrbitControls makeDefault />
    </Canvas>
  )
}

P&ID

P&ID symbol for pipe-clamp

Not on P&IDs. On support drawings and isometrics a hanger is marked at the support point with its type (e.g. a rod hanger with a clamp, MSS type 3 or 4), and in detail the pipe circle is shown gripped by the clamp straps hanging from a rod.

tag HGRPiping support convention (isometric / support detail); MSS SP-58 / SP-69

A clamp hanging on a rod is a hanger; a shoe on steel is a pipe-support. Riser clamps carry vertical pipe at floor penetrations.

For agents

Machine-readable entry with props, ranges, defaults and ports:

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info pipe-clamp

Or fetch /r/pipe-clamp.json, or copy a ready-made instruction:

Add the Deck Twin "Pipe clamp" component to this project. Run `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add pipe-clamp` (it copies the file and the shared lib into src/components/deck-twin/), then `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info pipe-clamp` for its props, ranges and ports. Render <PipeClamp /> inside a React Three Fiber <Canvas shadows>, wrapped in <Stage> from src/components/deck-twin/lib/stage. Set props from my data (metres, NPS in inches, ASME class) and leave the rest at defaults. Install three, @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei and @types/three if they're missing.
