ABSTRACT:
A vibration absorbing transmission tube isolation clamp which effectuates reduction of transmittance upon structures in communication with a tube being held by the clamp of side to side forces generated by thermal expansion of the tube as the tube transmits liquid under pressure. The clamp comprises a bottom piece securable to a support structure and a top piece securable to the bottom piece with the tube positioned between the two pieces which are shaped so that when secured together a tube housing results which totally surrounds the tube for the length of the clamp. The base of the bottom piece is provided with two or more elongated openings whose long axes are at right angles to and lateral to the longitudinal axis of the tube housing. In operation a bolt is passed through each elongated opening and further passed through a pre-positioned opening in the support structure to thereafter be secured to hold the bottom piece to the support structure while yet permitting side to side movement of the bottom piece on each shaft of each respective bolt within the limits of the elongated openings, thereby permitting side to side movement and thus reduction of transmittance to communicating structures of side to side forces due to thermal expansion of the tube held by the clamp while the tube transmits liquid. The underside of the base of the bottom piece is provided with a low coefficient of friction material so that side to side movement of the interfacing surfaces of the base and support structure is not impeded. Within the tube housing totally surrounding the tube is a vibration absorbing low coefficient of friction material to respectively absorb tube vibration and permit within the tube housing longitudinal movement of the operating tube.
