ABSTRACT:
In a pipe whip restraint system for limiting movement of a high-pressure pipe, in the event of the breaking or rupturing of it, an energy absorbing device for restraining movement of the pipe, and a collar adapted to be attached to the pipe or other object to be restrained, the energy absorbing device being connected at one of its ends to the collar and at its opposite end being adapted to be anchored to a substantially immovable support structure or wall disposed adjacent the pipe. The device includes a first elongated member having a hollow portion therein and a second member mounted within the hollow portion of the first member. One of the first and second members has its front end fixedly connected to the collar, and the other one of the members has its rear end adapted to be fixedly connected to the support structure. The first member includes a first interference means and the second member includes a second interference means for engaging forceable the first interference means and for continuing relative movement therebetween for energy absorbing purposes until the members come to rest.
