GENERAL INFORMATION
Note: It is critical that, since most SPM
®
products generate,
control or direct pressurized fluids, those who work with these
products be thoroughly trained in their proper application and
safe handling. It is also critical that these products be used and
maintained properly.
GENERAL:
SPM
®
FSRs are intended to help contain high-pressure piping
and flow line components in case of rupture or excessive impulse
during the pumping process. When flow lines fail, whether it is
due to excessive pressure, faulty connections, worn components,
trauma to the piping connections, or otherwise, the results can be
devastating and catastrophic to both equipment and people. The
metal components that were previously being subjected to up to
20,000 psi of internal pressure are suddenly and instantly forced
to relieve themselves of the stored energy. In a failure there could
be hundreds or even thousands of pounds of iron pipe flailing
about in an unrestrained condition. In that scenario, there is a high
likelihood of severe personal injury or death. SPM
®
FSRs were
designed to reduce, but do not eliminate, that risk.
SPM
®
FSR is available in two different application configurations:
non-waterproof and waterproof. The waterproof version may be
desired in applications where increase in weight due to absorption
of water from the surrounding environment is a concern.
Waterproof and non-waterproof SPM
®
FSR components are both
rated to their listed duty rating.
IDENTIFICATION:
SPM
®
Safety Restraints are permanently identified on each of the
individual components. All metal components have full traceability.
The restraint components are identified with their VENDOR
ID (Weir SPM), PART NUMBER, SIZE, SERIAL NUMBER and
WATERPROOF (if applicable) recorded on the label permanently
attached to each restraint. NOTE: If this tag becomes removed
from component part or is no longer legible, discard restraint.
