Retrofit Clamp For Mux, Umbilicals And Iwocs

US Patent:
2011018, Aug 4, 2011
Filed:
Jan 28, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/016212
Inventors:
Barry McMiles - Katy TX, US
Thomas Cates - Houston TX, US
International Classification:
F16L 3/08
US Classification:
248 65
Abstract:
A clamp for placement about a riser having an assembly with a housing for releasably engaging at least one strap, the strap having a first and second end wherein the first and second ends are releasably attached to the housing, a plate on the housing for selectively engaging the first and second ends of the strap; and a support operably connected to the housing for releasably holding MUX, IWOC and other umbilical cables used in subsea applications. The housing may have two straps for engagement to a riser that shorten and lengthen by the turning of a screw through a plate engaged to the straps. The clamp may also have a hinged or fixed circular member for attachment around the riser. The cables are held by a hinged attachment to the housing that forms cylindrical vertical openings upon closure of the hinge.

Soft Shift Spm Valve

US Patent:
2021031, Oct 7, 2021
Filed:
Jun 21, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/344662
Inventors:
- Houston TX, US
Thomas A Cates - Houston TX, US
International Classification:
F16K 47/02
E21B 34/02
E21B 34/04
F16K 11/07
E21B 33/035
Abstract:
A subplate mounted valve is disclosed having an open position and a closed position. The valve includes at least one pilot pressure intake port, a plurality of functional fluid ports, a spool movable between the open position and the closed position, and spring biasing the spool to either the open position or the closed position. To reduce water hammer due to quickly opening or quickly closing the valve, a flow regulation assembly is positioned at the pilot pressure intake port and has a chamber with a larger inlet channel at the intake position and transitioning to a smaller channel at the outlet position such that fluid flow at the intake port is reduced, thereby slowing the transition between the open position and the closed position and the transition between the closed position and the open position.
