Depending on the size and length of Casing Pipe, Load to be sustained by casing clamp is ascertained. Clamp is tightened on the Pipe welded to base plate, using torque wrench.
Load is applied on each side of clamp through Hydraulic Jack connected to hydraulic pump, till required load is reached. The grip should not loose hold on pipe up to ascertained load. The set up is as shown in typical sketch on the right side above.

For 7" & 9-5/8" casing clamps Load to be sustained is 100 tons and hence 2 hydraulic Jacks of 50 tons capacity each are provided. Based on dia. of piston, area is calculated to find out hydraulic pressure to be applied for reaching the required load. This is approx. 7044 psi for piston area of 15.90 sq. in. of hydraulic jack of 50 tons capacity.

RESULTS: CLAMPS HAS SUCCESSFULLY PASSED THE TEST AND SUSTAINED 100 TONS OF LOAD.
