PT&P specially designed and manufactured a heavy duty, 40-inch diameter, alloy yoke clamp (cut from a 6" thick plate) for a Power Plant in Mississippi. The clamp was designed for a 70,000 lb load and is to support a 40" diameter, high pressure main steam line. The u-bolt was made of a 3" diameter bar. In order to prove the design of this clamp, Finite Element Analysis was used to simulate the loads and stresses that it may experience in the field. The model shows the stresses at every point by a color coding system.
