Abstract:
A restraint system for use in securing temporary flow lines that include multiple pipe sections, each pair of pipe sections connected together with a fitting or coupling such as a hammer joint coupling. The system includes multiple pluralities of endless loop slings connected end to end with a cow hitch or girth hitch knot. Disconnectable fittings (e.g., shackles) are placed every three or more slings so that easy disassembly is afforded in case of leakage or other failure.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for restraining a temporary flow line that includes multiple pipe sections, each pair of sections connected together with a disconnectable coupling, comprising the steps of:\n a) providing first and second sling assemblies, each said assembly comprising multiple endless sling loops, each said assembly connected to another said assembly; b) each sling assembly including at least three endless loop slings connected end to end, one of the endless loop slings being a middle sling that connects at spaced apart positions with a knot joining one said sling to another said sling; c) the endless loop slings connected end to end connecting each plurality to another plurality with a disconnectable connector; and d) the slings attached to the assembly of pipe sections and fittings with knots that each encircle the temporary flow line.
