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 16):
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 pluralities of connected endless sling loops; b) each plurality including at least three endless loop slings connected end to end with girth hitch knots; c) a first plurality of endless loop slings connected to a second plurality of endless loop slings with a connector that is not a single endless loop sling; and d) knotting the slings to the flow line at intervals with knots that encircle the flow line three hundred sixty degrees (360\u00b0).
