Abstract:
Tubing clamps having a minimum contact area between the tubes and supporting surfaces of clamp support bodies are provided for minimizing the collection and retention of liquids at the supporting surfaces. A minimum spacing is maintained between the tubes supported by the tubing clamps while maintaining sufficient ventilation between the tubes and the clamp support bodies to permit drying of any liquids which contact the tubes and the clamp support bodies at tubing support points. This prevents electrolysis and corrosion which may be caused by liquid retention and by contact between dissimilar metals. The tubing clamps are adapted to secure tubes having differing outer diameters in a single row or in multiple rows, such as in a stacked configuration. The clamps are provided with upper and lower supports, each having matching grooves that have chamfered edges forming the upper and lower tubing contact surfaces. The supports are secured together with fasteners to clamp the tubing therebetween.
