GENERAL
The Double Chain Clamp is heavy-duty vessel clamp designed for the alignment large diameter having wall
thickness no greater than schedule 120. The Double Chain Clamp will reform schedule 80 pipe and vessels
having a tensile strength up to 45,000psi (310megapascal). The extra heavy-duty Jackbars and Main Block
provide the brute strength to accomplish almost any reforming job. Models of the Clamp are available to align
and reform pipe or vessels up to 20 foot (6 meters) in diameter.
The 10” to 84” Double Chain Clamp and larger will have multiple Main Block Assemblies, dependent on the
clamps pipe clamping range. Multiple Main Blocks and Fine Adjustments are included with large pipe or
vessels Clamps to enable the operator to remove the slack in sections of the chain (Table-2). The use of
multiple Main Blocks and Fine Adjustments greatly aids in the installation, application and function of the
clamp.
A. Installing the Clamp on Pipe without Cable Puller
1.
Lay out the clamp on the floor or table with Jackscrews (Figure 1) facing downward. Make sure all
Jackscrews are lightly touching the floor and the Jackbars are not elevated. (See Figure 5)
Figure 5
WARNING: Due to the weight of the Double Chain Clamp, precaution should be taken
when lifting the clamp to avoid injuries to the back, hands and feet.
The Double Chain Clamp will have 1 or more Double Main Blocks (Figure 2) containing 2 or more Chain
Dogs, Chain Dog Retainers and chain Locks. A Jackbar protrudes out of one side of the Main Block to
assist with the alignment and reforming processes. The attachment point of the Main Block (Figure 2) is
used as an attachment point for the hook of a Cable Puller or crane. The Main Block and all parts
attached to the Main Block are made from carbon steel. A 3/16” x 3/16” stainless steel square bar is
welded to the bottom of the Main Block for stainless steel and specialty alloy applications. The parts of
the Jackbar that contact the pipe are made of stainless steel.
2.
Evenly space the Jackbars (Figure 1) along the Chain as shown in Figure 5 and tighten both Chain Locks
(Figure 1 Item 5) with the Thumbscrews (Figure 1 item 4) located on the Jackbar (See Figure 1) to secure
the Jackbars in position on the Chain. Adjust all Jackscrews (Figure 1 item 3) to make sure they are lightly
touching the floor and the Jackbar (Figure 1) is not elevated. (See Figure 5)
WARNING: If the Thumbscrews do not adequately tightened the Chain Lock against the
Chain, the Jackbar will slip on the chain resulting serious injury or loss of a body member.
3.
Take the Chain Dog Retainers (Figure 2 Item 3) and Chain Locks (Figure 2 Item 4) that are located on both
WARNING: When spacing the Jackbars, use caution to not to place hands or fingers
side of the Main Block out of the support holes and leave dangling from the Main Block until it is time to
under jackbar or where the chain enters and leaves the Jackbar as it may cause serious
lock the Chain in position.
8
4.
With an overhead crane lower the clamp over each side of the pipe. If crane is not available or there is
not enough clearance above the pipe, pull the clamp over the pipe
5.
NOTE: Instructions for making a “spread bar” to assist in lowering the clamp on the pipe or vessel with a
crane is located in the back of this manual.
WARNING: When using a crane do not stand under the Double Chain Clamp as it
may disengaged from the crane resulting in serious injury or death.
WARNING: To avoid injury some method should be used to maintain the clamp on
the pipe to avoid serious injury to the operator
5.
Fit the clamp on pipe so the Jackscrew (Figure 1 Item 3) of the Jackbar
(Figure 1 Item 1) protrudes past the pipe end approximately 1” (25mm).
6.
Adjust the clamp so the Main Block (Figure 2) is at a convenient height
(Waist high for most persons) to lift the Fine Adjustment, Chain and Jackbars.
WARNING: To avoid a back injury, do the appropriate
exercises to stretch your back prior to lifting the fine
adjustments.
7.
Figure 6
Place the ears of the Fine Adjustments (Figure 5) into the notches of the
Main Block. See Figure 6
WARNING: Do not place hands under Jackbar or Chain as
it will result in serious injury.
8.
Install the Chain Locks (Figure 2 Item 4) into the large hole in the
Main Block (Figure 2), over the chain into the inner hole in the Main Block
See Figure 7
Figure 7
WARNING: Failure to install the Chain Locks may cause the Fine Adjustment to
become separated from the Main Block causing serious injury or death.
9.
Pull both Chains through the Chain Dogs (Figure 2 Item 2) of the Main Block
until both chains are tight against the side of the pipe or vessel. The lengths
of each chain should be even with each other. See Figure 8
Figure 8
9
10. Install Chain Dog Retainers (Figure 2 Item 3) back into the hole in the
Main Block slots. (See Figure 9)
Figure 9
11. Move the 2nd section of the pipe forward until pipe rest on the Jackscrews (Figure 1 Item 3) of the Jackbar
Assembly. If too much HI-LO exists, it may be necessary to remove some of the out-of-roundness of the
mating pipe to fit the pipe in the clamp. When aligning fabricated out-of-round pipes or shells, it may be
necessary to place a brace, about 1” (25mm) smaller than the inside diameter, into the shell to remove a
majority of the out-of- round condition). The brace(s) can be easily removed after the fit-up is complete.
WARNING: Do not place body, hands or feet under pipe or fitting being placed in
clamp as it may result in serious injury or death.
NOTE: It will never be necessary to tighten all Jackscrews (Figure 1 Item 3). Tighten only those Jackscrews
(Figure 1 Item 3) where the HIGHS between the 2 pipes exist. When adjusting the pipe diameters to
match up to each other with the Jackscrews, it may be necessary to loosen some Jackscrews (Figure 1 Item
3) opposite those that were tightened previously.
NOTE: Do not attempt to adjust all Jackscrews at the same to time to remove the high points.
12. Tighten each Jackscrew (Figure 1 Item 3) a little at a time. Go around the Vessel as many times as
necessary until you have a good fit-up.
Caution: Do not tack weld the vessels before a good fit-up is achieved all the way around the vessel.
13. When possible, completely weld the weld joint on inside of the vessel before removing the clamp. This
will eliminate the need to tack the weld joint on the outside pipe or vessel. When inside welding of the
weld joint is not possible, the Jackbars should be arranged to obtain an 80% completed weld joint on the
outside of the vessel prior to removing the clamp.
14. Raise the jackscrews above the surface of the vessel surface before removing the clamp.
WARNING: Failure to make sure the clamp is cool prior to removal of the clamp, may
result in serious injury.
15. Reverse the procedure used to install the clamp to remove the clamp.
C. Mounting Instructions using a Cable Puller (Come-A-Long)
Figure 10: Cable Puller Detail

Figure 11
1.
With the Dearman Double Chain Clamp resting over the pipe, wrap the chains just above one of Jackbars
with a strap. Attach 1 of the 2 hooks (Figure 10 Items A & B) of the Heavy-Duty Cable Puller to the strap
that is attached just above one of the Jackbars. Bring the strap attached Cable of the Cable Puller to
center between the 2 Jackscrews.
Figure 12
2.
Place the Hook (Figure 10 Item A) on the end of the Cable Puller attachment point in the center of the Main
Block. (see Figure 2)
Figure 13
3.
Ratchet the handle (C) of Cable Puller (see Figure 10) to move the Main Block (Figure 2) into position on the
pipe. (See Figure 2 below & Figure 12)
WARNING: Keep hands, finger and arm from under Chain and Jackbars when ratcheting
the Cable Puller as it may result in serious injury.
11
Figure 14
4. Place the ears of the Fine Adjustment (Figure 3) into the notches of the Main Block. (As Illustrated in Figure 6)
5. Pull the excess chain through the Chain Dog (Figure 2 Item 2) and put the Chain Lock (Figure 2 Item 3) of the
Main Block. Both Chains should be as close to the same length as possible. (As illustrated in Figure 8)
6. Install the Chain Dog Retainers (Figure 2 Item 3). (Installation shown in Figure 9)
7. The Cable Puller is now ready for removal.
Figure 15
8.
Move Latch (Figure 10 Item D) of the Cable Puller to the down position. Pull back on the latch (Figure 10 Item
E) of the cable puller and with the other hand pull the cable downward to obtain slack in the cable. (See
Figure 10)
Figure 16
9.
Unhook Hook (Figure 10 Item A or B) of Cable Puller from attachment point of the Main Block (Figure 10
Item B).
10. Remove hook (Figure 10 Item A or B) from the Double Chains of the Clamp.
12
11. If a Hi-Lo of more than 1” (25mm) exists, it will be necessary to remove some of the out-of-roundness of
the pipe in order fit the pipe into the clamp. When aligning fabricated shells with an out of round
condition, a brace about 1” (25mm) smaller than the inside diameter can be inserted into the shell to
remove some of the out of round condition). The brace can be easily removed after making the fit-up.
WARNING: Before attempting step 10, the process for removing the out of round
condition should be discussed with the appropriate safety personnel due to the risk the
personal injury.
12.
Move the fitting or other section of the pipe forward until pipe rest on the Jackscrews (Figure 1 Item 3).
NOTE: Tighten only those jackscrews (Figure 1 Item 3) where the HIGHS exist. It may be necessary to
loosen some jackscrews that were tightened previously when adjusting the pipe diameters to match.
WARNING: Due to the risk of severe injury and death, hand, fingers or other
extremities should not be placed between the 2 pipes or pipe and fitting being
moved into clamp.
NOTE: Do not attempt to adjust all Jackscrews at the same to time to remove the high points.
13.
Tighten only the 2 Jackscrews (Figure 1 Item 3) over the high spot and 2 jackscrews 180 degrees to the
first 2 jackscrews a little at a time Tighten 4 Jackscrews as many times as necessary until good fit-up is
achieved.
NOTE: Do not tack weld joint together before a good fit-up has been achieved all the way around the
vessel.
14.
When possible, weld the inside of the weld joint before removing the clamp to eliminate tacking the
outside of the weld joint. When welding the inside weld joint is not possible, Jackbars should be
arranged to weld 80% weld of the weld joint.
Note: If it is not possible to weld the inside first, it is suggested that all unrestricted areas of the weld
joint be welded before removing the clamp to help prevent cracking of the skip-welds.
15.
Before removing the clamp, raise the jackscrews about surface of the vessel surface.
WARNING: When removing the clamp, there is a risk of a severe burn, due to the
heat generated during the welding process.

To Tighten the Roller Chain
1.
Remove the Chain Dog retainers (Figure 2 Item 3) from Main Block (Figure 2) as shown in Figure 9.
2.
Pull the Chain through the Chain Dog (Figure 2 Item 2) to take up the slack in the Roller Chain as show in
Figure 8 keeping them as even as possible.
3.
The Chain Dog (Figure 2 Item 2) is spring-loaded to clamp the Roller Chain automatically when the
handle is released. Lift the trigger on the Chain Dog to let the chain go through the Main Block if the
chain needs to be released.
WARNING: When lifting the Chain Dog, there is a potential risk of serious injury. The
weight of the Jackbars and chains can cause the chain to be rapidly released through
the chain bog.
Note: The length of the Chains protruding out of the Chain Dogs (Figure 2 Item 2) should be as even as
possible.

Approximate dimensions of the spreader bar cable for use on 15’ diameter vessel:
center cable 2’ long, end cables 9’6” long. When hooking to the clamp, space hook at 11’7” from center of hook.
F. Maintenance
1.
All Jackscrews should be inspected after each clamping operation for splatter and other foreign debris.
Any slag, splatter and other foreign debris should be removed prior to the next clamping operation.
2.
Check all Jackscrews for damaged threads. If the threads are damaged, they should be filed smooth so
that the Jackscrew will rotate smoothly in and out of the Jackscrew Nut.
3.
If play between the threaded hole and the Jackscrew exceeds .020” (.5mm) the Jackscrew and/or Jackbar
should be replaced.
4.
When the Clamp is used daily, a Copper based Anti-seize compound should be applied to all Jackscrews
daily.
5.
Check Segments of the Chain for welding arc marks. If chain exhibits arc marks replace the chain.
WARNING: Use of any other chain that the Mathey Dearman Chain will cause the chain dog to
work improperly resulting in failure of the clamp and serious injury and possibly death.
WARNING: To avoid serious injury or death, the clamp should be inspected prior to each use
and repaired as necessary, regardless of the application.
