Abstract
A conduit separator assembly and process for using same. The conduit separator assembly can include a centralizer, a first outer part, a second outer part, and a central axle. The centralizer can define a plurality of radial conduit slots. The first outer part can define a plurality of tangential conduit slots. The second outer part can define a plurality of tangential conduit slots. The central axle can be positioned within a central bore defined by the centralizer, a central bore defined by the first outer part, and a central bore defined by the second outer part. The centralizer can be positioned between the first outer part and the second outer part.
Claims20
A conduit separator assembly, comprising:
- a centralizer that defines a plurality of radial conduit slots;
- a first outer part that defines a plurality of tangential conduit slots;
- a second outer part that defines a plurality of tangential conduit slots;
- and
- a central axle positioned within a central bore defined by the centralizer, a central bore defined by the first outer part, and a central bore defined by the second outer part, wherein the centralizer is positioned between the first outer part and the second outer part.
A conduit separator assembly, comprising:
- a centralizer that defines a plurality of radial conduit slots;
- a first outer part that defines a plurality of tangential conduit slots;
- a second outer part that defines a plurality of tangential conduit slots;
- and
- a securing member, wherein:
- the centralizer, the first outer part and the second outer part each define a central bore therethrough and a securing bore therethrough,
- the securing member is configured to be positioned within the securing bore defined by the centralizer, within the securing bore defined by the first outer part, and within the securing bore defined by the second outer part, and
- the central bore defined by the centralizer, the central bore defined by the first outer part, and the central bore defined by the second outer part are configured to receive an elongated central member therethrough.
A process for securing a plurality of conduits at a distance from one another with a conduit separator assembly, comprising:
- obtaining a conduit separator assembly, wherein the conduit separator assembly comprises a centralizer that defines a plurality of radial conduit slots, a first outer part that defines a plurality of tangential conduit slots, a second outer part that defines a plurality of tangential conduit slots, and a central axle positioned within a central bore defined by the centralizer, a central bore defined by the first outer part, and a central bore defined by the second outer part, wherein the centralizer is positioned between the first outer part and the second outer part;
- positioning each conduit within corresponding radial conduit slots defined by the centralizer;
- and
- positioning the first outer part and the second outer part in a closed position relative to the centralizer.
