Systems and methods for supporting a pipe
First Claim
1. A pipe support system, comprising:
- a first isolator and a second isolator at least partially disposed about a pipe such that at least a portion of the first and second isolators oppose one another;
a third isolator at least partially disposed about the pipe between a first set of ends of the first and second isolators;
a fourth isolator at least partially disposed about the pipe between a second set of ends of the first and second isolators such that at least a portion of the third and fourth isolators oppose one another, wherein an inner surface of the combination of the first, second, third, and fourth isolators surround a perimeter of the pipe to provide an insulated pipe; and
at least one clamp at least partially disposed about the insulated pipe.

Abstract
Systems and methods for supporting one or more pipes are provided. The pipe support system can include a first isolator and a second isolator at least partially disposed about a pipe such that at least a portion of the first and second isolators oppose one another. The pipe support system can also include a third isolator at least partially disposed about the pipe between a first set of ends of the first and second isolators and a fourth isolator at least partially disposed about the pipe between a second set of ends of the first and second isolators such that at least a portion of the third and fourth isolators oppose one another. An inner surface of the combination of the first, second, third, and fourth isolators can surround a perimeter of the pipe to provide an insulated pipe. The pipe system can also include at least one clamp at least partially disposed about the insulated pipe.

15. A method for supporting a pipe, comprising:
-
disposing a first isolator and a second isolator about a pipe such that at least a portion of the first and second isolators oppose one another; disposing a third isolator about the pipe between a first set of ends of the first and second isolators; disposing a fourth isolator about the pipe between a second set of ends of the first and second isolators, wherein at least a portion of the third and fourth isolators oppose one another, and wherein the first, second, third, and fourth isolators surround a perimeter of the pipe to provide an insulated pipe; and supporting the insulated pipe within at least one clamp disposed about the insulated pipe, wherein the clamp is adapted to exert forces on the first and second isolators. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A pipe support system, comprising:
-
at least four isolators, wherein the isolators are adapted to form a tubular interior surface when aligned adjacent one another, wherein at least a portion of a first and a second isolator oppose one another when the at least four isolators are aligned adjacent one another, wherein first and the second isolators are made of a first material, wherein third and fourth isolators are made of a second material, and wherein the first and second materials are different; and at least one clamp adapted to at least partially surround the at least four isolators and exert forces on the first and second opposed isolators. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
