It is used to hold and hang the flush joint pipe string and the drill collar.

The safety clamp is a critical backup safety device designed to secure drill pipe, drill collars, or casing in the event of primary slip failure during tripping or suspended operations. Manufactured in compliance with API Spec 7K, this clamp features a hinged, multi-segment construction with a screw-type tightening mechanism that provides positive gripping force around the tubular. The clamp is positioned above the rotary table or below the primary slips, serving as a secondary retention device to prevent catastrophic loss of the string. Equipped with interchangeable gripping inserts, the safety clamp accommodates various tubular sizes while ensuring secure engagement without damaging the pipe surface.
