Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to an apparatus for supporting a tubular that more evenly distributes stress along the contact length of a tubular than prior art designs. In one embodiment, an apparatus for supporting a tubular is provided. The apparatus includes a bowl having a longitudinal opening extending therethrough and an inner surface for receiving a gripping member.
The gripping member is movable along the surface of the bowl for engaging the tubular. The apparatus is configured so that an upper portion of the gripping member will engage the tubular before the rest of the gripping member engages the tubular.

Claims (6)

1. An apparatus for supporting a tubular having a longitudinal axis, comprising:
a bowl having a longitudinal opening extending therethrough and an inner surface inclined at an angle A b relative to the longitudinal axis; and a slip movable along the inner surface of the bowl for engaging the tubular and having an outer surface inclined at an angle A S relative to the longitudinal axis, wherein A s is greater than A b, wherein the angle A b uniformly extends along a length of the inner surface of the bowl, and the outer surface of the slip is movable along the length of the inner surface of the bowl for engaging the tubular, and wherein a stress distribution of the slip on a length of the tubular is substantially uniform.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the difference between A b and A S is less than 1 degree.
3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the difference between A b and A s is less than one-quarter of a degree.
4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the difference between A b and A S is less than or equal to about one-eighth of a degree.
5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the slip includes a die having teeth for engaging the tubular and is disposed in a slot formed in the slip, and wherein the die and the slot are configured so that the die may rotate within the slot to facilitate engagement with the tubular.
6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the bowl has a flange and the apparatus further comprises a ring disposed around the bowl and abutting the flange, the ring having brackets for coupling to bails.
