Nakuba zingabonakali njengengxenye ebalulekile yokwakha izakhiwo zangaphakathi noma izinhlelo zokufaka amapayipi, ama-clamp asebenza umsebenzi obaluleke kakhulu wokubamba imigqa endaweni yayo, ukuwamisa, noma ukugcina amapayipi ephephile. Ngaphandle kwama-clamp, iningi lamapayipi lizogcina liphukile okuholela ekuhlulekeni okukhulu kanye nomonakalo omkhulu endaweni eseduze.

Njengoba isebenza njengendlela ebalulekile yokulungisa noma yokuzinzisa amapayipi azo zonke izinhlobo, ama-clamp amapayipi athuthuke eminyakeni edlule kusukela ekusetshenzisweni okulula kwentambo noma amaketanga kuya ezingxenyeni ezikhiqizwe ezingasetshenziswa ezimweni nasezimweni ezahlukahlukene. Ngokuyisisekelo, ama-clamp amapayipi aklanyelwe ukugcina ipayipi noma ingxenye yamapayipi isendaweni yayo, kungaba endaweni ethile noma ilenga emoyeni.

Izikhathi eziningi amapayipi kanye namapayipi ahlobene nawo kufanele adlule emigodini,uphahlaizindawo, izindlela zokuhamba ezingaphansi komhlaba, nokunye okufanayo. Ukuze kugcinwe imigqa ikude lapho abantu noma izinto zizothuthwa khona kodwa ukuze kuqhutshwe amapayipi endaweni, kufanele basizwe bakhuphukele phezulu odongeni noma baphanyekwe ophahleni.

Lokhu kwenziwa ngokuhlanganiswa kwezinduku ezixhunywe ophahleni kolunye uhlangothi kanye nezibambo kolunye. Ngaphandle kwalokho, amapayipi aqiniswa ngezibambo ezindongeni ukuze azigcine ziphakeme. Kodwa-ke, akukho sibambo esilula esizosebenza. Amanye kufanele akwazi ukulawula izinga lokushisa. Isibambo ngasinye sidinga ukuqina ukuze sigweme ukunyakaziswa epayipini. Futhi kudingeka sikwazi ukubhekana nezinguquko zokwanda kwensimbi yamapayipi ezingenza ububanzi bube bukhulu noma bube buncane ngokubanda noma ukushisa.

Ubulula be-clamp yamapayipi bufihla ukuthi isebenza kanjani. Ngokugcina umugqa wamapayipi usendaweni, imishini isiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uketshezi noma amagesi ahamba ngaphakathi ahlala lapho kufanele afike khona futhi afike lapho ehloselwe khona. Uma ipayipi lingaphuma, uketshezi olungaphakathi luzochitheka ngokushesha endaweni eseduze noma amagesi angcolisa umoya ngendlela efanayo. Ngamagesi aguquguqukayo, angabangela ngisho nemililo noma ukuqhuma. Ngakho-ke ama-clamp asebenza injongo ebalulekile, akukho mpikiswano.
