Abstract
A method for tack welding a clip same to a support surface to removably secure a cable and instrumentation which may be connected on the cable in an environment wherein fluid flow is imposing loadings such as vibrations on the support surface, the environments of use including nuclear reactors, wind tunnels and the like. The restraint clip can comprise a single-piece body having a loop part wrapped around the cable and a pair of generally flat anchor plates extending codirectionally in juxtaposed relationship away from opposite ends of the loop part, the clip being fixed to the support surface by tack welding the two anchor plates to each other, and one of the anchor plates to the support surface. Removal of the clip from its fixing to the support surface preferably is effected with prying force applied to the loop part from behind the loop part with a tool anchored against the support surface.
