Cementing lines

High-pressure steel pipes (treating iron) used to connect the pump truck to the wellhead. They are assembled from sections of Chicksan pipe with hammer unions.

They must be staked down or restrained with safety cables (whip checks) to prevent injury in case of a catastrophic rupture during high-pressure pumping.
