36” Dia. Cryogenic Pipe Saddles Designed For A Lng Facility

36” Dia. Cryogenic Pipe Saddles Designed for an LNG Facility

PT&P custom-designed pipe saddles with micarta base insulation for an LNG facility in Australia. The saddles were fabricated from 304L stainless steel plates with thickness ranging from 1/8″ to 3/8″. The micarta blocks range in thickness from 1/4″-3″. The saddles were designed to support pipes up to 36″ in diameter at an operating temperature of -300°F. Standard Q.C. and dimensional tests were performed prior to shipment.

A pipe saddle is any pipe support that cradles a pipe and transfers the pipe’s load weight onto a supporting base. Much like a saddle on a horse supports a rider and keeps them from bouncing on the animal, pipe saddles support a pipe’s weight. Pipe saddles are commonly used on large-diameter piping where the load is exceptionally heavy or when contraction-expansion movement is expected. Pipe saddles are welded to the pipe and are used in conjunction with roller supports or on-beam supports.

With the current uptick in global LNG demand driving US-based LNG production, Piping Technology and its subsidiaries are well-positioned to support large-scale projects in a timely manner. Our engineering and production teams work closely with our clients to ensure site, operator, and design needs are met. LNG demand is positioned to continue to grow over 60% by 2035.

Hold-Down Pipe Clamps For A 20&Quot; Pipeline At A Waste Disposal Facility

These hold-down pipe clamp assemblies are specially fabricated and include wedges with 25% glass-filled PTFE to absorb vibration and also serve as a buffer between the steel pipe and pipe support. Vibration can occur in Power, Solar, Biofuels, and Chemical plants because of flow-induced and/or acoustic-induced vibration due to the flow of fluids or gas/steam through the piping system. Similarly, vibration can occur in pipelines near rotating equipment such as reciprocating pumps and compressors resulting in pulsations or mechanical forces that can occur in both onshore or offshore production facilities. Vibration can be strong enough to cause premature failure or cracks resulting in unplanned shutdowns. These units shown in the photograph are custom-designed for pipe sizes up to 20″ in diameter and temperatures up to 200°F and can be adjusted to accommodate a range of heights for the T.O.S to the B.O.P. They are 21″ wide x 26″ long x 23″ high and are proven to greatly reduce vibration to acceptable levels. These hold-down pipe clamps are fabricated utilizing A 36 carbon steel plate and A 307 Gr. All-threaded rods. All components were hot-dipped galvanized and a quality control inspection was performed before shipment.
