Constant Spring Support Assemblies for an LNG Plant in Central Africa

June 18, 2018

Type:	Constant Spring Supports
Material:	A36 Carbon Steel w/ HDG Finish
Design:	1,790 lb. Load \| 8″ Vertical
Testing:	Load and Travel Tests

These constant spring supports were modified to increase their installed height by adding a secondary plate and angles, which will be welded to the structural beam. The constants range in size from 20.5” in height, 38.75” in length, and 13” in width. They’re designed for a load up to 1790 lb. and a vertical movement range of 8″. All constants were fabricated from A-36 carbon steel and hot-dipped galvanized. Each assembly went through standard load and travel testing per MSS Standards. The constants were shipped within 6 to 8 weeks to an LNG plant in Africa.

Pipe Support and Expansion Joint Inspection Best Practices

PT&P/U.S. Bellows has performed over 1000+ Spring Support/Expansion Joint Audits in 30+ countries. We have an extensive database of results from these audits. In addition, we have conducted hundreds of lunch and learns and operating plants include 30+ in 2019. From this experience, we will provide an overview of best practices for auditing pipe supports and expansion joints as well as some key aspects of the ASME B31 code. We will touch on some of the most common areas of confusion we see at the operating plant level with regard to managing Spring Supports and Expansion Joints. We will also touch on how newer technology such as Laser Scanning can be used to assist with Inspections and Turnarounds.
