Hold-Down Pipe Clamps Designed To Limit Vibration Caused By Rotating Equipment And Avoid Damage To The Surrounding Piping System

PT&P has significant expertise in the custom design and fabrication of hold-down pipe clamps, specifically tailored for piping systems and skid-mounted units across the power, chemical, and refinery industries worldwide. These hold-downs are engineered to minimize vibration caused by rotating equipment and to protect the surrounding piping systems from potential damage.

The hold-downs are constructed from carbon steel and feature a hot-dipped galvanized coating for enhanced durability. To further improve their performance, PTFE slide plates are incorporated into the design, which reduces friction between the pipe and the clamp, allowing for controlled movement when necessary. Additionally, fabric pads are used to enhance vibration dampening, ensuring the integrity of the system.

These clamps are designed for pipelines with diameters ranging from 2″ to 16″. The dimensions of the hold-downs vary, with sizes ranging from 3″ wide x 9-1/8″ long to 8″ wide x 25-3/4″ long. They are built to withstand operating temperatures of up to 200°F. A meticulous Quality Control visual inspection was conducted prior to shipment, ensuring that only the highest quality products are delivered.

Hold-downs are used in many applications. This year we have supplied them to refineries, semiconductor plants, chemical plants, and power plants. We were the first in the industry to create a catalog to make it easy for our clients to select what would work best in their application. Take a look at a Product Figure Index to see what we offer. PT&P can custom design and fabricate hold-downs for any pipe size application. Beyond hold-downs, PT&P also offers a variety of vibration control devices designed to accommodate different pipe orientations and locations, providing comprehensive solutions for vibration management in complex piping systems.
