The variable spring and clamp assemblies are fabricated using a combination of carbon steel for the housing and internal components, spring steel for the spring coils, and Cro-Moly (A-387 GR. 22) for the high temperature 3-bolt clamps. This pipe hanger assembly is an example of PT&P’s standard variable spring design wherein multiple coils are arranged in series to produce adequate load carrying capacity and coil deflection to compensate for the anticipated pipe movement. These particular assemblies are capable of an overall load range of 9,320 lb. to 15,970 lb. with a total travel range of 5″. All pipe hanger assemblies underwent standard load and travel testing, 100% deflection testing, and load cell calibration before shipping to a power generation facility.

These cold shoes are fabricated from stainless steel and carbon steel with Micarta insulation. The supports vary in length from 12″ to 36″ and are capable of temperatures as low as -260°F. 40 supports in total were fabricated and hot dipped galvanized for corrosion protection at a LNG plant.

We are happy to announce the publication of our product photo galleries! Our new galleries can be seen on our website and will allow visitors to view a wide range of pipe supports; such as snubbers, big tons, sway braces, variable and constant spring supports. We plan to add more photographs in the near future encompassing even more types of pipe support products.

The slide plate assemblies are fabricated from stainless steel, phosphorus bronze, and carbon steel. The 2″ thick carbon steel base plate is securely anchored to a concrete foundation, and the stainless steel slide plates are affixed to the base plate by countersunk attachment bolts. The phosphorus bronze slide plates, with machined grooves on the underside are placed on top of the stainless steel plates.

To allow for lubrication between to the contact surfaces of the two slide plates, grease is added through a fitting on the side of the bronze slide plate. The fitting allows access to a channel in the center of the bronze slide plate that leads to the grooves. A hole is located in the 2″ thick base plate to allow for grout to be poured through after installation.

We’ve been making some big changes on our pre-insulated pipe support online catalog. These changes have made it a lot easier for you to navigate the site and find the best hot or cold pipe shoe to fit your needs!
Some of the new features include:
– Drop down menu
– Catalog Search Box
– Catalog Price Request form Embedded in Page
– Easy to navigate glossary of terms
…and more! We look forward to serving your pre-insulated pipe support needs.

The structural pipe supports are fabricated from carbon steel and coated with red oxide primer. The structural steel will be stored in a warehouse for several months while the power plant is being built. Due to the plant’s location along the United States East Coast, the use of the red oxide primer was selected. Also, modifications were made to our standard “insulation saddles” to allow for a higher load capacity; which can be seen in the foreground of the image above.

Piping Technology is proud to employ employees from a wide variety of countries, cultures and backgrounds. Check out a recent mosaic we created to showcase our employees and products:
The U.S. Bellows exhibit featured a cut-away view of an expansion joint with insulating and abrasion resistant refractory lining and miniature models of various types of metallic expansion joints. Discussions at the booth included how to solve regenerated catalyst and spent catalyst standpipe expansion joint reliability problems. Talk to the engineers at U.S. Bellows about your flue gas expansion joint problems. We can help with your fabric expansion joint problems in low pressure flue gas systems.
