PT&P custom-designed sway braces on an urgent basis to replace existing sway braces at an oil refinery in the Virgin Islands. These sway braces will be used in coker units that have long displacements. They are fabricated with ball joints at both ends due to the “banana effect”. The casing, pipe, coils, threaded rods, turnbuckle, ball joints, etc. are all fabricated from carbon steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish.
The maximum loads, spring rates and movements for the sway braces are as follows:
| Max Load (lb) | Spring Rate (lb/in) | Max Movement (+ / – in) |
| 2475 | 90 | 10″ |
| 3800 | 267 | 3-3/4″ |
| 3480 | 120 | 9″ |
| 2500 | 200 | 2″ |
