PT&P fabricated and designed 52 of these custom sway strut assemblies for a liquid natural gas plant in Australia. These are manufactured from carbon steel with 304 stainless steel pins. The pipe sizes range from 2”-72” diameter, with a total length ranging from 27” to 137”. The sway struts are fabricated to restrain either tensile or compressive force in one direction while providing for movement due to thermal expansion or contraction in another direction. These sway struts have an operating temperature of 650°F and are designed for operating loads ranging of 650 lb. to 120,000 lb.
