PT&P custom designed and manufactured constant spring supports for a power plant in Canada. Four constant assemblies were fabricated using carbon steel and hot-dip galvanized to prevent corrosion. The custom-designed constants, sized and identified as 100-73 Type-E and 100-69 Type-E, were manufactured for a thermochemical process within the plant. These supports are designed for operating loads of 21,600 lbs. and 26,350 lbs., respectively, both with an operating movement of 3.7 inches. Load and travel testing were completed before shipment.
Constant spring supports are used for piping and related components where higher levels of vertical travel occur. Their job is to support the working load over the whole travel area while keeping it constant, i.e. without any considerable deviations. Constant spring supports are available in horizontal or vertical designs, and in a variety of sizes to accommodate different loads, movements, and hanger arrangements.
They maintain a consistent support force as pipes expand or contract with temperature changes. This helps:
-
-
- Manage Pipe Movement: Accommodates changes in pipe position due to temperature variations.
- Maintain Alignment: Keeps pipes properly aligned, preventing misalignment issues.
- Reduce Thermal Stress: Minimizes stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
- Handle Variable Loads: Provides reliable support under varying conditions.
- Ensure Versatility: Suitable for both high-temperature and cryogenic systems.
