Hot Shoe Inspection

Piping Technology and Products, Inc. received an order for a power plant in Argentina from our Pipe Shields division. This order consisted of variable assemblies, constant support assemblies, sway struts, and pre insulated pipe supports. Pipe sizes supported were up to 42” with 3” of insulation ranging from 340 lb. to 1300 lb. All hot shoes were designed to carry the load, along with its own weight and insulation. Since these pre-insulated supports are used for high temperature pipes, PT&P used calcium silicate as insulation and hot dipped galvanized the steel as a rust inhibitor. Piping Technology and Products Inc. handled all logistics of the international shipment.

Five springs in tandem prevent binding during operation, and are necessary due to extreme length. The sway braces ranged from 70″ to 144″ in length and can handle up to 8,000 lbs. The precision machined pivoting ball joints positioned at each end allow for freedom of movement in any unpredictable direction.
