PT&P designed and manufactured eighty one custom pipe shoes for a solar power plant in California. The shoes will support heat transfer in fluid pipes at the facility. They consist of 3/8″ stainless steel slide plates and microtherm insulation. The shoes measure 10″ wide, 10″ height, and 18″ in length with a 750°F operating temperature. The assemblies have a vertical operating load of 10,000 lb. with 2″- 3″ of axial movement.
