Custom Big Ton Springs Designed for a 122,000 lb. Load for a Chemical Plant

Type: Big Ton Spring Supports
Size: 52-3/4″ L x 38-3/4″ W x 91″ H
Design: 121,916 lb. Load | 3/4″ Upwards Movement
Material: HDG Carbon Steel | Neoprene Coated Springs
Testing: Load Calibration Test | Hydro-tested

Piping Technology & Products (PT&P) custom-designed a big ton spring support for a chemical plant in Pennsylvania to support a vessel with a load exceeding 121,916 lbs and accommodating 3/4 inch of upward movement.

The unit measures 52-3/4″ L x 38-3/4″ W x 91″ H and was engineered to handle substantial loads while allowing controlled movement within a confined space. Big Ton spring supports are specifically designed for heavy-duty applications, including vessels, compressors, and pumps in power and petrochemical facilities.

By incorporating a compact, high-capacity support solution, PT&P helped the client avoid a costly redesign of the piping system, delivering both engineering efficiency and cost savings.

This unit features an internal guide and a specially designed pedestal to meet the required elevation and withstand hydro-test loading conditions. A load calibration test was conducted prior to shipment to ensure performance and accuracy.

This project demonstrates PT&P’s ability to provide custom-engineered solutions for extreme load conditions, combining reliability, precision, and cost-effective design.
