Big Ton Spring Supports Designed for an Oil Refinery in Australia
Type: | Big Ton Spring Supports |
Material: | A36 carbon steel | Hot-dipped Galvanized | SS Slide Plates |
Design: | 16,276 lb. Ld. | 0.196″ Up Travel |
The big ton spring support is used for supporting large heavy units such as compressors, vessels and pumps in power and petrochemical plants. The housing and frame are fabricated from carbon steel and the spring coils are coated in neoprene. Polished stainless steel slide plates are added to the top of the load flange, which reduces the coefficient of friction to allow for lateral movement. This big ton spring support is designed to allow limited movement of 0.196″ upwards, with an operating load of 16,276 lb. This big ton spring enabled the client to reduce engineering man hours by avoiding the redesign of the piping system due to limited space requirement.

Read MoreTrunnions with Micarta ® G-10 Designed for a Cryogenic Pipeline
Type: | Trunnions for Cryogenic Temperatures |
Size: | 8″-24″ Dia. | 12″-18″ L | 6″-15″ W | 6″-40″ H |
Material: | Micarta® G-10 Insulation | CS | SS |
Design: | Cryogenic Temperatures of -320°F |
Testing: | MTR’s | Non Destriuctive (PMI) | Q.C. |
PT&P custom designed trunnions for a cryogenic pipeline at an LNG facility in Australia. The insulated supports were fabricated with carbon steel base plates, 304L stainless steel plates and fasteners. To prevent cryogenic temperatures of -320°F from transferring to the base of the trunnion support, Micarta® G-10 was used as insulator. The trunnions were designed to support pipe sizes from 8”-24” with dimensions ranging from 12”-18” in length, 6”-15” in width and 6”-40” in height. MTR’s were provided, and non-destructive testing (PMI) was preformed, along with standard Q.C. inspection prior to shipment.
This type of support is available in pipe sizes between 1/2″ to 42″ NPS; however, PT&P can customize any size needed. The standard material for these supports are galvanized or hot-dipped galvanized carbon steel. These supports were customized with Micarta® instead of the standard high density polyurethane with vapor barrier. When ordering, specify pipe size, insulation thickness and length. See more on Figure CS-6030 from our cryogenic pipe supports section.

Type: | Cryogenic Pipe Supports |
Size: | Pipe Size of 1” to 36” |
Material: | LTCS Material Tops, Stainless Steel, & Micarta® G-10 Insulation |
Design: | -50°F |
Testing: | PMI |
Piping Technology and Products supplied cryogenic pipe supports with axial stops for an LNG facility in Australia. The cold shoes were fabricated utilizing low temperature carbon steel, stainless steel and Micarta® G-10 insulation blocks. We supplied a wide range of lengths and pipe sizes from 1” to 36”. The cryogenic temperatures are low as -50°F. A special paint system was used for the low temperature carbon steel components to resist rust. PMI testing was performed on the stainless parts. Delivery was within 4-6 weeks.
