Custom Designed Bolt Cradle Supports for a Chemical Plant in Texas
March 20, 2017
| Type: | Custom Bolt Cradle Pipe Supports |
| Size: | 24″ to 36″ Diameter Range |
| Material: | Hot-dipped Galvanized Carbon Steel | Gasket Sealing Material |
| Testing: | Dimensional and Visual Inspection |
These supports are custom designed similar to a PTP Fig.900 bolt cradle support. They are fabricated from hot-dipped galvanized carbon steel and were designed for pipe sizes ranging from 24″ to 36″ in diameter. The assemblies include a gasket sealing material that will be installed between the pipe shoe and pipe. The pipe supports underwent dimensional and visual inspection, and stainless steel tags were riveted to the shoes prior to shipping to a chemical plant in Texas.

Big Ton Spring Supports Designed for a LNG Facility in Australia
February 7, 2017
| Type: | Big Ton Spring Supports |
| Size: | 19-5/8″ x 19-5/8″ x 15″ |
| Material: | Hot-dipped Galvanized Carbon Steel | A193 Gr. B7 |
| Design: | Movements: 3/16 ” – 1/4″ | 16,619 lb. Load |
| Testing: | Load Cell throughout Operating Range |
These big ton spring supports were designed for a liquid natural gas (LNG) plant in Australia. They were selected because the application required supporting heavy loads as the supported equipment undergoes thermal expansion during operation. The assemblies are fabricated from hot-dipped galvanized carbon steel. The travel stop rods and nuts material is A193 Gr. B7. The units measure 19-5/8″ x 19-5/8″ x 15″ and are capable of supporting loads up to 13,619 lb. while accommodating movements from 3/16″ to 1/4″. The big tons were tested with a load cell to insure proper operation throughout the big ton’s operating range.
