Custom Designed Big Ton Spring Supports for a Propane Dehydrogenation Application in Texas

Type: Big Ton Spring Supports
Size: 42″ x 24″ x 26 1/2″
Material: Carbon Steel
Design: 94,261 lb. Load & 0.085” Movement
Testing: Standard Load Tests

PT&P custom designed big ton spring supports for a propane dehydrogenation application at a chemical plant in Texas. The components within this assembly include the spring housing, coils, name plates, pressure plate, and load indicator. While both assemblies measure 42” L x 24” W x 26-1/2” H, it was modified based on independent specifications for operating loads and movement to accommodate a load of 94,261 lb. and 0.085” of movement. This type of support is ideal for applications, such as supporting pressure vessels that combine very heavy loads with thermal expansion because of the stability they provide. The big ton was tested in the load cell to insure proper operation throughout the entire working range of the coils.

Cryogenic Pipe Supports Designed for a Facility in Massachusetts

Cryogenic Pipe Supports Designed for a Facility in Massachusetts

Type: Cryogenic Pipe Supports
Material: Carbon Steel | Polyurethane
Design: -320°F | 36″ – 48″ Dia. | 52″ W x 57″ H x 67″ L

PT&P received an order to custom design 16 cryogenic pipe supports for a contractor in Massachusetts. They needed a pipe forming a T-section lined with insulation and trimmed to accommodate the pipe perpendicular to the shoe length. The overall dimensions of the order are pipe sizes ranging from 36″ to 48″ in diameter, 52″ width and 57″ to 67″ height. Our insulation is designed to support the pipe and its contents. When insulated pipes are supported, the weight of the pipe, the contents, the operating temperature, and the amount of energy loss must be considered. In order to support the pipe and minimize energy loss from heat transfer, a pre-insulated pipe support is necessary. If the material in the pipe is high temperature such as high pressure steam or heating oil, then high temperature insulation is required, and these supports are called hot shoes. If the material is cold, such as liquefied natural gas, cooling water or ammonia, then low temperature insulation is needed, and these types of supports are called cold shoes.

C-Type Constant Spring Supports for a Refinery in Texas

Type: Constant Spring Supports
Size: 25″ in Height x 17-38″ in Length x 11-5/8″ in Width
Material: A-36 Carbon Steel with HDG Finish
Design: 981 lb. to 1828 lb. load | 2-1/2″ to 3″ Vertical Movement Range
Testing: Standard Load and Travel Testing per MSS Standards

Piping Technology & Products, Inc. designed and manufactured C-type constant spring support assemblies for a refinery in Texas. The constants are 25″ in height, 17-3/8″ in length, and 11-5/8″ in width. Their load capacities range from 981 lb. to 1828 lb., with a vertical movement ranging from 2-1/2″ to 3″. All constants were fabricated from A-36 carbon steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, and underwent standard load and travel testing per MSS Standards prior to shipment.
