Insulated Pipe SupportThis webinar will give you an introduction to Pipe Shields, Inc. and its unique line of pre-insulated pipe supports, slides, guides and anchors that it developed and patented over it’s 40 year history. It will cover various designs, commercial applications (chilled and heated water lines, HVAC systems and low pressure steam lines), installation and maintenance procedures and the benefits of using pre-insulated pipe supports (vs. doing insulation in the field). This webinar will be delivered by Albert Dizon, General Manager of Pipe Shields, who has been working with pre-insulated pipe supports for 30+ years. Join us and receive some of his experience and wisdom!

48” Dia. Cryogenic Pipe Supports Designed For A Light Hydrocarbon Production Facility

PT&P custom designed pre-insulated pipe supports with polyurethane insulation for cryogenic temperatures in a light hydrocarbon production facility in Texas. A total of 59 cold shoes were fabricated from A36 carbon steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish. The cold shoe assemblies range in diameter from 24″-48″ and were designed to support loads ranging from 17,000 to 31,000 lb. Standard Q.C. and dimensional tests were performed prior to shipment.
