Vibrations produced by rotating machinery are very common for industrial piping systems. Bracing devices can be used to cope with vibration. Hold downs are one of the most widely used pipe support devices to restrain or dampen pipe vibration. A common location for applying a hold down exists near a compressor or other rotating equipment.. The objective is to limit vibration in order to avoid damage to the surrounding equipment and pipeline system. The hold down is designed to restrain vibration generated by the compressor during gas compression within the pipeline. Hold downs are effective in controlling vibration and limiting unwanted movement, helping to maintain system stability and integrity..
Vibration Control: PT&P’s Capabilities
Pipe Technology & Products, Inc. can custom design and fabricate hold downs for virtually any pipe size application. In additional to hold downs, PT&P also offers other types of vibration control devices to accommodate different pipe orientations and locations:
Types:
Anchor Type (PTP HD-1)
APPLICATION: The PTP Fig. HD-1 is our anchor type hold down. This hold down is generally used in pipe lines where little or no insulation is required.
Material: Carbon Steel
Finish: Black or galvanized
Temperature: 750°F Black Steel
Temperature: 200°C Galvanized Steel
