Custom Designed Pipe Shoes for a Facility in Louisiana
Type: | Pipe Shoes |
Size: | 20” x 20”x 12” |
Material: | A 516 Gr. 20 Carbon Steel | 304 Stainless Steel |
Testing: | Standard Q.C. Inspection |
PT&P custom designed and fabricated multiple pipe shoes for a general industrial contractor in Louisiana. The shoes are fabricated utilizing low temperature carbon steel A 516 Gr. 20, and the clamps are 304 stainless steel. The pipe shoes provide rigid support to the pipeline in all directions perpendicular to the pipe while allowing axial movement. The dimensions are 20” x 20”x 12”. A standard Q.C. inspection was performed prior to shipment.
Pre-Insulated Pipe Supports Custom Designed with 6” of High Density Insulation for a High Temperature Pipeline
Type: | High Temperature Pipe Suports (Hot Shoes) |
Size: | 10” NPS x 6” Hot Insulation x 12” Long |
Material: | Carbon Steel with HDG finish | Casi & High Density Inserts |
Design: | 1200°F | 15,000 lb. Vertical | 6,245 lb. Axial |
These pre-insulated high-temperature pipe supports were designed and fabricated for a 10” diameter high-temperature pipeline at a power plant in Arizona. The supports are fabricated from carbon steel with HDG finish and include casi & high-density inserts. They are designed to guide pipes that may reach up to 1200°F, high loads of up to 15,000 lb. vertical and 6,245 lb. axial. There were twenty-nine total “hot shoes” ranging in different designs. The “grooves” in the insulation are for steam tracing. Steam tracing is heat tracing performed by circulating steam around process pipes to heat them. The shoe assemblies are comprised of the four guides on the shoe and adjustable stops. They are designed to account for lateral, vertical, and axial movement. Dimensions for the supports pictured are 10” NPS x 6” thick insulation x 12” long base. Standard tests and Q.C. inspections were performed before shipping.
Graphite Slide Plates for an Technology and Engineering Company in North Carolina
Type: | Graphite Slide Plates |
Size: | 4”-10” Length | 4”-10″ Width |
Material: | Graphite Sheets | Carbon Steel |
Design: | 2000 PSI Operating Pressure |
PT&P manufactured multiple slide bearing plates for a technology and engineering company in North Carolina. The materials for these slide plates are made of graphite sheets with carbon steel backing pads. The dimensions range in length 4”-10” and width 4”-10” with operating pressure of 2000 PSI. All carbon steel plates will be galvanized. The graphite pad will then be bonded to carbon steel backing plates with a ¾ lip.
