Cryogenic Trunnions with Permali® Blocks Designed for Ethylene Loss Recovery Lines
May 20, 2013
PT&P designed cryogenic trunnion supports for ethylene loss recovery lines at a plant in Texas. The trunnions were fabricated from 2″ dia. stainless steel pipes and have a maximum height of 3′. They include 6″ x 6″ permali® blocks measuring 2″ thick each. The permali® block isolator is a laminated phenolic material from layers of wood impregnated under vacuum and heat with synthetic resin. The temperature range for these supports is from ambient to -300°F.
Cryogenic Insulated Supports with Acoustic Pads for a Project in Algeria
February 9, 2010
The operating temperature for these cryogenic shoes ranges from -290°F to 90°F. They are designed for 56″ diameter pipe and are capable of supporting loads up to 40,000 lb. The insulation is multi-layered comprised of 20 PCF polyurethane, a vapor barrier, an aluminum metal jacket, and acoustic pads. The acoustic pads are installed around the cold shoe to absorb vibration. The base and bearing plates are fabricated from carbon steel.

Engineered Spring Supports (Practical, Hands-on Approach) Webinar
Date: Thursday, April 18, 2024 - Register for 10:00 am OR 2:00 pm
*Note: Time Zone is CDT * Central Daylight Savings Time / GMT -5h
Live Webinars are 1 PE/PDH Credit for TX Professional Engineers
Learn how the theoretical applications of spring supports are put into use in the real world. We will start with a review of the working principles of both variable and constant springs. See how brand new spring looks at delivery, and review installation guidelines. Learn the key points to review through the total installation process and subsequently when the springs are in operation. See how to determine if springs need adjustments, re-calibration, refurbishment, or replacement. View in field examples, shutdown, and isolation procedures. See the selection process required when there are significant changes to the operating condition.
Upcoming Webinars:
April 25th: Pipe Support Engineering & Design Webinar 10:00 am OR 2:00 pm
May 2nd: Variable Spring Support Design, Size Selection, Installation & Maintenance Webinar 10:00 am OR 2:00 pm
May 9th: Fabric Expansion Joints Webinar by U.S. Bellows, Inc. 10:00 am OR 2:00 pm
