Take a Look into the Past: Insulated Pipe Supports
December 17, 2010
Check out our most recent article that looks at the history of insulated pipe supports through the past 100 years. Learn about the developments made in the 1950’s and 1960’s that introduced the use of “Foam Glass”, a lightweight material that is manufactured primarily from recycled glass and used in the design of insulated pipe supports. Later, polyurethane was developed to provide greater load carrying capabilities. Read the full article on the:

72" I.D. Cryogenic Insulated Supports for a Project in Algeria
February 16, 2010
PT&P manufactured 72″ dia. insulated supports for temperatures as low as -260°F. The insulation is multi-layered comprised of polyurethane foam with a density of 20 PCF, 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. The shoes will be used to support and insulate piping in a receiving & regassification plant and refinery.

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.
164 Wide Base Sliding Insulated Supports for a Power Station
February 2, 2010
The hot shoes are fabricated from A-36 carbon steel with 304 stainless steel slide plates. The 18″ dia. hot shoe has a maximum vertical load of 5500 lb. and the 24″ dia. hot shoe is capable of loads up to 13,750 lb. All the supports in this project are designed for temperatures of up to 1200°F. In addition to the insulation, these supports are capable of sliding axially or laterally as part of the piping system.

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
