How does the snubber lock immediately during a transient load?
January 28, 2013
When the velocity of the piston reaches a certain value (about 8in/min),the hydraulic valve will shut off and the entire system is locked. i.e. that isthe piston movement is arrested.

Does the travel scale represent the movement of the spring or the actual pipe movement?
January 25, 2013
The travel scale onthe constant support shows the total amount of travel of the pipe.

Does an anchor restrict motion in all direction that is X-Y-Z directions?
Anchors will restrict movement in all directions and will also restrictthe rotation of the pipe as well. In the stress analysis, we may see loads inall three directions which will tell us how “strong” the anchordevice has to be.

Variable Spring Support Design, Size Selection, Installation & Maintenance Webinar
Date: Thursday, May 2, 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
This Webinar will focus on the different types of variable spring supports and big ton variable spring supports. Learn about the special features available, in addition to the design of a variable support. View how the different coil configurations produce a unique response to an applied load and see how a spring assembly is loaded. Discover the basic steps in selecting a hanger design and the step-by-step process used to size a spring for your application. Learn about the different attachments, testing, and installation and maintenance procedures. View examples of failed supports provided by our Field Service Division and learn why they failed and how to prevent it. Gain knowledge of the valuable tips used when deciding to replace or re-calibrate a variable spring support, as well as adjustments, shutdown, and isolation procedures.
