Personnel Protection Shields Designed for a Power Plant
test service nolan
Type:
Personnel Protection Shields
Size:
8″ Dia. | Up to 36″ Lengths
Material:
Galvanized Carbon Steel
Design:
1050°F Operating Temperature
PT&P custom designed these personnel protection shields for a power plant in Wyoming. The personnel protection shields are used when insulating the line is not necessary, but operating temperatures require safeguarding personnel from coming into contact with the pipe. These shields are designed for an 8” diameter pipe operating at 1050°F. They are fabricated from carbon steel and range in lengths up to 36”.

Unparalleled Customization from Unmatched Manufacturing Capabilities
PT&P has developed a unique approach to its manufacturing operation that produces the broadest set of customization options with minimal impact to delivery timeframes. Most producers operate as smaller scale steel fabricators or highly standardized mass production organizations. PT&P is the only organization that is set up for both scales with over 500 production employees, customization capabilities, and artisan manufacturing skills. For example, PT&P is the only Major Global Supplier of both Expansion Joints and Engineered Pipe Supports. This unmatched manufacturing technique was achieved through proprietary systems, a highly engineered approach to manufacturing, and incorporating 10+ Industrial Engineers in the production operation.
Manufacturing Approach for Pipe Support/Expansion Joint Manufacturers
G10 Micarta® can be very cost-effective insulation as compared to Polyurethane foam (PUF), especially for medium and large shoes. It offers tremendous benefits at various stages of a project, including but not limited to:
Procurement
Installation
Handling, transportation, and storage
Plant Maintenance
Cryogenic Pipe Supports with Micarta® Insulation for an LNG Plant
Major Advantage of G10 Micarta® Supports for Procurement
G10 Micarta® supports involve fewer steps to manufacture, allowing for a quicker fabrication turnaround. It takes 2-3 weeks less on average than PUF supports for delivery. This enables the ability to catch up on deadlines and reduce downtime.
G10 Micarta® shoes cost less than PUF shoes of the same size, meaning Low Capital Expenses:
Advantages of G10 Micarta® Supports During Construction/Installation
G10 shoes can be sent to the pipe fabricator and can weld directly to the pipe spool, meaning there is minimal installation in the field. It takes 3-5 hours to install a PUF shoe in-field, depending on the size. G10 Micarta® shoes save that FIELD installation time.
Micarta® Block Assemblies for Placement Beneath a Saddle Support of a Vessel
Shop welding of G10 Micarta® shoes is much cheaper. As G10 shoes are weld to pipe spool at the fabricator’s shop, they can be inspected and tested in the shop; no inspection and testing in the field. More cost savings as inspection and testing is done at cheaper rates at pipe spool fabricator facilities rather than in the field.
As G10 Micarta® shoes are handled along with the pipe spools, there are fewer chances of missing supports in the field. Less OS&Ds to worry about for both the client and supplier.
Major Advantage of G10 Micarta® Supports while Handling, Transportation & Storage
G10 Micarta® supports are less fragile than PUF, making the handling, transportation, and storage of G10 to be trouble-free. No special packaging required, saving the time & the cost of special crating. Stronger G10 supports reduce the chances of accidental damage, thereby the need to re-fabricate the support.
Cryogenic Pipe Supports with Micarta® G10 Insulation, and Axial Stops for an LNG Facility
G10 Micarta® supports have insignificant water/moisture absorption rate, this means:
No structural deterioration in adverse weather, especially in the wake of heavy rain and storms. PUF deteriorates in wet weather or humid climates
Better life of the support
Less maintenance and more saving
Testing of G10 Micarta® Support
Comparison of G10 Micarta® vs. PUF from previous test reports:
Time-dependent temperature variations at the stated locations using G-10 Micarta®.
(i) T-pipe; (ii) T-top; (iii) T- ambient; (iv) T-Bottom, (v) T-BOS.
Time-dependent temperature variations at the stated locations using Polyurethane.

Variable Spring Supports Designed for a Highly Corrosive Environment in Peru
Piping Technology & Products, Inc. recently designed and fabricated F-type variable spring supports for a plant in Peru. The variables are fabricated from carbon steel, hot-dipped galvanized and a gloss aliphatic polyurethane topcoat was applied for corrosion protection. PTFE, 25% glass filled, slide plates are bonded to the top of the load flange to reduce the friction caused by lateral movement. The variables range from 9.5″ to 11.5″ in height and are designed for a travel range of 1/8″ upward to 3/16″ downward. To ensure quality, standard load testing was performed prior to shipping.
