300 Variable Spring Supports Designed for a Furnace Application

April 25, 2016

PT&P designed and fabricated 300 variable spring supports for use in a furnace within a methanol processing facility in Mexico. We manufactured the ”housing” of these variable springs using seamless pipe (in order to prevent the springs’ coils from rubbing against the ”weld seam” of a standard pipe) so that the exact spring rate (+/- 5%) can be calculated without discrepancies or variations. The reason that an accurate spring rate is important is because furnace springs function as a ”scale” in order to determine the weight of the radiant coils within the unit. These springs are coated with red oxide primer to protect against corrosion. We manufactured these furnace spring assemblies for an operating load of 1,036 lb. and a movement up to 8 1/2″. Each spring is traceable to test data and tagged with its’ unique spring rate along with other standard information use for identification.

Furnace Springs Join us for this Webinar focusing on the unique design aspects of pipe supports and expansion joints operating in furnace applications. See how these non-standard designs impact the overall construction and fabrication processes. Learn the differences between standard supports and those specifically used in furnace applications. View the in-depth testing processes and learn what to watch for during inspection and maintenance intervals.

The featured presenter, Jerry Godina has over 15 years experience as a pipe support designer and manages PT&P’s engineer training development program. He also inspects existing supports, consults on site remediation projects and oversees installation on a regular basis.

Over 400 Clevis Hanger Assemblies Designed for a Pulp and Paper Plant

March 28, 2016

PT&P supplied over 400 clevis hanger assemblies for a pulp and paper plant in Indonesia. The assemblies accommodate elevation differences ranging from 94-1/2″ to 138″ with pipe diameters ranging from 1″ to 24″ and a rod diameter range of 3/8″ to 1-1/4″. All components were fabricated from hot-dipped galvanized carbon steel and are designed for ambient temperatures and loads ranging from 700 lb. to 7500 lb.

Big Ton Spring Supports Designed to Support a Pressure Vessel

March 18, 2016

These big ton spring supports were custom designed for an LNG plant in Australia. These units were designed with PTFE, 25% glass filled slide plates, and will be used under the saddle supports of a horizontal pressure vessel. The big tons were selected due to a combination of confined space, heavy loads, and thermal expansion. The units measure 28-3/8″ x 25-3/8″ x 13” and are capable of supporting a load up to 11,488 lb while accommodating a down travel of 0.31 inches.

Constant Spring Supports Designed for a Power Plant in New Mexico

March 7, 2016

PT&P fabricated constant support assemblies for a power plant in New Mexico. The constant assemblies will be used in conjunction with structural supports also provided by PT&P. Operating loads range between 7,000 lb. and 20,000 lb. and designed for movements from 10-1/2″ to 12″. All thread rods were coated with rust prevention compound and the constants were painted with Intergard® 475 HSS. The travel stops are wired to the constants frame and can be reused to lock the constant, preventing travel during plant maintenance or shutdowns. Standard load and travel tests were completed according to MSS standards prior to shipment.

Variable Spring Support Design, Size Selection, Installation & Maintenance Webinar

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.

Custom Sway Strut and Pipe Clamp Assemblies for an LNG Plant in Australia

January 22, 2016

PT&P fabricated and designed 52 of these custom sway strut assemblies for a liquid natural gas plant in Australia. These are manufactured from carbon steel with 304 stainless steel pins. The pipe sizes range from 2”-72” diameter, with a total length ranging from 27” to 137”. The sway struts are fabricated to restrain either tensile or compressive force in one direction while providing for movement due to thermal expansion or contraction in another direction. These sway struts have an operating temperature of 650°F and are designed for operating loads ranging of 650 lb. to 120,000 lb.
