Custom Elevated Pipe Shoe-Clamp Designed for a 12" Diameter Transfer Line in a Polymer PlantPT&P designed and manufactured custom elevated pipe shoe-clamp supports for part of a palletizer transfer line in a polymer plant. The custom supports were designed to prevent cracking in the welds and grout base due to severe vibration in the line. The assemblies have an overall height of 48" with an adjustable load column. The clamp-shoes are 13" wide by 14" long, and designed for a 12" diameter aluminum pipe. The assemblies are carbon steel with a hot-dipped galvanize finish and include a unique laminated vibration dampening lining for the clamp.

G-Type Variable Spring Support Assemblies for an Expansion Project

Posted by Sylvia Ibarra on Mar 14, 2011

G-Type Variable Spring Support Assemblies for an Expansion Project at an Oil Refinery

PTP-2 Type-G variable spring support assemblies were designed and fabricated for an expansion project at an oil refinery. The G-type spring is comprised of two standard variable spring housing-coil subassemblies joined together with an intermediate bridge assembly. The bridge assembly is customized to match existing site conditions, which allows for use in applications with limited space or interferences. This particular assembly was provided with extra large channels because the specified C-C dimension of 59" exceeded the maximum (48") of our standard G-type variable springs. The housings, internal components and channels were fabricated from carbon steel, and spring steel was used for the coils. The assembly was designed for a total operating load of 24,014 lb. with a design travel of 0.76" upward.
