Pre-Insulated Pipe Supports with 12" Thick Insulation for a 49" Pipe

Posted by Sylvia Ibarra on Apr 18, 2011

Pre-Insulated Pipe Supports with 12" Thick Insulation Designed for a 49" High Temperature Line
PT&P fabricated pre-insulated pipe supports from galvanized carbon steel designed for a 49" diameter pipe and temperatures in excess of 1600°F. The insulation is 12" thick and composed of lime, silica and reinforcing fibers. This type of insulation features exceptional strength and extremely low water absorption. It is essentially dust-free, contains no asbestos and is a very good material for structural insulation inserts. This "hot shoe" will be used in a cat cracker unit at a refinery in Alabama.

Constant Spring Supports Designed with Special Lugs

Posted by Ra Bass on Apr 03, 2011

Constant Spring Supports Designed with Special Lugs for Connecting to a Trolley
These PT&P 200 series constants are fabricated from A36 carbon steel. The 200-A constants measure 18.5"w x 20"H x 65"L and will support a 22,200 lb. load. They are modified to avoid interference with the structure by shortening the frame. The 200-C constants measure 18.5"w x 29"H x 80"L and will support a 32,000 lb. load. The constants have specially fabricated lugs to allow for a 3 ton trolley to connect with it.

Do you have a need for constants in a current or upcoming project? Let us price them for you!
