High Temperature Pipe Supports for a Carbon Manufacturing Plant

Posted by Sylvia Ibarra on Jan 30, 2012

Custom High Temperature Pipe Supports for a Granular Activated Carbon Manufacturing Plant

These high temperature pipe supports have a 25" outside diameter, and were custom designed for a granular activated carbon manufacturing plant in Hawaii. They are fabricated from A-36 carbon steel with 10" thick high density calcium silicate insulation. The hot shoes were designed for a 4" diameter pipe-line, temperatures up to 1,800°F and an operating load of 1,000 lb. Standard Q.C. and dimensional tests were performed prior to an expedited shipment.

Stock Upthrust Constants Modified with an Auxillary Platform

Posted by Justin L on Jan 16, 2012

200 U-Type Constant Spring Supports Designed for Large Spring Coils.

These 200 U-Type constant spring supports were modified to increase their installed height by adding a secondary plate and angles, which will be welded to the structural beam. The constants range in size from 25" to 27" in height, 52" to 67" in length, and 25" in width. Their load capacities range from 10,300 lb. to 13,000 lb. with vertical movement ranging from 3" to 4-1/2". All constants were fabricated from A-36 carbon steel, and went through standard load and travel testing per MSS Standards prior to shipment. Do you have a similar application that requires upthrust constants? Get pricing today!
