Pipe Shoes Designed for Main Steam Piping in a Gold Mine Project

These custom designed pipe shoes were fabricated for main steam piping in a gold mine project. A total of forty-three pipe shoes ranging in size from 20" to 36" diameter were designed for temperatures up to 650°F. The shoes ranged in length from 17" to 24", width from 20" to 32" and height from 3" to 7". They are manufactured from carbon steel and have a two-coat paint system to protect against corrosion.

251 Variable Furnace Springs for  a Chemical Plant in Virginia

251 variable furnace springs were designed and fabricated for fertilizer production at a chemical plant in Virginia. The furnace cans are carbon steel and painted with red-oxide primer to avoid any potential hazards where exposed to high temperatures. This project included figures: PTP-1-120, PTP-2-150, PTP-2-180, PTP-4-100 and PTP-4-200 variable furnace springs with operating loads ranging from 1,042 lb. to 15,512 lb. A load test on all variable springs was conducted prior to shipment.
