U-Type Constant Springs Custom Designed for Large Travel for an Oil Refinery

These figure 200 U-type constant springs were fabricated from A-36 carbon steel and range in size from 30-1/2" to 41" in height, 25" to 31" in width, and 68" to 80" in length. These are horizontal constants designed to support piping from below where the base plate is bolted directly to the top of the steel or the foundation using anchor bolts. Loads range from 9,000 lb. to 42,000 lb., and vertical movements range from 6" to 11". All the constants went through standard load and travel testing per MSS Standards prior to shipment.
