Pedestals and Beams in Operation

The 54" suction line carrying gas to a gas compressor at a rate of 1.7 million lb./hr. developed a severe vibration. The deflections in the line were up to 3/4" and it was fully observable during operation.

Hold-down Clamp in OperationPT&P designed and manufactured a special elevated hold-down clamp, including a unique laminated vibration dampening lining. The entire pipe hanger assembly stands 22' high and is coated with a carboline zinc finish. After installation and resumption of operations, the vibrations are now almost imperceptible.
