PT&P Provides Variable Springs to an Oil Refinery

Piping Technology & Products, Inc. has designed and manufactured over 177 tons of supports for the Chad/Cameroon Development Project in Chad, Africa. Adjustable Base Pipe Supports designed to support pipe size ranging from 3 to 18" in diameter were one type of the many supports fabricated for this project.

Each of the hot-dipped galvanized pipe stands (pictured at left) has an 8"x8" base plate and a midrange height of 12". The pipe stands allow for a maximum travel of +/- 3". These supports provide for easy adjustment in the field when supporting pipe trunnions on concrete pads or foundations. In addition, these pipe stands have a major advantage when the exact installation heights are not known at the remote job site.

Other supports including constants and variables spring hangers, rigid rod hangers, structural steel, FRP pads, and pre-insulated pipe supports were also manufactured in a range of different specifications and materials.
