These pipe clamp-guides were custom designed and fabricated for a 4" pipe vertical run in an LNG facility. They measure 16" from the bottom of the W-beam to the centerline of pipe and designed for temperatures up to 750°F. The clamp-guides were fabricated from carbon steel and include a hot-dipped galvanize finish.

A total of 295 cryogenic pipe supports ranging from 4" to 38" NPS were designed for a LNG regasification facility in India. The shoe and bearing plates were fabricated from carbon steel, the jacket was fabricated from aluminized steel and includes a vapor barrier. 20 PCF high density polyurethane foam was used for the insulation.

PT&P’s Sweco Fab division designed and manufactured a pig launcher and receiver with a flag type  indicator and a flanged HI-T Pig Alert pig signaler. They are fabricated from carbon steel with a three coat paint system. The pig launcher has an 8” diameter minor barrel, a 10” diameter major barrel, and is 110” in overall length. The pig receiver has a 10” major barrel, a GD II Closure and is 170” in overall length. They are designed for 430 psig at 100°F and were hydro-tested at 645 psig , held for four hours. Both pig launcher and receiver went through a 100% radiography test prior to shipment.

PT&P designed adjustable pipe saddle supports fabricated from A240 Gr 304 stainless steel, for a Booster Pump Station Rehabilitation Project in Florida. The pipe saddles are stanchion type supports designed for 10" and 16" pipe sizes, and can be vertically adjusted +/- 3" by turning the middle section of the seamless pipe.

Looking for adjustable pipe saddles for your application? We'd be happy to serve your needs!

We just posted a new video that discusses our variable spring loading procedure of standard variable springs. Watch our field service representative talk you through the process of loading a variable spring before it is shipped.

PT&P fabricated pre-insulated pipe supports from galvanized carbon steel designed for a 49" diameter pipe and temperatures in excess of 1600°F. The insulation is 12" thick and composed of lime, silica and reinforcing fibers. This type of insulation features exceptional strength and extremely low water absorption. It is essentially dust-free, contains no asbestos and is a very good material for structural insulation inserts. This "hot shoe" will be used in a cat cracker unit at a refinery in Alabama.

These PT&P 200 series constants are fabricated from A36 carbon steel. The 200-A constants measure 18.5"w x 20"H x 65"L and will support a 22,200 lb. load. They are modified to avoid interference with the structure by shortening the frame. The 200-C constants measure 18.5"w x 29"H x 80"L and will support a 32,000 lb. load. The constants have specially fabricated lugs to allow for a 3 ton trolley to connect with it.

Do you have a need for constants in a current or upcoming project? Let us price them for you!

PT&P designed and manufactured custom elevated pipe shoe-clamp supports for part of a palletizer transfer line in a polymer plant. The custom supports were designed to prevent cracking in the welds and grout base due to severe vibration in the line. The assemblies have an overall height of 48" with an adjustable load column. The clamp-shoes are 13" wide by 14" long, and designed for a 12" diameter aluminum pipe. The assemblies are carbon steel with a hot-dipped galvanize finish and include a unique laminated vibration dampening lining for the clamp.
