Custom Anchor Cold Shoes for a company in Texas
Piping Technology & Products, Inc. recently fabricated several anchor shoes designed for cold operating temperatures of -20°F. These shoes are fixed anchors to prevent movement of pipes spanning less than 25'-0 long. The shoes are made from A240 304 stainless steel in line sizes ranging from 4 to 16. An allowance for 2 to 4 of insulation material was provided.

Various Sized Cold Shoes for a Chemical Plant
Piping Technology & Products, Inc. designed and manufactured 250 variable sized cold shoes for a chemical plant in Texas.
These cold shoes are designed for cryogenic (low temperature) pipelines where direct contact with the pipe cannot be made. These shoes come with two pieces, top and bottom, and are made of polyurethane foam. They are then wrapped in vapor barriers, covered with a protective shield and placed in a pipe saddle.

Color-Coded Insulating Components
The pictures above show pipe supports designed for a system with very cold operating temperatures. The insulating components are polyurethane, which are inside the galvanized steel exterior of the support. At the top left of the picture are the color-coded polyurethane components of a “cold shoe” for a 60” pipe, the top (green) is 14 lb/ft3 density and the bottom (orange) is 20 lb/ft3 density. The higher density material has greater compressive strength but it is a better conductor of heat. The other pictures show finished shoes which have white coating over the polyurethane. Hot shoes, designed for high operating temperatures, are similar but usually have different insulating materials.
