These 200 U-Type constant spring supports were modified to increase their installed height by adding a secondary plate and angles, which will be welded to the structural beam. The constants range in size from 25" to 27" in height, 52" to 67" in length, and 25" in width. Their load capacities range from 10,300 lb. to 13,000 lb. with vertical movement ranging from 3" to 4-1/2". All constants were fabricated from A-36 carbon steel, and went through standard load and travel testing per MSS Standards prior to shipment.

This Webinar will focus on the different types of constant spring supports. Learn about the special features available, in addition to the design of a constant support. View how the different cam/coil configurations produce a unique response to an applied load. Discover the step by step process used to size a spring for your application. Learn about the different attachments, testing, and installation and maintenance procedures. View examples of failed supports provided by our Field Service Division and learn why they failed and how to prevent it. Gain knowledge of the valuable tips used when deciding to adjust or replace a constant spring support, as well as shutdown and isolation procedures. The featured presenter, Jerry Godina has over 13 years experience as a pipe support designer and manages PT&P's engineer training development program. He also inspects existing supports, consults on site remediation projects and oversees installation on a regular basis.
Check out this video of our field service manager instructing how to remove travel stops from a constant effort support. This procedure is a very critical and necessary step in the installation of constant spring supports.

Custom U-Type Constant Spring Supports with Slide Plates
PT&P fabricated 12 constant spring supports of various sizes with PTFE, 25% glass filled slide plates. The smallest constant is 38.25" length x 13" width x 28" height, and the largest is 52" length x 19" width x 28" height. The designed loads vary from 13,264 lb. to 15,962 lb. and the total travel range is 2" to 3".

The constant spring hangers are manufactured from A36 carbon steel and have custom 4-bolt pipe clamps due to heavy loads. The dimensions are 40" length x 18" width x 85" height and are designed for a 1,784 lb. load with 10" of travel. The constants will be used to support radiant inlet manifolds and have a unique paint applied due to the highly corrosive condition. The entire pipe hanger assembly went through load and travel testing prior to shipping.

These constants were fabricated from carbon steel hardware and structure. The vertical constants are used to support pipes and other equipment. They range from 4 to 6 feet and weigh between 690 lbs to 2,850 lbs. The constants have a total travel capacity of 7 to 8 . Standard load testing was completed to ensure quality and performance.

These Figure PTP100-A size 40 and 51 constant supports, made of A36 carbon steel, are used to support pipeline systems. Each is 24" long, 10 1/2" wide, and 51 1/2" high. These constants are capable of supporting loads ranging from 1,165 lb. to 2,260 lb. with a travel range of 13" to 14 1/2". PT&P specifically designed and fabricated each constant for specific dimensions provided by the customer. Standard load and travel testing was completed for quality assurance.

Emergency Request for Types B & E Stainless Steel Constants
Within a two-week span, PT&P designed and fabricated eight Stainless Steel, grade-304, types B & E Constants for a marine plant. These constants have a travel of 1 1/2 – 5" and are specified to carry 50 – 1540 lbs load. Stainless steel was requested due to the corrosive nature of the environment. PT&P also manufactured nine Carbon Steel types B & E Constants for this project.

Piping Technology & Products custom designed and manufactured vertical F-type constants for a power plant in Connecticut.
The 100 type F is a vertical constant designed to support piping from below with minimum space usage. The dimensions of the constant are 26-5/8" high, 10" wide, and 17-9/16" long with an operating load of 280 lbs.
This particular F constant, was unusual in that it was furnished with a vertical spring that attaches below the frame of the constant. In addition to a downward travel of 3", the flange table shifts forward at 1-3/8" to minimize axial movement.
A galvanized finish was applied to the constant to prevent corrosion. The constants can be bolted on or welded to the support or steel underneath.
