Pre-Insulated Pipe Supports for an LNG Plant

PT&P manufactured a total of 1,400 supports for an LNG project. 75 of those supports were cold supports completed in less than one week on an emergency basis. The cold shoes were fabricated from a combination of polyurethane foam, carbon steel metal straps, and an aluminum metal jacket for insulation. They are designed for temperatures as low as -300°F and pipe sizes ranging from 12" to 36" in diameter. The 36" diameter shoes are designed for a vertical load of 102,000 lb. and the 12" diameter shoes are designed for 36,000 lb. load.

72″ I.D. Cryogenic Insulated Supports

72″ I.D. Cryogenic Insulated Supports

PT&P manufactured 72" dia. insulated supports for temperatures as low as -260°F. The insulation is multi-layered comprised of polyurethane foam with a density of 20 PCF, a vapor barrier, an aluminum metal jacket, and acoustic pads. The acoustic pads are installed around the cold shoe to absorb vibration. The base and bearing plates are fabricated from carbon steel. The shoes will be used to support and insulate piping in a receiving & regassification plant and refinery.

Pipe Shoes to be Shipped to South Africa

Posted by Sylvia Ibarra on Jul 19, 2006

Pipe Shoes to be Shipped to South Africa
Pipe Shoes to be Shipped to South AfricaThese pre-insulated pipe supports were manufactured for a Houston based engineering and construction company to complete an on-going project in South Africa. The polyurethane foam insulation is wrapped with a vapor barrier to prevent moisture, and the ends are coated with a monolar mastic paint to seal the pores. The carbon steel fabrication that surrounds the insulation has an elaborate three-coat paint system to help protect the steel from corrosion. This design allows for an integral combination of insulation and structural support in one pipe support assembly. It also minimizes labor in the field in regards to the installation of insulation.

Hot Shoe for a Refining Company

Hot Shoe for a Refining Company

Hot Shoe for a Refining CompanyThis hot shoe was fabricated from carbon steel, calcium silicate and Firetemp®. Firetemp® is the insulation that carries the load of the pipe. In addition, calcium silicate was also used because it has a lower density, making it a better insulator. This shoe is used as a pipe support and can handle temperatures of up to 1,200F. It measures at 73 in diameter with 5 insulation and weighs 2,391lbs. This hot shoe was expedited in one week per customers request.
