75 Hot Shoes for a Construction Project in New Hampshire

Hot Shoe Insulation

These pre-insulated hot shoes are manufactured from carbon steel and insulated with Firetemp® and Foamglas. Firetemp® is a structural insert designed to carry the load capacity of the pipe while Foamglas is fragile and can support temperatures of up to 900F. The hot shoes measure 19 long with the base of pipe at 6. They weigh between 58 lbs to 185 lbs. The pre-insulated shoes are designed to maintain the insulated pipes at a temperature for functionality.

Pre-Insulated Cryogenic Supports with PTFE, 25% Glass Filled, Slide Plates

Measuring Overall Length of the Support

Fifty Pre-Insulated Cryogenic Supports with PTFE, 25% Glass Filled, Slide Plates were manufactured for a 36” stainless steel piping system. The steel portion of the Cryogenic Supports is fabricated from ASTMA 240 Grade 304L stainless steel. The insulation used for the Slide Plate is Micarta, capable of supporting temperatures as low as -300°F. Each Pre-Insulated Cryogenic Support is 72” in length and weighs 2,000 lbs. It is designed to support the pipeline and accommodate 45” of axial travel at each support. They are used as Cryogenic Pipe Supports for a piping system that crosses a 1,000 foot suspension bridge.

3 Cold Shoes for a LNG Plant in California

These cold shoes are made of polyurethane for cryogenic pipe lines at a liquid nitrogen gas plant. They measure between 8” to 16” in diameter, 30” long with 4” of insulation. These cold shoes provide insulation in the support area where the regular pipe insulation (foam glass) is not sufficient to support the load.

4 Insulated Cold Shoe Supports for a Gas Plant

These cold shoes are made of polyurethane with an 8" thick insulation to fit a 30" pipe. The shoes are capable of insulating and supporting at temperatures as low as -360F. This allows for the LNG to be transported through the pipe at extremely low temperatures. These cold shoes were rushed to our client during a "turnaround" to replace the original supports that had failed.

Cold Shoe Pre-Insulated Anchors for an LNG Plant

These cold shoes are used for anchoring pipelines against movement caused by thermal expansion and by fluid flow in the pipe. The total weight of the 10 cold shoes is 8,336 lbs. They have 4 1/2" of insulation and are made to fit a 12" pipe. Their length varies between 18" to 24" for 6" to 12" of axial movement. The cold shoe is made of polyurethane insulation and A36 carbon steel. They are drop-in-place anchors that only need to be welded into the pipe run and fastened to the pipe rack. They were manufactured to specific design loads and movements for an LNG plant in Georgia.

Positive Anchor Hot Shoe for Oil Refinery

The hot shoes were constructed using high temperature insulation made from calcium silicate, lined with a ceramic fiber blanket in a steel cradle (A36 Carbon Steel). The shoes were designed for 1500 F and a vertical load range between 25,000 lbs and 32,000 lbs, and the BOP was 10". The overall diameter including 7" of insulation is 49 7/8". Belleville washers are used to hold bolt tension in pipeline with high frequency vibration.
