The [slide plates](http://www.pipingtech.com/products/slideplates.htm) are comprised of 1/4" thick PTFE, 25% glass filled slide plates bonded to 1/8" A240 grade 316 L stainless steel backing plates. Stainless steel was used for better resistance to corrosion and longevity. The assemblies measure 83" long by 20" wide and will be installed underneath a bridge. A total of 16 slide plates were fabricated and designed for a pressure of 500 psi at ambient temperature. PTFE, 25% glass filled material provides a low coefficient of friction, is easy to install, does not require surface treatments, or grouting, and is unaffected by weather conditions.

The variable is fabricated entirely from carbon steel with a hot-dipped galvanize finish. The extension is schedule 40 pipe, 8" in diameter and 12-5/16" in height. The slide plate is fabricated from A240 grade stainless steel and is welded to the top of the load flange. This support will be used underneath a 16" diameter pipe with a dummy leg. It is designed for 1/16" vertical travel and 1/8" horizontal travel for an oil refinery in Algeria.

[![19 Sets of Phosphorus Bronze and Stainless Steel Slide Plate Assemblies for Supporting Vessels](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/4998759345_6080a352d6.jpg "19 Sets of Phosphorus Bronze and Stainless Steel Slide Plate Assemblies for Supporting Vessels")](http://www.flickr.com/photos/pipesupports/4998759345/)

<http://www.flickr.com/photos/pipesupports/4998759345/> The [slide plate assemblies](http://www.pipingtech.com/products/slideplates.htm)are fabricated from stainless steel, phosphorus bronze, and carbon steel. The 2" thick carbon steel base plate is securely anchored to a concrete foundation, and the stainless steel slide plates are affixed to the base plate by countersunk attachment bolts. The phosphorus bronze slide plates, with machined grooves on the underside are placed on top of the stainless steel plates.

To allow for lubrication between to the contact surfaces of the two slide plates, grease is added through a fitting on the side of the bronze slide plate. The fitting allows access to a channel in the center of the bronze slide plate that leads to the grooves. A hole is located in the 2" thick base plate to allow for grout to be poured through after installation.

**Piping Technology & Products, Inc. Performed Field Services for a Power Generating Plant in Texas**

PT&P was contracted to assist in the determination of pipe support maintenance at a power plant in Texas. The constant effort support springs with loads of excess of 9,500 lbs and the variable spring supports with loads of 450 lbs were marked for needing attention.

[![Inspecting Variable Springs for Performance](http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5244/5323775519_c54bce06a5.jpg "Inspecting Variable Springs for Performance")](http://www.flickr.com/photos/pipesupports/5323775519/)

Inspecting Variable Springs for Performance

 PT&P's objectives were to:

\* Evaluate the pipe supports  
\* Determine state of performance  
\* Provide a plan of action  
\* Train personnel on-site to perform adjustments and replacement of supports or support components  
\* Provide final inspection of modified supports

[![After Cleaning ](http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5244/5324383358_22a5056c9d.jpg "After Cleaning & Preparation of the Constant")](http://www.flickr.com/photos/pipesupports/5324383358/)

Final Assembly with Added Slide Plates

 The pipe supports needing attention could not be set to the required installation position. A plan was initiated to recondition some of the support components such as turnbuckles and rods. This would allow a greater range of field adjustment to the pipe supports. During a planned shut-down, PT&P Field Service Units returned to the site to modify the existing supports. The initial phase of the modifications included bracing the piping in order to isolate and lock the supports in position. Then, they were disconnected from the system and modifications to the assemblies were completed. Afterwards, the supports were reinstalled and any necessary adjustments were completed. A total of eight pipe supports were modified or adjusted.

The [Bronzphite®](http://www.pipingtech.com/products/ptpcat/slideplate/bronzphite.html)slide plates shown above are constructed from graphite and phosphorus bronze with dimensions ranging from 3" x 3" to 6" x 36". They are designed for up to 500ºF and a total travel of up to 30".

In general, Bronzphite® is a self-lubricating bearing plate made of a high quality bronze with [graphite](http://www.pipingtech.com/products/ptpcat/slideplate/graphite.htm) filled grooves. The solid graphite inserts are arranged in various patterns and sizes to meet customer specifications. This type of slide plate is best suited for high loads, low velocity applications and in places where the use of oil or grease in undesirable or unfeasible.

61" x 61" Graphite Slide Plates for a Refinery Project in India

PT&P designed and fabricated eighteen [graphite slide plates](http://www.pipingtech.com/products/ptpcat/slideplate/graphite.htm) for a refinery project in India. These plates are made of graphite sheets with thicknesses of 6mm and 12mm. The overall dimensions of the plates are 3/8" x 19-11/16" x 19-11/16" and 3/8" x 61" x 61". The plates will be tack welded on top of [big ton spring supports](http://www.pipingtech.com/products/ptpcat/spring/bigton/index.html) in the refinery to minimize frictional effects.
