The Pipe Support Blog

These custom instrument supports are fabricated from carbon steel with a hot dipped galvanize finish. The instrument stands vary in heights up to 5' and widths from 18" to 24". A total of 126 stands will be used to support instruments at an oil refinery. PT&P offers a complete line of adjustable and welded instrument supports in various mounting styles.

PT&P designed adjustable pipe saddle supports fabricated from A240 Gr 304 stainless steel, for a Booster Pump Station Rehabilitation Project in Florida. The pipe saddles are stanchion type supports designed for 10" and 16" pipe sizes, and can be vertically adjusted +/- 3" by turning the middle section of the seamless pipe.

Pedestals and Beams in Operation

The 54" suction line carrying gas to a gas compressor at a rate of 1.7 million lb./hr. developed a severe vibration. The deflections in the line were up to 3/4" and it was fully observable during operation.

PT&P designed and manufactured a special elevated hold-down clamp, including a unique laminated vibration dampening lining. The entire pipe hanger assembly stands 22' high and is coated with a carboline zinc finish. After installation and resumption of operations, the vibrations are now almost imperceptible.

The structural pipe supports are fabricated from carbon steel and coated with red oxide primer. The structural steel will be stored in a warehouse for several months while the power plant is being built. Due to the plant's location along the United States East Coast, the use of the red oxide primer was selected. Also, modifications were made to our standard "insulation saddles" to allow for a higher load capacity; which can be seen in the foreground of the image above.

22″ Dia. Riser Clamps

All four riser clamps are manufactured from A-36 carbon steel plates and are coated with red oxide primer for rust prevention. They are 22" in diameter with each plate measuring 2" thick by 12" wide by 65" long. Each riser clamp is capable of supporting loads of up to 38,000 lb. and will be used in a power plant to support “downcomer” lines.

80 ft. wide Cantilevered Canopy for an International Project

Piping Technology & Products, Inc. fabricated a Cantilevered Canopy for the entrance of an International State Department building. The Canopy was fabricated using ten 20-foot long girders. These girders were connected by sixty-three structural steel members. Together, they formed the 80-foot width of the Canopy. The wooden sheathing and architectural cladding that is supported by the canopy’s inner steel structure was installed at the construction site.

The fabricated girders and structural members combined weight exceeds 33,000 lb.

Piping Technology & Products also supplied the steel framing that supports the sheathing and cladding, roof drains and piping installed inside the canopy.

Structural Pipe Hangers for a Pipe Seismic Restraint Project

Piping Technology & Products, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pipe Shields, Inc. designed and fabricated many structural pipe hangers for an on-going project to rebuild the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The pipe hangers are made out of A-36 carbon steel and galvanized to withstand corrosion from the ocean waters and rough winds. These pipe supports will be welded to Pipe Shields’ C Model Anchor Plates, which are set in a cast concrete to the bottom cavity of the bridge.

Supports pictured utilize friction holding devices known as MegaLug®, which permit attachment to the pipes without welding. These supports were designed and fabricated to include improvements in regard to strength and durability to withstand high loads during earthquakes and other seismic events.
