Two 16 Dia. HD-2 Hold Down Clamps for an Oil Refinery

Piping Technology and Products, Inc. recently designed and manufactured two HD-2 hold down clamps to fit a 16 pipe at an oil refinery in Michigan.  These hold down clamps are designed to be used on pipe lines where there is a high temperature and great thermal movement requirements. They allow axial movement while restraining lateral movement. The clamp and base plate are fabricated from carbon steel with PTFE, 25% glass filled, bonded to the radius and plate.

Two Hundred HD-2 Hold Down Clamps

PT&P designed and manufactured two hundred and thirty HD-2 hold down clamps to fit 6” to 8” pipes at a chemical refinery. These hold down clamps are used on pipe lines where there is a high temperature and great thermal movement requirements, they allow axial movement and restrain lateral movement at the same time. The clamps are fabricated from carbon steel with 3/32” PTFE, 25% glass filled, bonded to the radius. The plates are manufactured from three layers of materials; 3/32” PTFE, 25% glass filled, 1/2” thick fabric belting material and carbon steel.

72” Roller Stands for a Cooling Tower

PT&P fabricated heavy-duty roller stands, 60” and 72” in diameter, to support large pipes in a cooling tower. The roller stands support loads up to 60,000 lbs. while allowing the pipe axial movement during temperature fluctuation. To reduce friction the rollers are fabricated out of machined carbon steel. The round bar and the stands are fabricated from A-36 carbon steel plate.

Three Segments 120° 72” diameter Saddle Support with Neoprene Backing

PT&P fabricated various sized pipe saddle supports used to support water mains for the city of Houston.  The pipe saddles, ranging from 30”-72” in length and 12” in width are made to cover 1/3 of the pipe’s circumference. They are made of A-304 stainless steel with a neoprene backing.

These saddles are used to provide a sliding surface between metal water mains and concrete base supports at fault crossings. The neoprene backing helps to dissipate any shock loads and provides an anti-skid surface at the fault crossing locations.

20,500 lb Riser Clamps for a Power Plant

PT&P recently fabricated 22 Fig. 190 Type 3 riser clamps for suspending the vertical runs of pipe at the central power plant in Puerto Rico.  The clamps are designed for 17" and 24” pipes and have an overall length of 71" and 87” respectively. Both designs have a bar stock size of 1.75"x10" and load bolts of 2.75" diameter. Utilizing gusset plates at the clamp’s bend radius allowed for the smallest, yet sufficient clamp stock size for the specified loads. The smaller clamp has an operating capacity of 14,000 lbs while the larger operates at 20,500 lbs. Chrome-Moy 387 Grade 22 bar stock was used with A193 Grade B7 bolting to accommodate high temperature operating conditions.
