How to Setup a Variable Spring Support
Variable spring supports carry the pipe weight while allowing vertical travel. Load varies at a constant rate with the vertical movement.
-
How to Setup a Constant Spring Support
Constant spring supports deliver a fixed load output across their whole travel range, for high vertical movements and stress-sensitive nozzles.
-
How to Setup a Rigid Hanger
Pipe hangers withstand the pipe load and avoid the friction loads associated with resting supports.
-
How to Setup a Clamp Base
Resting supports - clamp bases, U-bolts and components for guides and anchors - are the most standardised and most common pipe supports.
-
How to Setup a Strut
Linear articulated supports with high rigidity that restrict pipe movement in their axis direction.
-
How to Setup a Snubber (Shock Arrestor)
Hydraulic snubbers absorb large impacts caused by seismic events or water hammer, while leaving normal thermal movement unrestricted.
-
How to Setup a Sliding Plate
PTFE or bronze-graphite plates that cut the friction coefficient in resting supports and reduce the loads caused by horizontal displacement.
