December 11, 2017
| Type: | Constant Spring Supports |
| Size: | 52 1/4″ x 62 1/8″ |
| Material: | Carbon Steel |
| Design: | Operating Load 21,600 to 26,350 lbs & of 3-7” of Movement |
| Testing: | Standard Load & Travel Tests |
PT&P custom designed and manufactured constant spring supports for a power plant in Canada. A total of four constant assemblies were fabricated from carbon steel. The customer designed with dimensions of 100-73-E, & 100-69-E with a thermo chemical process. They are designed for operating load 21,600 to 26,350 lbs and operating movement of 3-7” of movement. Load and travel testing were performed prior to the shipment.

November 20, 2017
| Type: | Big Ton Spring Supports |
| Size: | 42″ x 24″ x 26 1/2″ |
| Material: | Carbon Steel |
| Design: | 94,261 lb. Load & 0.085” Movement |
| Testing: | Standard Load Tests |
PT&P custom designed big ton spring supports for a propane dehydrogenation application at a chemical plant in Texas. The components within this assembly include the spring housing, coils, name plates, pressure plate, and load indicator. While both assemblies measure 42” L x 24” W x 26-1/2” H, it was modified based on independent specifications for operating loads and movement to accommodate a load of 94,261 lb. and 0.085” of movement. This type of support is ideal for applications, such as supporting pressure vessels that combine very heavy loads with thermal expansion because of the stability they provide. The big ton was tested in the load cell to insure proper operation throughout the entire working range of the coils.

Custom Compact Springs Designed to Support a Storage Tank
| Type: | Compact Spring Supports |
| Material: | A-36 Carbon Steel | HDG | Stainless Steel |
| Design: | 0.25″ Movement (upward) | 5,000 lb. Load |
| Testing: | Load and Travel Testing |
These compact spring supports were custom designed to support a storage tank at a facility in Texas. The housing was fabricated from A-36 carbon steel and hot-dipped galvanized to protect them against corrosion. The disc springs are engineered using the stainless steel Belleville disc springs designed for large loads but small movements. In this case, the springs are designed to support a load of 5,000 lb. and movement of 0.25″ (upward). Each assembly underwent load testing prior to shipment.

Cryogenic Pipe Supports Designed for a Facility in Massachusetts
September 11, 2017
| Type: | Cryogenic Pipe Supports |
| Material: | Carbon Steel | Polyurethane |
| Design: | -320°F | 36″ – 48″ Dia. | 52″ W x 57″ H x 67″ L |
PT&P received an order to custom design 16 cryogenic pipe supports for a contractor in Massachusetts. They needed a pipe forming a T-section lined with insulation and trimmed to accommodate the pipe perpendicular to the shoe length. The overall dimensions of the order are pipe sizes ranging from 36″ to 48″ in diameter, 52″ width and 57″ to 67″ height. Our insulation is designed to support the pipe and its contents. When insulated pipes are supported, the weight of the pipe, the contents, the operating temperature, and the amount of energy loss must be considered. In order to support the pipe and minimize energy loss from heat transfer, a pre-insulated pipe support is necessary. If the material in the pipe is high temperature such as high pressure steam or heating oil, then high temperature insulation is required, and these supports are called hot shoes. If the material is cold, such as liquefied natural gas, cooling water or ammonia, then low temperature insulation is needed, and these types of supports are called cold shoes.
