Big Ton Spring Supports with Slide Plates Designed for a Chemical Processing Plant
A total of 18 big ton springs of various sizes were fabricated from A516 Gr. 70N carbon steel. The big tons were designed in a rectangular configuration in order to match the existing vessel saddle supports and the concrete foundation below the springs. PTFE, 25% glass filled slide plates will be welded on the load flanges to allow horizontal movement in addition to the vertical movements specified. The largest of the big ton assemblies has an operating load of 79,000 lb. with a travel of .706″ down.

Custom Sway Brace Supports
The sway braces will be used in pairs to support a 72″ diameter cooling tower supply line via a common attachment point. The internal components and housing are fabricated from carbon steel, and A-5160 spring steel was used for the coil. Each sway brace has a spring rate of 10,100 lb/in. with an overall available travel of 3″. The adjustable ends are configured so that one end bracket is interlocked with the mating end bracket of its sister sway brace; therefore, enabling them to be connected to the pipe by a single lug.
Do you require sway braces for an upcoming project? Let us price them for you today!
Instrument Stands for a Heavy Oil Refinery
PT&P manufactured 55 instrument stands from carbon steel with a hot-dipped galvanize finish. They are 75″ tall and 90″ wide, and will support various instruments and junction boxes in a heavy oil refinery.

72" I.D. Cryogenic Insulated Supports for a Project in Algeria
PT&P manufactured 72″ dia. insulated supports for temperatures as low as -260°F. The insulation is multi-layered comprised of polyurethane foam with a density of 20 PCF, a vapor barrier, an aluminum metal jacket, and acoustic pads. The acoustic pads are installed around the cold shoe to absorb vibration. The base and bearing plates are fabricated from carbon steel. The shoes will be used to support and insulate piping in a receiving & regassification plant and refinery.
