Cryogenic pipe supports, ranging in diameter from 6″ to 38″, were designed to support and insulate piping in an LNG receiving and regassification plant. The “cold shoe anchors” were designed for temperatures down to -260°F and a load range of 26,000 lb. to 210,000 lb. A combination of high density polyurethane foam (PUF) and Permali® was used for the insulation. The center stops that are welded to the process pipe were built from 304 stainless steel, and carbon steel was used for the remainder of the shoe.

These cryogenic supports (also known as cold shoes) are fabricated from 20 PCF polyurethane insulation, weigh 650 lb. each and are designed for 30″ diameter pipe. They are comprised of a carbon steel base plate and bearing plate, a vapor barrier and an aluminum jacket. The supports are designed for temperatures as low as -260°F, and measure 27″ length by 44″ height. A total of thirty-four supports were fabricated for natural gas applications, including storage and transport.

Sliding Cryogenic Insulated Supports

These sliding cryoshoes are fabricated from carbon steel with 2″ thick polyurethane insulation. The polyurethane is 20 lb. density, which has a compressive strength of 500 psi and a tensile strength of 600 psi. The cold shoes are designed for temperatures as low as -300°F and for loads up to 3,500 lb. They will be used to support a 60″ diameter low temperature vapor line in a Texas facility.

Pre-Insulated Pipe Supports for an LNG Plant

PT&P manufactured a total of 1,400 supports for an LNG project. 75 of those supports were cold supports completed in less than one week on an emergency basis. The cold shoes were fabricated from a combination of polyurethane foam, carbon steel metal straps, and an aluminum metal jacket for insulation. They are designed for temperatures as low as -300°F and pipe sizes ranging from 12″ to 36″ in diameter. The 36″ diameter shoes are designed for a vertical load of 102,000 lb. and the 12″ diameter shoes are designed for 36,000 lb. load.
