Check out our most recent article that looks at the history of insulated pipe supports through the past 100 years. Learn about the developments made in the 1950′s and 1960′s that introduced the use of “Foam Glass”, a lightweight material that is manufactured primarily from recycled glass and used in the design of insulated pipe supports. Later, polyurethane was developed to provide greater load carrying capabilities. Read the full article on the:

Base Insulated Supports

PT&P fabricated base insulated supports used to minimize thermal conductivity between the base and un-insulated lines. The support is designed with a carbon steel bottom and a stainless steel upper for cryogenic temperatures of -300°F. The insulation is made of 20 PCF polyurethane block. These supports are designed to handle lateral and axial pipe loads. They also include a wear pad for extra pipe reinforcement, which prevents local deformation of the pipe.

3 Cold Shoes for a LNG Plant in California

Single Cold Shoe

These cold shoes are made of polyurethane for cryogenic pipe lines at a liquid nitrogen gas plant. They measure between 8” to 16” in diameter, 30” long with 4” of insulation. These cold shoes provide insulation in the support area where the regular pipe insulation (foam glass) is not sufficient to support the load.

Cold Shoe Pre-Insulated Anchors for an LNG Plant

Side View of Pre-Insulated Anchor

These cold shoes are used for anchoring pipelines against movement caused by thermal expansion and by fluid flow in the pipe. The total weight of the 10 cold shoes is 8,336 lbs. They have 4 1/2″ of insulation and are made to fit a 12″ pipe. Their length varies between 18″ to 24″ for 6″ to 12″ of axial movement. The cold shoe is made of polyurethane insulation and A36 carbon steel. They are drop-in-place anchors that only need to be welded into the pipe run and fastened to the pipe rack. They were manufactured to specific design loads and movements for an LNG plant in Georgia.

Various Sized Cold Shoes for a Chemical Plant

Piping Technology & Products, Inc. designed and manufactured 250 variable sized cold shoes for a chemical plant in Texas.

These cold shoes are designed for cryogenic (low temperature) pipelines where direct contact with the pipe cannot be made. These shoes come with two pieces, top and bottom, and are made of polyurethane foam. They are then wrapped in vapor barriers, covered with a protective shield and placed in a pipe saddle.

Cryogenic Pipe Anchors For A Gas Refinery

Inside of the Pipe Anchor

Piping Technology & Products, Inc. manufactured cryogenic pipe anchors for gas refinery in Savannah, Georgia. The pipe anchors were fabricated with stainless steel and insulated with polyurethane foam. In order to prevent cold pumping, better known as temperature driven moisture penetration, polyurethane foam was poured around a stainless steel reinforcing pad. The ten cryogenic pipe anchors were fabricated to support 4-inch, 8-inch and 12-inch pipes. PT&P’s pre-insulated pipe supports department is devoted to the production of pipe insulation productions for both hot and cold applications.

The PT&P catalog for cold shoes, hot shoes and other pre-insulated pipe supports is near completion. Draft copies of the catalog were distributed to certain customers for review. PT&P is now using the feedback received as a basis for revising and improving our first draft. Finished copies of the PT&P Pre-Insulated Pipe Supports Catalog will be available in late 1998.
