3400 lb. Loads Type F Spring Hangers for Overseas Refinery Plant

The photograph above shows a unique combination of Type F variable springs designed by a client engineer to support large skid-mounted pumps. Piping Technology & Products, Inc. fabricated the connecting assemblies which use variable springs inside pods to support the pump skids from the side. The number of pods varies from size to twelve, depending on the size of the pump, and the loads supported by each type F spring vary from 1800 to 3400 pounds depending on the geometry of the assembly. The distance between rods varies from two to three feet. A total of nine units are being exported to refinery project overseas.
