Piping Technology & Products, Inc. designed and built two, 68" in height 100 U-Type constants for a power plant in Mexico.

The vertical upthrust constants were designed to support 48,500 lbs. each with a total upward travel of 3". In order to prevent buckling of the constant housing, each constant was designed with five C7 x 14 3/4 lbs. channels and a base plate of 26 3/8" x 33 1/4". These unique 100 U-Type upthrust constants were custom designed by PT&P to accommodate limited horizontal space requirement. The constants will be placed opposite to each other on a beam capable of supporting 99,000 lbs load of the pipe, plus the weight of the constants.
