Dear Customer
Piping Technology &
Products Announces a New Patent for High
Temperature Support for Insulated Pipes.
09/07/2005
PT&P has developed a
high capacity support for insulated pipes which
does not rely on the insulation to carry any of
the load. The design has several advantages over
previous designs:
 |
-
Since the insulation does not carry
any mechanical load, it can be
chosen solely on the basis of its
thermal properties. In particular,
cyclic loading, which has caused
insulation failure, is not a
problem.
- The
support provides effective restraint
for all six possible components of
loads, X, Y, Z-Rotational and
Translational. In particular, axial
and torsional loads are readily
accommodated. These represent
difficulties for supports which rely
on the insulation.
- It
is easily installed in the field. It
is attached to the pipe with a
standard bolted pipe clamp. Thus
there is no field welding.
|
The support consists of a
shoe, similar to the PT&P Fig. 4500 Insulated
Shoe Support for Hot Pipe (Hot Shoe) and two
clamps, similar to the PT&P Fig. 50 Light Two
Bolt Pipe Clamp. Each clamp is attached to the
shoe by a steel plate which is designed to carry
the design load, and is shape optimized to
minimize heat flow from the pipe.
