Size a Spring Hanger Now

The illustration below shows three applications of spring supports and one involving a counterweight. In figure (A), a variable spring support is placed under the horizontal pipe just left of a vertical section which has a guide and rigid support. In (B) a variable hanger is suspended from above and connected to the elbow above the vertical section. In (C) the designer has chosen a constant load hanger because the vertical section is connected to a critical nozzle. A counterweight such as shown in (D) may be useful when pipe weights are unknown and must be balanced in the field. Piping Technology & Products, Inc. will calculate and custom-fabricate such counterweights for you.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The Manufacturers Standardization Society (MSS) has standard practices SP-58 and SP-69 which are widely used in our industry. ASME B31.1 and B31.3 are important standards for piping in the power and petrochemical industries. Moreover, many of our customers have their own standards and designs for pipe supports. At Piping Technology & Products, Inc., we always keep these guidelines in mind and manufacture your supports to their strict specifications. In this section, you will find our standard variable and constant pipe supports.
