Snubbers are restraining devices used to control the movement of pipe and equipment during abnormal dynamic conditions such as earthquakes, turbine trips, safety/relief valve discharge and rapid valve closure. The design of a snubber allows free thermal movement of a component during normal operation conditions, but restrains the component in abnormal conditions. Piping Technology & Products, Inc. manufactures both mechanical and hydraulic snubbers. Hydraulic and mechanical snubbers are both used heavily in nuclear applications as well as in earthquake and hurricane prone areas.
