Stresses in Clamp and Saddle
Image of some hold downs. Vibrations produced by rotating machinery are very common for industrial piping systems. Bracing devices can be used to cope with vibration. Hold downs are one of the most widely used pipe support devices to restrain or dampen pipe vibration. A common location for applying a hold down exists near a compressor. The objective is to limit vibration caused by rotating equipment in order to avoid damage to the surrounding piping system. The hold down restrains the vibration introduced by the compressor as it compresses the gases in the pipe line. Hold downs are effective for the control of vibration and/or movement.

Vibration Control: PT&P’s Capabilities

Pipe Technology & Products, Inc. can custom design and fabricate hold downs for any pipe size application. In additional to hold downs, PT&P also offers other types of vibration control devices to accommodate different pipe orientations and locations:
