Piping Technology & Products ranked #26 on the Houston Business Journal 2026 Largest Manufacturing Firms list.
Piping Technology & Products, Inc. (PT&P) was founded as a pipe stress engineering firm in 1975. Our founder got his start by designing a thick-walled expansion joint for Dow Plaquemine. Dow was so pleased, they placed a large scale order to roll out the solution across all Dow plants, which allowed our founder to quit his job, and start PT&P. Over the last 45+ years, we've expanded and are now best known for manufactured products. However, our roots in engineering are core to our DNA and how we approach all aspects of the business. Today, PT&P is the only major global manufacturer of Engineered Pipe Supports and Expansion Joints. We have approximately 480 employees including 400+ production employees, 50+ design engineers, and 10 Industrial Engineers at our Houston Headquarters and other facilities. We have performed Field Service work in 41 countries, conducted over 1,000 plant audits, and worked with almost every major EPC, Petrochem, Chemical, and Power company. When you work with PT&P, you can be assured that no other company has seen and solved more issues around Piping Systems than we have.

Slide Bearing Plates
Our comprehensive selection of slide bearing plates is engineered to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction in industrial piping systems. By reducing the coefficient of friction between the bearing pipe support and the structural steel, these assemblies prevent dangerous stress build-up that could damage the pipeline or anchors.
We manufacture various configurations to suit specific environmental needs, including standard ptfe slide plates for low-friction applications, high-temperature graphite options, and heavy-duty Bronzphite® units. Whether your application requires a simple slide bearing for ambient conditions or specialized bearing plates for extreme heat and load, our slide plates ensure smooth, controlled movement and long-term structural reliability.
TPI and FRP Wear Pads
Thermoplastic isolators (TPI) provide optimum support and eliminate pipe contact with the supporting steel. FRP wear pads are used as corrosion protection on uninsulated pipes and can be secured to FRP pipes to provide an extra layer of pipe and thereby extend the life of the pipe.

Learn MoreExpansion Joints
What is an expansion joint? In industrial engineering, a pipe expansion joint is a critical component that absorbs dimensional changes in a system caused by thermal fluctuations, vibration, or settling. Our comprehensive line of piping expansion joints effectively manages stress, preventing damage to anchors, mechanical equipment, and piping. We manufacture a range of configurations, including heavy-duty bellows expansion joints and flexible rubber connectors, tailored to specific pressure and temperature requirements. At the core of many of these units is the pipe expansion bellows, a flexible element that compresses or elongates to accommodate pipe expansion. Whether you require fabric, rubber, or metallic expansion bellows for pipes, our engineered solutions provide the necessary flexibility and durability to maintain system integrity.
