Pipe Supports

Constant Effort Pipe Supports

Constant Effort Pipe Supports

A range of Constant Effort Pipe Supports which has been designed to cater for the ever-increasing space limitations on offshore rigs, power stations and other process plants. They offer optimum performance and occupy minimum space.

  • ±20% site load adjustment
  • Travel indicator to allow movement to be monitored
  • Lever rotation indicator, to demonstrate at a glance that the support is taking load correctly
  • Low hysteresis to ensure minimum load deviation
  • Infinitely variable locking/balancing device
  • Variable position load pin carrier
  • Construction that allows assembly after galvanising, without welding

Range

The standard range of Constant Effort Supports consists of 11 types and caters for loads up to and above 50 tonnes, with movement provided up to 750mm.
Constant Effort Support

Application

Constant Effort Supports are used to support pipework or equipment with an essentially constant supporting effort during what may be large vertical movement.

Where the change in supporting effort which occurs when using variable effort supports is unacceptable, or where the amount of travel provided by variable effort supports is insufficient, constant effort supports should be specified.

High temperature steam lines in power stations, and flow lines on oil production platforms, are examples of situations where large relative movement between piping and the supporting structure make the use of Constant Effort Supports essential.
