The range of dynamic restraints includes rigid struts, stiff clamps, fixing brackets and snubbers.
In pipework systems which are subject to dynamic loading, it may be necessary to use rigid struts, which act in both directions, rather than hanger rods, which only support downward acting loads. Rigid struts are also used to provide lateral restraint where this is required.
Snubbers are used where dynamic restraint is required, but the pipe has to be allowed to move thermally.
Features include:
Rigid Struts
A comprehensive range of rigid struts is available covering loading up to more than 90 tonnes with lengths up to 6 metres (12’8”). The struts are designed for ease of use and to provide a cost-effective dynamic restraint.
Welding Clevis
The welding clevis provides means of attachment of rigid struts and snubbers to steelwork. The welding clevis is designed to provide +/- 5 degrees and +/- 90 degrees of angulation.
Snubbers
This range of hydraulic snubbers covers loadings up to and above 85 tonnes, with cylinder stroke up to 20” (508mm). The numbering system and sizes of end fittings are compatible with the other dynamic restraint components.
Clamps for Rigid Struts and Snubbers
A comprehensive range of clamps for rigid struts and snubbers is also available.
