The latest range of Variable Effort Pipe Supports has been designed to cater for the ever-increasing space limitations on offshore rigs and other process plants.
Wide load and movement range
Robust and compact design: installed heights designed to a minimum
Infinitely variable preset and locking device
Large stocks of semi-finished units held for quick deliveries
Application
Variable Effort Supports are used to support the weight of pipework or equipment whilst allowing a degree of movement relative to the supporting structure.
Where pipes transport hot (or cold) liquids or gases they expand (or contract) due to the difference between operating and ambient temperatures. It is necessary to support the pipe in operating and ambient conditions, whilst permitting movement between the two.
Load Range
A wide range of variable effort supports are available catering for loads from 3.43kgf to 39120kgf.
The standard range of variable supports offers 5 travel ranges over 29 spring sizes enabling the engineer to optimise his selection of spring stiffness giving the lowest possible variability.
Maintenance-Free
Variable Effort Supports are designed to be maintenance-free.
Selection
Selection of Variable Effort Supports can either be done manually from the catalogue, or by using a software program that is available to download here .
