RIGID SUPPORTSRigid pipe supports restrict movement in at least one direction. This support system is directly connected a structural member structure or foundation. Depending on the support design, it may not allow for thermal movement. These include pipe hangers, shoes, cradles and restraint. Click here to understand the different types of rigid pipe supports.
ADJUSTABLE PIPE SUPPORTSThe design of Adjustable pipe supports is such that manual adjustment can occur, to suit specific site conditions. A threaded assembly provides adjustment where the exact height (BOP) is unclear, or the supports require retro-fitting after installation of pipe.
SPRING SUPPORTSSpring supports commonly support piping and other elements that are subject to thermal loads or movement, and will support the pipe while accommodating movement. Commonly used in process piping in the resources, oil & gas and chemical industry, or anywhere thermal loads are a risk to piping or connections..
