Snubber and Rigid Strut

Snubber and Rigid Strut

Whenever unplanned dynamic loads occur, the dynamic duty components have the job of protecting the piping or other components affected from any damage. Unwanted abrupt movement of the components in the system can be caused by: 1) Internal excitation ; pressure shocks from valve operation, water hammer, pipe breakage, boiler event 2) External excitation ; wind load, seismic events, aircraft impact, explosion Snubber is a device developed to protect high pressure/temperature piping system in power plants and various types of industrial plants. It functions to restrain undesirable displacement of piping system or components when it is oscillate due to seismic or other type dynamic load, while it allows their free movement during the normal operating mode. On the other hand, rigid strut sustains the dynamic load, but do not allow axial movement. However, as it has angular bearings, limited angular movement is permitted. For the dynamic duty components, the dynamic loads are grouped as follows ; Rated Load for Dynamic Duty Components Size No. 03 06 1 3 6 10 16 25 40 60 100 Rated Load (kN) 3 6 10 30 60 100 160 250 400 600 1,000

(2) Self-contained oil reservoir eliminates fluid leakage from sealed connections. (3) High durability of seal materials assures longer service duration without frequent maintenance work. (4) Well-engineered construction simplifies disassembling and re-assembling of the unit, assuring easier maintenance works. (5) Installable in a limited space because of a plain cylindrical contour. (6) Filled with thoroughly verified genuine hydraulic fluid. (7) Easy-to-read stroke indicator.
