The products outlined in
this catalog - STANDARD
SUPPORTS 2010 - are fully
in line with the latest developments in support technology and satisfy general
requirements for plant
installation at the highest
level. For the general
design of LISEGA standard
supports, uniform criteria
are applied. They are
described in the following
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
and are binding for the
contents of this catalog.
Componentrelated features
are outlined in the corresponding sections of the
product groups and in the
type data sheets
Unless expressly agreed
otherwise, the stipulations
in the catalog STANDARD
SUPPORTS 2010 apply to
all our shipments.

1. STANDARD SUPPORTS
1.1 Requirements
For the support of industrial piping systems,
the use of standard supports is regarded as
well proven, up-to-date technology.
Only a correspondingly high level of standardization in support components can adequately
satisfy the justifiable demand for products
that are technically top-class and economically attractive at the same time. The complex
requirements for modern pipe supports are:

reliable functioning
maintenance-free operation
low unit prices
simple planning with DP systems
instant availability
economical installation strategy
easy to install designs
supplementary service benefits

1.2 Definition
Standard supports must fulfill the following
criteria:
component shapes are uniform and
designed for optimum exploitation
of material
units are compatible regarding connecting
dimensions and loading capacity
units are cataloged and clearly identifiable
by a designation system
components are manufactured in
series production
components comply with the relevant
standards and international regulations
functional capacity, suitability and
durability of the units is well proven
components are certified and
approved for use
The relevant codes for pipe supports in
German plant construction (power plants),
VGB guideline R 510 L, require the preferential use of standard supports and define the
criteria as follows:

0.1

Standard supports are pipe support components, the construction of which, in form
and dimensions as well as in the design
data relating to loading capacity, is certificated
and cataloged, and which are manufactured
according to firmly established, reproducible
procedures, e.g. series production.
2. LISEGA STANDARD SUPPORTS
2.1 Scope
At LISEGA, standard supports form the basis
of a comprehensive performance package.
A complete program from more than 8000
standardized components thereby covers all
operational loads, temperatures and travel
ranges normally met in piping systems in
industrial plant construction:
 1200F operating temperature for
pipe clamps and clamp bases
90 kips nominal load for all mainly
statically determined components
224 kips nominal load for rigid struts
and standard shock absorbers
1124 kips design load for large bore
shock absorbers
36 inch travel range for constant hangers
16 inch travel range for spring hangers
2.2 Design features
Specially developed components are available
for the various support functions. In the
design and construction of the units, fundamental design principles have been taken
into consideration:

symmetrical design shapes

compact installation dimensions
especially reliable function principles
extra wide adjustment ranges
fully compatible load ranges and
connection dimensions
favorable performance/weight ratios
integrated installation aids

0
In addition, LISEGA hangers feature only one
upper attachment point. As a result, and due
also to the compact and symmetrical design
shape, the load transfer free of moments to
the connecting elements is ensured and
simple installation enabled. The operational
position of the moving parts (hangers,
supports and shock absorbers) can be read
directly off a travel scale. Load adjustment
of the constant hangers and supports can be
modified at all times, also in the installed
condition under load. Hangers and supports
can be blocked in any travel position.
2.3 Principle of the optimum design type
For the design of support components, optimum coverage of the specific support function is the decisive factor. For each function
only one component is therefore required,
namely, the optimum one for the purpose.
The project engineer is spared costly selection
from a series of alternative solutions. This
not only facilitates application but also
increases safety. Above and beyond this, it
is a prerequisite for the rational application
of standardized construction on the principle
of the modular system.
Theres only ONE best solution!
3. LISEGA MODULAR SYSTEM
3.1 Fundamentals
The cost of pipe supports is a major element
in the total cost of a piping system.
The cost of the supports is the accumulated
total cost arising from:

project management (processing)

design and engineering work
use of materials (components) as well as
installation work

The pipe supports are almost always critical

for the commissioning deadline and can,
through delayed delivery, cause incalculable
extra costs. The aim of LISEGA product strategy is to forge, out of all the cost factors involved, the common cost minimum for the
user in the sense of the economic principle.

The LISEGA modular system is specially targeted towards this efficiency. The standardization of components forms the foundation and
is the precondition for rational series production, dependable quality, systematic warehousing and computer assisted application. With
the LICAD design system and corresponding
logistics, significant rationalization effects
can be achieved in engineering, design and
installation.

The economic principle:

= from the least possible
effort the maximum
possible profit

= Total Cost Minimum/TCM

=====================

3.2 Scope
The standardization at LISEGA extends beyond the components to their systematic interaction. To this end, load and travel distribution as well as function and connections
are meaningfully coordinated.
In this way the LISEGA standard support
program has been developed as a functional
modular system with logical linking. The individual units form modules therein and are
compatible regarding loads and connections.
This enables the formation of meaningful combinations to produce support configurations
fulfilling all requirements. The large selection
of components makes adaptation possible to
widely differing support and application
situations.
Product groups
3.3 Product groups
The standardized units are divided into 7
product groups according to their basic modes
of function (see diagram, page 0.3, and table,
Standardized Components, page 0.4).
3.4 Load groups
To guarantee compatible loads in unit combinations, the load spectrum is split into
fixed load groups.
Within a load group (nominal load), all components feature uniform load limits and stress
safety characteristics. The connection shapes
of the units (threads - either metric or UNC
according to market area - or pin diameters)
are uniform within a group and thus compatible. Components of different product groups
can therefore be connected only within a uniform load group to safe load chains and the
faulty combination of different load groups
is precluded. As all units in a load group are
designed uniformly regarding strength, the
stresses on a complete chain of components

+ load groups
+ travel ranges
+ connection compatibility

are uniformly determined.

For permissible stresses, a difference is made
between statically and dynamically determined
components. The units in product groups 1,
2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are stressed in only one
load direction (statically or quasistatically)
and are considered to be statically determined
components. The components in Product
Group 3, as well as their accessories, are
loaded in alternating directions and are therefore regarded as dynamically determined
components.

groups and load cases, are set out in the

LISEGA load tables (see page 0.5). The definition of load cases is regulated according to
ASME III, Div. 1 Subsection NF, ASME B
31.1/MSS SP58 and DIN 18800, VGB-R 510
L, KTA 3205.
The load table applies uniformly to all components in the LISEGA modular system and
to other LISEGA units systematically connected
to it, e.g. integral special designs (see load
table, page 0.5).

3.5.1 Static components

The nominal load is used for the determination of load groups. For the statically determined components in Product Groups 1, 2,
4, 6, 7, the nominal load corresponds to
the max. adjustment load of the spring elements, such as spring hangers and constant
hangers. The maximum permissible hot load
(load case H) lies considerably higher than
the nominal load when components are
used as rigid supports, and is tied to the
load capacity of the connection threads.
LISEGA threaded rods should therefore only
be replaced in kind (see page 6.5, 6.6).
Spring and constant hangers in the blocked
position also count as rigid supports, whereby for cold loads in hydrostatic tests (short
duration) the emergency loads (level C) can
be exploited.

3.5.2 Dynamic components

For dynamically determined
units, the stipulation of the
nominal loads follows from
the meaningful division of
the standardizable load
spectrum. Here, the nominal
load corresponds at the
same time to the operating
load for load event level
A/B (ASME).
As these components are
generally used to guard
against emergencies, the
load event level C (ASME),
possibly even level D, is
usually adopted as the max.
expected operating load.
In each case the project
engineers instructions
apply.

For Product Group 4 (pipe connections) a limited area of overlapping in the load groups
is foreseen, due to the temperature-related,
variable spectrum of loading capacities. Data
on the permissible loads relating to the respective operating temperature are set out for
pipe connection components in the individual type data sheets.
For Product Group 5 see 3.5.5, page 0.5.

3.5.3 Max. permissible loads (lbs) for statically determined components

 Max. operating load for spring
and constant hangers corresponding to max. load on load springs.

 Permissible loads according to

the design criteria for US code
MSS SP 58 (ASME B 31.1).
 All loads are to be included
hereunder that can possibly result
from the normal operation of the
plant, including start-up and shutdown, load tolerances and hydrostatic tests.
 Loads outside normal operation
are grouped hereunder, possibly
also hydrostatic tests. In each case
a final inspection of the whole
support arrangement is recommended.
 For the given loads, the yield
stress of components can be
reached. In each case replacement
is recommended.

The units in Product Group 5, pipe clamp
bases for cold piping systems, cryogenic
systems, as well as roller bearings and pipe
saddles, are regarded as statically determined,
but are not directly connected with the hanger
supports. As they are comparable with secondary steel components, they constitute a special group. The nominal load corresponds
here to the max. operational load according
to level A.

6. QUALIFICATION LEVELS FOR STANDARD AND

NUCLEAR APPLICATION
Standard supports have the same function
both in the conventional and in the nuclear
field of application, and therefore do not

0.9

differ in design. Due to additional qualityassuring measures and materials with special certification, separate manufacture is however necessary.

0
In the field of nuclear application, all materials are traceable right through to the finished
product via heat number restamping, and the
components themselves are marked according to ASME and KTA regulations. In the
type designation, the nuclear design is noted
in the 5th digit (for struts, the 6th digit). The
relevant component documentation relates
to this and to the fabrication order number.
In this catalog, the standard design, i.e. nonnuclear applications, provides the basis for
the type designations. As the given functional data and unit dimensions are the same for
nuclear applications, selection can also be
made here with the help of the catalog.
On planning or ordering, attention must however be paid to corresponding conformity of
the type designations. The table showing the
type designation system (3.8, page 0.7) can be
consulted in this respect.
7. WELDING
All welding is carried out as gas metal arc
welding - in special cases by stick welding.
LISEGA holds certifications according to:
ASME III Div I NCA NPT stamp
DIN EN 729-2 by the German TV
AD-HPO, production and testing of
pressure vessels, by the TV
DIN 18800 T7 Extended suitability
certification for steelwork and bridge
construction by the SLV, the training
and testing institute for welding
technology
LISEGA welding inspection personnel are qualified according to ASME III NCA 4000 NF,
DIN EN 719, AD HP3 and HP4. Nondestructive tests are carried out by testing
staff qualified acc. to ASME IX and DIN EN
473, level 2, and SNT-TC-1A, level II.
Supporting connections are produced corresponding to the material group by qualified
welders according to ASME IX or DIN EN
287, part 1. The welding procedure is qualified according to ASME IX and DIN EN 288.

8. SURFACE TREATMENT
8.1 Standard coating systems
The surfaces of LISEGA products are protected
as standard from corrosive influences by high
quality protection systems that are also suitable for external use in aggressive conditions
(coastal, industrial and chemical areas).
The following coating systems are applied
to the different products:

Separate manufacture
of products for nuclear
applications for the
traceability of
qualified materials!

8.1.1 Primer coating

Components that are either to be welded

8.1.5 Stainless steel designs

Shock absorbers and energy absorbers
(E-Bars) are made entirely of non-corroding
materials. Connecting parts are electrogalvanized according to 8.1.2.
8.1.6 Cathodic immersion process (CIP)
All LISEGA springs are given special treatment because of their distinctive functional

significance. The peeled surface of the springs

is steel ball blasted and zinc-phosphated; subsequently a 2-component epoxy resin coating
is applied via electroimmersion and then
burnt in at approx. 392F [200C] (CIP).
This highly sophisticated process has been
adopted from the automobile industry.

8.5 Surface protection in extremely

aggressive atmospheres
For applications in specially aggressive atmospheres, e.g. coastal areas, certain industrial
gases or offshore, special measures are to be
agreed on.
9. CONNECTION DIMENSIONS
9.1 Installation dimension E
For the simple determination of minimum
installation lengths, the installation dimension E is given for all components except the
connecting rods (Product Group 6). This
dimension comprises the installation length
minus the engaging length of the connecting
part. For load chains, the E therefore designates the complete rod section.

To determine the total length of the rods in

a load chain, all the E dimensions are to be
added together. The sum of these is then to
be compared with the total installation length.
If the resulting difference is greater than the
sum of the engagement depths (X dimensions),
the chain selected is appropriate for the total
installation height.

Special product-related features are to be

taken into account as follows:

For load chains consisting solely of pin connections, the minimum installation dimension
follows from the sum of all E dimensions.

installation possibilities

9.2 Regulation of the total installation

length
9.2.1 Turnbuckle function of the connecting
threads
For length adjustment in installation condition
(adjustment of pipe installation position, actuation of loading), the lower connections in
constant and spring hangers provide a turnbuckle function. This way, subsequent adjustment of the installation lengths (attachment
rods) within a sufficient range is possible:
for constant hangers type 11,
by 113/4 inch [300mm]
for spring hangers type 21, by the
adjustment possibility of a turnbuckle,
type 62

9.2.4 Rigid struts, type 39

The connections in rigid struts type 39 are
supplied as left/right, with fine threading for
length adjustment in the installation condition
as standard.
Flat faces on the body of the rigid struts enable simple adjustment with a wrench.
10. OPERATIONAL BEHAVIOR
10.1 Function
Constant hangers type 1 are designed so that
in theory no load deviation occurs over the
whole range of action. The total deviation
resulting from springs, bearing friction, and
fabrication tolerances is held to within  5%
in series production.
The load adjustment follows with a level of
accuracy of 2%.

All connection threads are supplied as right

hand threads.
9.2.2 Spring supports
For spring supports types 28 and 29, the
installation height can be regulated by the
support tube, functioning as a spindle independently of the presetting.
The necessary load is actuated on installation
by screwing the support tube upwards.
9.2.3 Turnbuckle, type 62, tie rod, left
hand/right hand thread, type 65
For rigid hanging support arrangements with
short installation lengths, a defined reserve
length in the connection parts type 60 and
61 usually enables sufficient length adjustment. For longer installation lengths, the use
of a turnbuckle L/R, type 62, in conjunction
with a tie rod L/R, type 65, is appropriate.
For easy access, this combination should be
arranged at the lower end of the load chain.

10.2 Spring relaxation
Conventional helical coil springs under load,
depending on time and temperature factors,
lose part of their tension by relaxation (settling loss), a loss that is not inconsiderable.
If no appropriate measures are taken, for
constant and spring hangers this can in the
long run lead to a reduction in adjusted ultimate load of more than 10%.
In contrast to common practice, LISEGA only
uses springs that, through special treatment,
permit no settling loss of any significance.
In these springs the settling loss normally to
be expected is anticipated via the process of
hot setting from a longer coil length, producing corresponding prerelaxation.

measures are prescribed. They are an integral

part of order processing and embrace the
whole LISEGA group.

QMP and Processing

constitute a single entity!

11.2 Quality management program, QMP

The QMP is clearly laid out in a quality management manual, QMM, and regulates all the
quality-assuring activities in the company.
The QMM covers the organization as a whole,
whereby the observance of rules is monitored
by the independent quality management department QM. The QMM has been compiled
according to international quality norms and
standards and specifically takes into account
the regulations according to ASME III - NCA
3800 and NCA 4000 incl. NF as well as DIN
EN ISO 9001 and KTA 1401.

Relaxation

The QMM applies in principle to both the conventional and nuclear fields. The extent of
monitoring of materials and tests, as well as
the documentation, can in each case be
exactly adapted to special requirements by the
use of extended QA levels. All international
requirements concerning nuclear applications
can be covered. Corresponding qualifications
are available and are regularly renewed.
