SPRING HANGERS
SPRING SUPPORTS
To prevent constraints in
the system, thermal
expansion in the piping
and other piping components must not be hindered. The piping must therefore be supported in a correspondingly elastic manner.

Spring elements
To compensate for slight vertical displacements in the piping, spring components are
used as supports. The functioning of these
components is based on preset helical coil
springs which exert a variable supporting
load over the whole range of movement
corresponding to the given spring characteristics. Load variations resulting from this are
limited through corresponding specifications
based on stress calculations for the piping this depends on the sensitivity of the
system.
The fundamental principles relevant for the
function of the spring components are found
in the MSS SP 58 and VGB R 510 L guidelines. See Technical Specifications, page 0.5.

Spring hanger, type 21

LISEGA spring hangers

Various versions of spring elements, ideally
suited to whatever structural requirements
exist, are available. The optimum choice
depends on the installation situation.
Spring hangers, type 21
This type, the one most frequently used, is
fitted with an upper connection for suspension. It is installed wherever
the surrounding location
offers a suitable connection
point and sufficient
space. The upper
connections can be
universally adapted
with standard components to any given
situation.

Spring hangers, type 25

This type is frequently used for
its simple installation, just seating it on the existing steel. The
connection is made by a rod
passing through the unit.
Spring supports, type 29
If the installation location does
not permit suspension, then this model is a
suitable alternative as a
prop support. Where there
is considerable horizontal
displacement of the support
load, and steel slides on
steel, lateral forces can
under certain conditions
have an adverse effect on
the operation of the support system. To take precautions
against this, the use of PTFE bearings is
recommended. In this case the counter bearing should have a stainless steel surface.

Angulating spring supports, type 20
Unlike the spring support type 29,
horizontal displacement can be
taken up almost free of lateral
forces by this design.
This way that constraining frictional forces are completely
excluded at all levels of movement, vertical and horizontal.
Sway braces, type 27
These particular components act both in
tension and compression and are used to
stabilize the piping and other plant components. An additional damping effect is
obtained at the same time. The connection
parts correspond with those of Product
Group 3.

the blocking device can be blocked in

any position. The blocking pieces can be
reinserted in any required position.
Spring hangers and supports should be set
in such a way that the spring load and the
piping weight correspond with the cold load
position.
The corresponding hot load position results
from the theoretically determined pipe movement (travel) and the spring rate.
The load difference between the cold and
hot positions acts on the piping as a reaction force and is limited by the relevant
design specifications.
Generally, the max. permissible load deviation amounts to 25% of the operating load.

Angulating spring support,

type 20

Above and beyond that, constant hangers

exerting a constant supporting load over the
whole travel range are to be used.
With LISEGA sway
braces, type 27, the following adjustments
can be made:
load presetting
free stroke
installation dimension
See also Installation and Operating
Instructions, page 2.17
Load setting and blocking
Spring hangers and supports are preset at the
works to the installation load and blocked in
both directions of movement. Blocking is
necessary to take up additional loads during
pickling, flushing, or hydrostatic tests.
The factory settings are carried out on electronically controlled test benches:
with spring hangers, values set at the
factory are stamped onto a riveted name
plate.
the installation position is marked on the
travel scale.
cold and hot settings are marked on the
travel scale with a white and red sticker
respectively.

Selection of spring hangers

A decisive factor for the reaction force is the
stiffness of the spring rate value of the respective coil springs. To cover the widest possible field of application using spring hangers, the load ranges are divided into 5 travel ranges.
Please see Technical Specifications page 0.13
for details of usage. See also the selection
table, pages 2.3 and 2.4, as well as
Installation and Operating Instructions, page
2.15.

SELECTION OF
SPRING ELEMENTS
SELECTION CRITERIA FOR SPRING
HANGERS AND SUPPORTS
Permissible force variation
The permissible force variation between
cold load (installation load) position to
hot load (operating load) position is
limited internationally by common specifications for pipe stress analysis to max.
25% of the operating load.
Maximum working travel
Additionally, to preclude functional
impairment due to instability from extra
long springs,
a working travel of maximum 2 inch
[50mm] should not be exceeded.

Spring rates
To cover as wide a field of applications
as possible while adhering to these
standards, LISEGA spring elements are
divided into 5 travel ranges with correspondingly different spring rates.
Extra long springs
Travel ranges 4 & 5 relate to extra long
springs and should only be used after
technical evaluation of the whole situation, especially in sensitive piping
systems.

Design types
The selection of the suitable design
type depends upon the respective support configuration or installation situation.
Economical unit size
To find the most economical size, the
following procedures apply:

INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Spring hangers and supports are used to compensate for the thermal movement to be expected in
piping systems. For
trouble-free functioning,
correct installation is
essential, observing the
following instructions:

Spring hangers and spring supports

types 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29
1. Transport and storage
When transporting, threaded connections
and travel stops must not be damaged.
When stored in the open they should be
protected from dirt and moisture.
2. Delivery condition
Unless agreed otherwise, spring hangers and
spring supports are delivered to the site
blocked in the installation position.
When hangers or supports are blocked (travel
stop in both directions), the spring plate is
locked by a special blocking device in the
housing slots.
All spring hangers and supports are supplied
with a riveted aluminum name plate fitted
with an integral travel scale.
The following information is stamped on the
name plate:

Spring hanger, type 21 (blocked)

The blocking units for single spring models consist of

a set of hinged metal plates. Individual plates can be
swivelled into any desired blocking position.

2.1 Spring hangers, type 21

Spring hangers, type 21, have upper and
lower connections fitted with right-hand
threads. At the top they consist of an internal
thread engagement of limited depth, and at
the bottom a turnbuckle. The threads are filled
with grease and sealed with plastic caps.





On the travel scale, the theoretical operating

position is marked with a red, and the theoretical cold position with a white sticker.
Also, the position of the spring plate is marked
with an X on the travel scale.
The read out is made at the bottom edge of
the spring plate.




Angulated spring support,

type 20

2.2 Spring hangers, type 22

The upper connection of these hangers is
supplied as a lug for a connecting pin. The
lower connection consists of a turnbuckle
with righthand thread.
2.3 Spring hangers, type 25 & 26
Spring hangers, type 25 & 26 are provided
with a fixed support tube to accommodate
the connecting rod.

Spring hanger, type 22

2.4 Spring supports, type 28 & 29

The spring supports are provided with either
one or four adjustable support tubes fitted
with a loosely mounted, but guided load
plate. The support tubes are screwed in and
the threads greased.
2.5 Angulating spring supports, type 20
The angulating spring supports are provided
at the top with an adjustable support tube
and a rotatable ball bushing joint, at the
bottom with a fixed ball bushing joint. The
joints provide a suitable connection to the
corresponding weld-on brackets type 35. The
support tube is screwed in and the threads
greased.

2.6 Sway braces, type 27

Sway braces are provided at the top with a
length-adjustable ball bushing joint and at
the bottom with a fixed lug suitable for connection to weld-on bracket type 35 or dynamic clamp type 36 or 37. Presetting of the
load and if necessary the free stroke are
carried out at the works in accordance with
customer requirements.
3. Installation
When installing, the rules given in Installation
Instructions for Piping must also be observed.
Special care must also be given to the
installed position of the connecting rods
over the whole support chain. Two possibilities are the norm:
1. The connecting rods are to be installed at
an angle corresponding to the horizontal displacement to be expected. A vertical position
of the rods is expected under normal operating conditions.

Sway brace, type 27

2. The connecting rods are to be installed

vertically for easier checking. A controlled
angled position under normal operating conditions is thereby permitted.
hot position
cold position

In each case there should be unified rules

and regulations for the whole plant.
Connecting rods and points must be actuated
by load at connection points.

Case 1
Attachment rods vertical during
plant operation

cold position
hot position

Case 2
Attachment rods vertical in
installation condition

2.17

3.1 Spring hangers, type 21

Connection is made by screwing the connecting rod into the upper threaded connection
hole in type 21, and by screwing the lower
connecting rod into the turnbuckle.
As a tension range and length adjustment,
the turnbuckle length available in the hanger
can be used for the connecting rod.
3.2 Spring hanger, type 22
Connection is made by pinning the lug to the
upper attachment point and by screwing the
lower connecting rod into the turnbuckle.
As a tension range and length adjustment,
the turnbuckle length available in the hanger
can be used for the connecting rod.

3.3 Spring hangers, type 25 & 26

These spring hangers are set on beams and
correspondingly positioned. Once the precise
position is defined the unit should be secured
against horizontal movement. The load actuated connection is made via the connecting
rod, which is led throught the support tube
and tightened with a nut.
3.4 Spring supports, type 28 & 29
After positioning, these spring supports are
connected to the structure by bolting or welding the base plate to the structure. Load
distribution is applied through the load
plate or through one or more adjustable
load tubes.
3.5 Angulating spring supports, type 20
The angulating spring supports are connected to the structure after corresponding
positioning by welding the lower weld-on
bracket. Load distribution is applied through
the upper weld-on bracket via the pin
connection to the height-adjustable load
tube.
3.6 Sway braces, type 27
After positioning of the connection points,
the weld-on brackets are attached and
connection is made through the connection
pins of the brackets or dynamic clamps.
The ball bushing joints allow a  11/2 inch
[37.5 mm] adjustment of installation length.
4. Removing the travel stops
The spring hangers and supports should only
be deblocked when the set load is fully
applied to all the supports, which form one
system. If this is the case, the travel stops
can easily be removed. If the travel stops are
jammed, the load actually applied does not
correspond with the theoretical adjusted
load. (See Installation and Operating
Instructions, Constant Hangers, page 1.23,
item 4, in this regard).

5. Load readjustment
5.1 Spring hangers, spring supports
For spring hangers the load can be readjusted
by loosening or tightening the threaded rods
at the lock nut. For spring supports, the load
can be readjusted by a corresponding adjustment of the load tube.
Under all circumstances, however, the appropriate technical department must be consulted
before attempting any load readjustment.

5.2 Sway braces, type 27

Load readjustment is made by rotating the
threaded tube (A). The large counter ring (B)
is loosened to do this. In order to maintain
the E dimension, the resulting gap is compensated for by readjustment of the guide
tube.

For sway braces, a free stroke can be set.

To do this, the guide tube (C) opposite the
inner guide rod (D) is to be unscrewed
(loosen middle lock nut). The working travel
reduces in the compression direction in
accordance with the free stroke selected.
6. Commissioning
Before commissioning it must be checked
that each hanger or support allows the precalculated movement of the piping.
The working travel of the hanger or support
can be read off at the bottom edge of the
spring plate as travel in the blocking slots,
and read directly off the travel scale.
7. Checking and maintenance
The correct functioning of the spring hangers
or supports can be checked in all operating
situations by noting the position of the
spring plates.
Under normal operating conditions no maintenance is required.
