SUPPORTS 2010 apply to
all our shipments.
0.1
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 standar-
dization in support components can adequately
satisfy the justifiable demand for products
that are technically top-class and economi-
cally 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 preferen-
tial use of standard supports and define the
criteria as follows:
“Standard supports are pipe support com-
ponents, 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:
➜  1200°F 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, funda-
mental 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
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, opti-
mum coverage of the specific support func-
tion 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.
➜ There’s 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 stra-
tegy is to forge, out of all the cost factors in-
volved, the common cost minimum for the
user in the sense of the economic principle.
The LISEGA modular system is specially targ-
eted towards this efficiency. The standardi-
zation of components forms the foundation and
is the precondition for rational series produc-
tion, dependable quality, systematic warehou-

=====================
3.2 Scope
The standardization at LISEGA extends bey-
ond the components to their systematic inte-
raction. To this end, load and travel distri-
bution 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 indi-
vidual units form modules therein and are
compatible regarding loads and connections.
This enables the formation of meaningful com-
binations to produce support configurations
fulfilling all requirements. The large selection
of components makes adaptation possible to
widely differing support and application
situations.

3.3 Product groups
The standardized units are divided into 7 + load groups

3.4 Load groups ===================
To guarantee compatible loads in unit com-
binations, the load spectrum is split into
fixed load groups.
Within a load group (nominal load), all com-
ponents feature uniform load limits and stress
safety characteristics. The connection shapes Modular System

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 quality-
assuring measures and materials with spe-
cial certification, separate manufacture is how-
ever necessary.
In the field of nuclear application, all mate-
rials are traceable right through to the finished
product via heat number restamping, and the
components themselves are marked accor-
ding 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. non-
nuclear applications, provides the basis for
the type designations. As the given function-
al 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 how-
ever 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 TÜV
➜ AD-HPO, production and testing of
pressure vessels, by the TÜV
➜ 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 qua-
lified according to ASME III NCA 4000 NF,
DIN EN 719, AD HP3 and HP4. Non-
destructive 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 corres-
ponding to the material group by qualified
welders according to ASME IX or DIN EN
287, part 1. The welding procedure is quali-
fied according to ASME IX and DIN EN 288.

9. CONNECTION DIMENSIONS

9.1 Installation dimension E
For the simple determination of minimum
installation lengths, the installation dimen-
sion 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 desig-
nates the complete rod section.
Special product-related features are to be
taken into account as follows:
To determine the total length of the rods in Simple checks for
a load chain, all the E dimensions are to be installation possibilities
added together. The sum of these is then to through dimension “E” !
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.
For load chains consisting solely of pin con-
nections, the minimum installation dimension
follows from the sum of all E dimensions.

length
9.2.1 Turnbuckle function of the connecting
threads
For length adjustment in installation condition
(adjustment of pipe installation position, ac-
tuation of loading), the lower connections in
constant and spring hangers provide a turn-
buckle function. This way, subsequent adjust-
ment 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
➜ for spring hangers type 22,
by min. 51/2 inch [140mm]
➜ for spring hangers types 25 and 26,
the load bearing rod is fed through the
weld-on support tube and fixed with
an adjustment nut. The adjustment can
be made within the scope of the avai-
lable threaded length of the rod.
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 inde-
pendently 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 adjust-
ment. 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.
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 en-
able 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%.
load F
travel s
FN = nominal load
F min = min. load (upwards)
F max = max. load (downwards)
SN = nominal travel (incl. reserve)
For spring hangers and supports, the load
alters linearly corresponding to the spring
travel. The deviation of the spring force from
theoretical values, resulting from spring hys-
teresis and fabrication tolerances, amounts to
less than  5% within the ordered travel.

10.2 Spring relaxation

Conventional helical coil springs under load,

depending on time and temperature factors,
lose part of their tension by relaxation (sett-
measures are prescribed. They are an integral
part of order processing and embrace the
whole LISEGA group.

ling 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 ul-
timate 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, prod-
ucing corresponding prerelaxation.
Relaxation
The QMP is clearly laid out in a quality ma-
nagement 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 de-
partment 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.
The QMM applies in principle to both the con-
ventional 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.
