Accurate and judicious selection of piping support is critical to

the success of a project. When we require pipe support wherein
functional or construction details are different from the
available details then a special support arrangement is
required. Proper support selection should be the objective of all
phases of design and construction.

Different Types of Special Pipe Support:
Spring Hangers/Can Type Supports

The use of spring hangers and can type supports is quite
common in critical processes and power plant units. Lines
operating at high temperature move upwards/downwards
(depending on the pipe configuration) due to thermal
expansion. Variable spring supports are useful in high
temperature, high pressure conditions as they have a spring
element that gets compressed or flexed when there is thermal
movement of pipe and related loads.
Rigid supports don’t work in such conditions and may cause

breakdown.
The spring hangers give continuous support when there is

expansion or contraction of the pipe.

supports shall be used. a message we’ll get back to you soon.

designed to withstand tensile loads. That is no compression

Rigid support consists of clamp, eye nut, tie rod, beam
attachment. The selection of rod hanger depends on pipe size,

load, temperature, insulation, assembly length etc. The
arrangement is quite simple and it is very widely used in piping.
As it comes with hinges and clamp, no substantial frictional
force comes into play.
Rod hangers offer support in the vertical direction and allows

limited motion in the horizontal direction. Adjustment in the
vertical direction is achieved by threads or a turnbuckle.
Application: To transfer piping loads on vertical structure where

Rigid Struts

elements to reduce dynamic load. They can handle both tensile
and compression loads – the struts can be provided in both

Application:Struts can be used as a substitute for guide

supports where structure is not available for using standard
guides.
Sway Braces
Sway Braces are shock arrestors, that stop all movement
caused by sudden loads in a pipe system. It is used to decrease
pipe vibration amplitude, dampen the load and reduce overall
movement. It stops the pipes from vibrating at their resonant
frequency.

Hydraulic and Mechanical Snubbers
Snubbers are devices used to restrain pipe and equipment 
movement during abnormal dynamic conditions like turbine
trips, safety/relief valve discharge, earthquakes etc. The
snubber design allows free thermal movement of a component
during normal operation conditions, but confines the
component in abnormal conditions.
Application: Snubbers are used to restrain the movement of

pipe and equipment during abnormal dynamic conditions such
as earthquakes, turbine trips, safety/relief valve discharge and
rapid valve closure.
