 SPRING HANGERS
SPRING SUPPORTS
To prevent constraints in
the system, thermal
expansion in the piping
and other piping compo-
nents must not be hinde-
red. The piping must there-
fore be supported in a cor-
respondingly elastic man-
ner.

Spring elements
To compensate for slight vertical displace-
ments 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 character-
istics. 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 guide-
lines. See Technical Specifications, page 0.5.
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 suspen-
sion. It is installed wherever
the surrounding location
offers a suitable connection
point and sufficient
space. The upper
connections can be
universally adapted
with standard com-
ponents to any given
situation.
Spring hangers, type 25
This type is frequently used for
its simple installation, just sea-
ting 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 sus-
pension, 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 sup-
port system. To take precautions
against this, the use of PTFE bearings is
recommended. In this case the counter bea-
ring should have a stainless steel surface.

Type 29 with PTFE
slide plate.
Recommended use of PTFE slide plates for
spring supports type 29
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 fric-
tional forces are completely
excluded at all levels of move-
ment, 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 com-
ponents. An additional damping effect is
obtained at the same time. The connection
parts correspond with those of Product
Group 3.
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 elec-
tronically 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.
➜ 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
2
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 move-
ment (travel) and the spring rate.
The load difference between the cold and
hot positions acts on the piping as a reac-
tion force and is limited by the relevant
design specifications.
Angulating spring support,
Generally, the max. permissible load devia-
type 20
tion amounts to 25% of the operating load.
Above and beyond that, constant hangers
exerting a constant supporting load over the
whole travel range are to be used.
Selection of spring hangers
A decisive factor for the reaction force is the
stiffness of the spring rate value of the res-
pective coil springs. To cover the widest pos-
sible field of application using spring han-
gers, the load ranges are divided into 5 tra-
vel 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 Spring rates Design types

The permissible force variation between
cold load (installation load) position to
hot load (operating load) position is
limited internationally by common speci-
fications 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.
To cover as wide a field of applications The selection of the suitable design
as possible while adhering to these type depends upon the respective sup-
standards, LISEGA spring elements are port configuration or installation situ-
divided into 5 travel ranges with cor- ation.
respondingly different spring rates.
Economical unit size
Extra long springs To find the most economical size, the
Travel ranges 4 & 5 relate to extra long following procedures apply:
springs and should only be used after
technical evaluation of the whole situ-
ation, especially in sensitive piping
systems.

Spring hangers and sup-
ports are used to compen-
sate for the thermal move-
ment to be expected in
piping systems. For
trouble-free functioning,
correct installation is
essential, observing the
following instructions:

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 Angulated spring support,
the bottom a turnbuckle. The threads are filled type 20
 with grease and sealed with plastic caps.

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 Spring hanger, type 26
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 con-
nection to weld-on bracket type 35 or dyna-
mic 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 possibili-
ties are the norm:
1. The connecting rods are to be installed at
an angle corresponding to the horizontal dis-
Sway brace, type 27
placement to be expected. A vertical position
of the rods is expected under normal opera-
ting conditions.
2. The connecting rods are to be installed
vertically for easier checking. A controlled
angled position under normal operating con-
ditions 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
3.1 Spring hangers, type 21
Attachment rods vertical during
plant operation Connection is made by screwing the connec-
ting 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.
cold position 3.2 Spring hanger, type 22
hot position 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.
Case 2
Attachment rods vertical in
installation condition
2.17
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 actu-
ated 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 wel-
ding 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 connec-
ted 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 adjust-
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

Under all circumstances, however, the approp-

 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 Hydraulic
Before commissioning it must be checked cylinder
that each hanger or support allows the pre-
calculated 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, Hydraulic
and read directly off the travel scale. cylinder

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 main-
tenance is required.
