Design Features: Travel Stop: The functional design of the

• Precompression.
Precompressing the spring into the hanger casing provides the
following advantages:
1. Saves up to 50% in headroom by reducing the length of
the hanger.
2. Reduces the installed height of the overall hanger assembly.
3. Prevents the spring supporting force from exceeding the normal
safe limits of variations.
4. Saves valuable erection time because spring is precompressed
close to ¾ of the working range.
Calibration: All ASC Engineered Solutions™ Variable Spring Hangers
and supports are calibrated for accurate loading conditions.
• Load indicator is clearly seen in the slot, simplifying reading
of the scale plate. Load is read from bottom of indicator.
• Cold set at the factory upon request.
• Spring and casing are fabricated of steel and are rugged
and compact.
• Piston cap serves as a centering device or guide maintaining
spring alignment.
• Casing protects the spring from damage and weather conditions.
pre-compressed variable spring hanger
permits the incorporation of a two-piece
travel stop that locks the hanger spring
against upward or downward movement
for temporary conditions of underload or
overload. The complete travel stop, the
up travel stop only for cold set purposes
or the down travel stop only which may
be employed during erection, hydrostatic
test (ASC permits a hydrostatic test load of
2 times the normal operating load for the
spring hanger) or chemical clean out will be
furnished only when specified. The travel stop is painted red and is
installed at the factory with a caution tag attached calling attention
that the device must be removed before the pipe line is put in
service. Permanently attached travel stops available upon request.

CAUTION
Corrosion Resistant: ASC offers corrosion-resistant and weather- TAG
resistant (either galvanized or zinc based primer) Variable Spring
Hangers to fill vital needs in the chemical and refinery industries as
well as in modern outdoor power plant construction. For protection
against severe weather conditions or moderate corrosive conditions,
the parts of the hanger are galvanized per ASTM A-153 or painted Approvals:
with zinc based primer, except for the spring which has a protective WW-H-171E (Types 51, 56 and 57), ANSI/MSS SP-69 and MSS SP-58
coating and the load column for Type F which is electro-galvanized. (Types 51, 52 and 53).
Advantages of a Protective Coating: Specifications:
• Protects from a wide range of corrosives. ASC Variable Spring Hangers are welded in strict accordance with
ASME Section IX.
• Does not affect the flex life of the spring.
• Recommended for ambient temperatures up to 200° F.
