Cryoshoes Support Specifications

Scope

This specification covers the requirements for the design, fabrication and use of our pre-insulated low temperature pipe supports. These supports are for pipes having surface temperature ranges of –460 ˚F (-273 ˚C ) to 280 ˚F (138 ˚C ).

General Requirements

  • Cryogenic pipe supports shall comply with the following standards:
    • ANSI/ASME B31.1 & B31.3
    • Manufacturers Standardization Society SP-58, 69, & 89.
  • The following criteria shall be considered in the selection of low temperature pre-insulated pipe supports:
    • Vertical, lateral and axial support design load limits.
    • Vertical, lateral, and axial support design travel limits.
    • Temperature of the cryogenic pipe support, at the pipe surface, and ambient conditions.
    • All test or pre-operational loads that may exceed normal operating conditions.
    • Any dimensional clearances needed during installation and operation should be specified.
    • Material for any items that will be welded directly to the pipe.
    • All loading and displacements caused by seismic, hydraulic surge, or other disturbances.
    • Temperature at the support steel.
  • Upon request by the purchaser or the end user, design calculations of supports will be made available for review.
  • Upon request by the purchaser or the end user, localized stress calculations for lugs and other welded attachments will be made available for review.
  • Prior to placing an order, all special requirements such as mill test reports, material certification or non-standard materials must be specified.

Design Criteria

  • The load bearing insulating materials used in the pre-insulated pipe support shall be the same material that was used to rate the support.
  • At the request of the end user or the purchaser, we will make available compressive strength and thermal conductivity testing results of the high density polyurethane in the format provided by MSS SP-89. Testing will be done at the maximum temperature of -196°C .
  • A description of the quantity of load that can be applied to the support shall be provided for evaluation upon request. A minimum safety factor of 5 at the system design temperature shall be used to determine the maximum load.
  • Testing for compressive strength properties shall comply with ASTM D1621, the standard testing method, for compressive properties of Rigid Cellular Plastics.
  • Testing for thermal conductivity shall comply with ASTM C177, Steady State Heat Flux Measurements and Thermal Transmission Properties, by means of the Guarded Hot Plate Apparatus.
  • Load bearing element capacity shall be demonstrated at the system design temperature and load.
  • The pre-insulated pipe support assembly shall exert enough clamping force to assure that the support will move axially with the pipe and will not slip when under design conditions.
  • All slide plate surfaces shall be designed so that the coefficient of friction will be limited to .1 for the design life without requiring lubrication. Any friction reducing material that requires bonding shall be bonded to a backing structure prior to shipment.
  • High density polyurethane shall have the following maximum thermal conductivity:
    • 10 lb./cu.in. foam – .114 BTU-in/hr-ft2 – oF (.0164 W/m- o K)
    • 14 lb./cu.in. foam – .12 BTU-in/hr-ft2 – oF (.0173 W/m- o K)
    • 20 lb./cu.in. foam – .22 BTU-in/hr-ft2 – oF (.0320 W/m- o K)
  • CFC’s shall not be used in the manufacture of high-density polyurethane foam.

Fabrication

  • All polyurethane foam shall be monolithic and molded oversized so that excess material shall be removed by cutting to achieve the final finished dimensions, the outer skin shall be removed.
  • The pre-insulated pipe support shall:
    • Come pre-assembled with sufficient insulation extending past the outer metal jacket, allowing the pipe insulator to butt the line insulation against it.
    • All exposed surfaces will be coated with mastic to protect the foam from moisture and UV degradation. The mastic will have a minimum perm rating of .02 (ASTM E-96).
    • The vapor barrier between the metallic jacket and the insulating material will also have a perm rating of .02.
    • The ID and OD dimensions of the insulation shall conform to ASTM specification C585 unless otherwise specified.
  • Designs having sliding surfaces shall incorporate two slide plates at each surface. Each slide plate will be made of 3/32″ thick glass filled reinforced PTFE, 25% glass filled, bonded to a 10GA carbon steel backing plate.

Foamglas

Foamglas® Technical Information

Foamglas® insulation is a lightweight, rigid insulation composed of millions of completely sealed glass cells. Each cell serves as an insulating agent. Foamglas® is widely used in the cryogenic and hot line pipe supports and is fabricated in various ranges of shapes, thicknesses and sizes to meet the particular requirements of an application.

One unique advantage that Foamglas® has is its very low moisture absorption. Since, Foamglas® insulation is full of closed glass cells, it resists moisture in both liquid and vapor form. This guarantees the long term performance of the insulation. Foamglas® insulation’s resistance to moisture ensures that, properly installed, it retains its original thermal efficiency.

The major advantages and applications of Foamglas® insulation are listed below. For details about the physical and mechanical properties of the Foamglas® material, please refer to the table.

Major Advantages:

• Constant Insulating Efficiency
• Fire Protection
• Corrosion Resistance
• Long Term Dimensional Stability
• Physical Strength

Major Applications:

• Cryogenic and Hot Line Pipe Supports
• Cryogenic Tanks and Vessels
• Chilled and Hot Water Service Lines
• Overfit and Revitalize the Old Insulation
• Composite Insulation Systems for Special Conditions

Laminated Beechwood

Permali®/Insulam®/Laminated Beechwood Technical Information

Laminated Beechwood Technical Information Permali® or Insulam® is an insulating material used in applications which require high tensile and compressive strength (see table below). In addition, due to its exceptional resistance to moisture, it serves as a suitable insulator where the support (flare lines & dummy legs) is exposed to harsh environment elements. Permali® or Insulam® is a phenolic laminated (densified, impregnated wood) product made from carefully selected thin beechwood veneers. These wood layers are impregnated under vacuum conditions with a special synthetic resin and then densified through the application of heat and pressure. The result is a homogenous material that combines the great strength and toughness of wood fibers with the excellent stability and dielectric properties of the most advanced thermosetting. The phenolic laminated block material is furnished with cross-directional fibers as shown in Figure 10 below.

Polyurethane

Polyurethane Technical Information

 

Polyurethane foam is one of the major components of pre-insulated pipe supports manufactured at Piping Technology & Products. Polyurethane is different from most plastic materials in that it can be tailored to meet various load requirements of varying applications. Polyurethane foams are produced by reacting an equal ratio of di- or polyisocyanurates with polyols, in the presence of water, which acts as the blowing agent. Polyisocyanurates are formed when a higher ratio of di- or polyisocyanate are mixed with the polyol. All rigid foams made from polyisocyanrate systems have some form of polyurethane in them and can be called polyurethane foam. The physical properties differ very little at high densities. Polyisocyanurate foams are used in applications where dimensional stability over 200 deg F is required. However, for cryogenic applications, where your pipeline insulation is not exposed to high temperatures, PUF is an acceptable substitution.

A common method used to obtain a change in load capacity is a change in density.  At Piping Technology and Products, we offer 10 lbs. / ft3, 14 lbs. / ft3, and 20 lbs. / ft3 densities.

Density varies when the amount of blowing agent (water content) changes.  The density of polyurethane decreases with increase in water content (See Fig. 1).  This relationship can be shown as follows:

W = 3.706 / D1.126

Where: W = % of water content
D = Density of foam (lbs./ft3.)

In addition to density, the strength of a rigid urethane foam is also influenced by many factors such as catalyst, surfactant, type of mixing, the type of foaming system: base polyol and isosyanate, and the influence of each of these on the foam cell structure.
Rigid urethane foams generally have an elastic region in which stress is nearly proportional to strain. They do not exactly follow Hooke’s Law (stress is proportional to strain) because the curve is very slightly “S” shaped. Fig. 2 shows this in detail.
Polyurethane is a thermosetting material; however, it does soften slightly with increased temperature and hardens somewhat at very low temperatures. Softening at high temperatures affects the polyurethane in two ways: (a) loss of strength properties and (b) change in foam dimensions (particularly low-density foams). Low temperatures generally have very little effect on polyurethane properties other than to make them a little harder and more brittle. See Fig. 4 for these effects.

Polyurethane is anisotropic, or polyurethane is stronger in the direction of foam rise. At Piping Technology and Products, the anisotropic character or directional properties of our polyurethane is reduced by overloading the mold used to form the polyurethane. By overloading the mold, we can control the cell structure and provide uniform physical properties.  A relationship between compressive strength and the density of the foam is given in Fig. 3.

The relationships of foam’s density with its Elastic Modules in Compression, Tensile Strength, Elastic Modules in Tension, and Shear Strength are given in Figs. 6 through 9 respectively. Please see the following for the respective curves.

Piping Technology & Products has a complete manufacturing facility for production of polyurethane required for pipe supports. We invite our customers to visit our facility and observe the fabrication of insulated pipe supports of all types.

 Rigid polyurethane foams have a relatively large amount of cross-linking as the foam expands. Our suppliers of the raw chemicals control the degree of cross-linking by functionality (higher functionality produces more cross-links) and molecular weight of the components in the blend. The rigid cells provide the poured foam with strength and the interior space provides low thermal conductivity.  Water is used as the blowing agent for foam in this 10 to 40 lb. density range.

The relationship between temperature, thermal conductivity and the density of polyurethane foam is shown in Fig. 5.

1. A) Position one half of the insulated shield (insulating structural material and sheet metal jacket) on the pipe at the desired location as shown.

2. A) Gently slide the other half of the insulated shield with the     overlapping jacket into position over the previously located     half shield.

3. A) Assemble strap weldments (strap with shop welded outer thrust plates) and line up the bolt holes.

B) Install the bolts, spacers, lock washers and nuts as shown.

C) Hand tighten nuts before applying the specified torque.

D) Select torque value that correspond with the pipe size and model designation of the unit shown on Table 1. During tightening, it is recommended that the nut is turned rather than the bolt head and that the bolts be crosstorqued until the required torque has been achieved to obtain an even pressure on the structural insulation. To ensure that the bolts are properly crosstorqued by checking the spacing (B) between the ears to be approximately the same.

Note:

When models include heat trace groves, the number and location may vary. Check with design drawings for exact number and location. Ensure that the heat tracing cable is properly positioned inside the grove of the shield.

4. A) Locate and position factory supplied inner thrust plates (two on each side of the assembly) on the pipe. See below for locating and positioning the inner thrust plates on the pipe. When properly positioned weld them to the pipe as shown.

Note:

In order to act properly as designed, it is important that there is a zero clearance between the inner thrust plates and structural insert. It is recommended that the inner thrust plates be clamped tight against the structural insert before welding and remained clamped until the weld has completely colled-off to avoid or minimize shrinkage and/or distortion due to welding. If ther eis axial clearance, cut galvanied sheet metal shims to the same outline as the inner thrust plates and isntall them to reduce this clearance to zero.

1. A) Center the base weldment assembly (bottom strap with shop welded outer thrust plates) under the applicable support location on the pipe section as shown.

2. A) Insert the lower half shield (structural insulation material and sheet metal jacket) between the outer thrust plates and under the pipe as shown.

3. A) Place the upper half shield (structural insulation material and sheet metal jacket) over the pipe and lower half shield installed in Step 2 as shown.

4. A) Assemble top strap weldment assembly. Top strap with shop welded outer thrust plates over the upper half shield and install the bolts through the clamp ears with nuts on top.

B) Apply the torque on the bolts, select torque value that correspond with the pipe size and model designation of the unit shown on Table 1 below. During tightening, it is recommended that the nut is turned rather than the bolt head and that the bolts be cross-torqued until the required torque has been achieved to obtain an even pressure on the structural insulation.

C) Ensure that the bolts are properly cross-torqued. by checking the spacing “B” between the ears to be approximately the same.

5. A) Locate and position factory supplied inner thrust plates (two on each side of the assembly) on the pipe. Locate and position the inner thrust plates on the pipe. When properly positioned weld them to the pipe shown (see Table 1 for the weld size.)

6. A) Weld base of anchor assembly to support member as shown. Select “W” (Weld Size) that correspond with the pipe size and model designation of the unit. Shown on Table 1.

Note:

In order to act properly as designed, it is important that there is a zero clearance between the inner thrust plates and structural insert. It is recommended that the inner thrust plates be clamped tight against the structural insert before welding and remained clamped until the weld has completely cooled off to avoid or minimize shrinkage and/or distortion due to welding. If theren is axial clearance, cut galvanized sheet metal shims to the same outline as the inner thrust plates and install them to reduce this clearance to zero.

B3300-B4300

1. A) Remove the mounting screw from the slide pad and slide base restraint weldment.

B) Temporarily separate the slide pad from the restraint weldment.

C) Locate and position the restraint weldment on the steel  support to meet the required piping analysis  cold settings (see below for P.S.I. recommended cold settings). Please note that required piping analysis cold settings governs over P.S.I. recommendations.

D) When properly positioned, weld restraint weldment to support steel as shown. Select (W) weld size that correspond with the pipe size and model designation of the unit.

E) Place slide pad on restraint weldment and install  with the mounting screws.

B3000-B3300

Model: B3000 – B3300

 

2. Position bottom half of the insulated shield into the base assembly. Ensure that the inserts are properly located over the strap(s) by checking that:

A) Each end of shield shall have equal distance (c) from outer edge of strap (Figure A or A1).

B) The 180° section of the bottom half shield shall be parallel to the support base (Figure 8).

B4000-B4300

Model: B4000-B4300

3. A) Slide the base assembly and bottom half shield under the pipe.
(B) Position the base assembly on the restraint weldment to allow for anticipated axial travel.

Notes:
When models include heat trace groves, the number and location may vary. Check with design drawings for exact number and location. Ensure that the heat tracing cable is properly positioned inside the grove of the shield.

B3000-B3300

Model: B3000 – B3300

4. A) Slide the top half shield into position above the bottom-half shield.

B) Gently place the top strap into position above the bottom strap and line-up the bolt holes.

B4000-B4300

Model: B4000-B4300

5. A) Install the bolts, lockwashers and nuts and hand tighten. For ease of bolt torquing, install the bolts with the nuts on top.

B) Apply torque on the bolts. Select torque value that corresponds with the pipe size and model designation of the unit shown on table 1 for model B3000-B3300 and table 2 for B4000-B4300. When tightening, it is recommended that the nut is turned rather than the bolt head and that the bolts are cross-torqued until the required torque has been achieved to obtain an even pressure on the structural insulation.

C) Ensure that the bolts are properly cross-torqued by checking the spacing “B” between the ears to be approximately the same (see Figure B).

Note:

These units are designed for specific axial travel. Prior to tightening of the bolts, the unit may require cold setting (see figure A & A1 for recommended axial cold setting instructions for this unit).

PT&P Manufactures and Installs an 85 ft. Pipe Rack and Pipe Spools

PT&P supplied “on-time delivery” of two industrial structural steel pipe racks and the accompanying pipe spools that would be attached to storage tanks measuring approximately 120 ft. in diameter and over 85 ft. tall. Pre-Engineered Pipe Racks attached to storage tanks are used in a wide range of industries from Waste Water Treatments plants, Community Water Storage Tanks, to Above Ground Storage Tanks used in Refineries, Natural Gas, and Petrochemical plants.

PT&P leveraged its breadth of manufacturing and engineering capabilities to reduce costs for its client in the deployment of this Pipe Rack. Our focus was to complete as much work as possible in our production facility, where costs are typically far lower than in the field. We made adjustments to the design to aid in-field deployment to minimize total overall costs. Ptp pipe racks large tank application 181868 300pxwThis project also leveraged our capabilities with structural steel, pipe spools, TPI, and insulation. We have all of these capabilities in-house, which made it easy to fabricate the complex structures in this project.

Each pipe rack had an overall dimension of 12 ft. wide and 113 ft. tall and was fabricated from carbon steel. Due to the overall length, each frame was shop fabricated in two sections in order to transport each to the job site. Additionally, each frame was provided with lifting lugs designed by PT&P to facilitate both, the transporting of each frame half-section and the subsequent vertical lift of each completed unit. Each pipe rack was fitted with 9 pipe spools ranging in diameter from 2″ to 12″ (6 were insulated pipe spools, 3 non-insulated pipe spools). The pipe material used to fabricate the pipe spools were SA-53, SA-106, and SA-333.

Six of the pipe spools were supplied pre-insulated. At the ends of each section of pipe spool, there were bare sections of pipe where PT&P Field Service would later perform “tie-in welds” in the field.

After completing shop fabrication, the pipe racks were prepared to be transported to the job site location for final assembly before installation by PT&P Field Services. This consisted of bolting the two halves of the pipe rack together and completing the “tie-in welds” at each pipe spool connection. All of the “tie-in welds” were examined and verified by X-ray analysis. After completion of all the “tie-in welds”, PT&P Insulation Department installed insulation in the field on the 6 pipe spools requiring insulation at these connection points.

Ptp rod hangers 181868
Rigid Rod Hangers

Each section of pipe spool was supported from the top of the rack by a rigid rod hanger also supplied by PT&P. Rod hanger assemblies are round steel bars normally threaded used to connect other components, such as pipe support hardware, to make a pipe hanger assembly. PT&P’s field service team installed the main pipe rack with seven pipe spools each over 86 ft. long on large storage tanks. The pipe spools were positioned on the pipe rack steel using special U-bolts to “guide” the piping.

U-bolts are u-shaped rods with threaded ends, that fit around a pipe and are attached to a supporting member. These U-bolts were coated in plastic to prevent corrosion between the pipe and U-bolt material. Additionally, Thermal Plastic Isolators (TPI) was also used to prevent corrosion between the pipe rack steel and the pipe spools. TPI can be customized in height, width, length of TPI, hole sizes, hole locations, and special shapes.

Also installed on the Insulated pipe spools were FRP wear pads that rested on the thermoplastic Isolator. FRP is also known as non-metallic wear pads, which are used for corrosion protection for uninsulated piping systems to extend the life of the pipe.

High-Temperature Supports Designed for a Petrochemical Plant

Pipeshields insulated supports 138055

Pipe Shields, Inc., a division of PT&P designed pre-insulated pipe supports for a high-temperature pipeline at a petrochemical plant overseas. This style of insulated support is designed to be compact, easy to install and eliminate the need for field welding. The insulation is 5-1/2″ thick utilizing 18 lb. and 28 lb. pcf high-density calcium silicate. The “hot shoes” are fabricated from carbon steel and hot-dipped galvanized for corrosion protection. They are rated for temperatures from +40°F to +1800°F. Q.C. inspections and dimensional tests were performed before an expedited shipment.

Such insulated supports are used for chilled water, hot water, and steam line applications in industries ranging from pharmaceutical, semiconductor, paper mills, chemical plants, data centers, biofuels, and food processing to name a few. Piping Technology and Products, through its subsidiary, industry leader, and pioneer, Pipe Shields, has supplied to all these markets in the USA and internationally for over 45 years. Most recently, we made a large investment to automate manufacturing in our Houston plant to increase throughput and yield to support our customers’ needs for just-in-time deliveries reducing cash requirements on projects.
