The current expanded range of variable effort supports are designed keeping in mind the space constraints imposed by modern industrial complexes generating power, Refining petroleum products and off shore rigs. The design lends itself to application of high performance paints which are being increasingly specified by clients who are conscious of degradation & corrosion due to process and environmental conditions.
Pipe lines constructed of steel will expand along its axis by an amount equal to its co-eff of thermal expansion when carrying hot or cold fluids. The pipe lines when suspended from Variable effort supports will allow this thermal expansion or contraction relative to structure and at the same time support the weight of the pipe to prevent sagging.
Pipe Hanger & Supports offer a wide range of Variable effort supports right from 3.43 Kgs to 39120 Kgs spread across several travel, load & support configuration types Available in the following variation
VS1- 35mm
VS2-70mm
VS3-140mm
VS4-210mm
VS5-280mm
With 29 spring sizes (Size 1 to Size 29) within each travel
range. Newly introduced High load variable series to cater for
large loads using multi -coil configuration:
VS1- 35mm
VS2-70mm
VS3-140mm
With 7 spring sizes ( Size H1 to H7) within each travel range.
A, B, C     Top Supported
D      Top Adjustable
E      Extended Support
F      Base mounted
G      Trapeze type double
The Pipe Hangers & Supports range of Variable Effort Supports are designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of the following
BS3974 ANSI / ASME B31.1 / ANSI / ASME B31.3 ANSI / MSS SP-58 / ANSI / MSS SP69
