Custom Pipe Design and Fabrication Capabilities for Utility Support Systems
ISAT Pre-Insulated Pipe Features and Benefits: Our in-house custom pre-insulated pipe supports engineering and fabrication team lessons learned to design supports that are easily implemented and primarily use available “off the shelf” components to minimize fabrication and construction lead times.
Extended Base Plate – For Underside Welding
Upon request, ISAT will manufacture the support baseplate wider than the supporting steel member so that all welded connections are located below the bottom plate of the support.
This strategy can be implemented to overcome space constraints, or to facilitate a specific installation sequence. However it has been proven to significantly reduce welding and could be considered a best practice at all support locations.
Constant Pressure Sleeve
Our unique Constant Pressure Sleeve (CPS) is the most advanced pipe clamping method in the industry. The assembly utilizes high strength steel sleeves welded to both the upper and lower support components. Belleville washers are placed in line with the fasteners to apply constant pipe clamping force between the upper and lower component.
This system is engineered to prevent displacement between the process pipe and the pipe support, while maintaining a constant clamping force throughout the operational temperature range of the utility.
Bent Ear Design (other Manufacturers)
Other manufacturers utilize a bent ear design, relying on the elasticity of the bent ear to maintain the clamping force throughout the pipe utility’s temperature range. This system is less responsive to the expansion and contraction experienced by piping during normal thermal cycles.
Continuous Vapor Barrier
The vapor barrier creates a shield against the elements and is essential to the integrity of an effective cold support system.
The insulation in our Low Temperate Range Supports include an integral zero permeability vapor barrier which protrudes past the sheet metal jacket. Unlike other manufacturing processes, this method leaves an exposed strip of vapor barrier which can be sealed to form an airtight barrier between the pipe and the outside environment.
This unique construction method enables the field installed insulation and vapor barrier to extend directly to the support’s insulating material. The vapor barriers of the pipe and support are then unified using a sealing tape which forms a continuous vapor barrier along the entire pipe run. This construction method and installation process controls condensation which can lead to water damage, field corrosion and diminished thermal insulation.
Stepped Insulation Profile
Insulation profiles can be stepped both radially and longitudinally, to tie in with the same layering thickness as the line insulation to prevent a straight heat path to the pipe. This process increases thermal heat loss or gain, as well as limits condensation.
