Constant Spring Hanger

Fixed supports are primarily used to support pipes and equipment subject to vertical movement due to thermal expansion at locations where the transfer of stresses to other supports or equipment may be important. They are used in main pipelines where the magnitude of stress on the pipe or equipment must vary almost zero.

  • Fixed spring hangers, often referred to as constant springs, provide fixed support for piping and equipment subjected to vertical movement due to thermal expansion at locations where constant stress must be maintained. This fixed resistance is achieved by using two moment arms rotating about a common point. The load is suspended on one of these arms and a spring is attached to the other arm. With appropriate choice of arms and spring characteristics, it is possible to create a resistance that is virtually independent of position. As with variable springs, Spring Type refers to the connection of the fixed spring to the structure and piping.
  • Travel stops are installed in all springs prior to shipping. They are required during installation and any hydraulic testing, but must be removed prior to normal operation. They are usually pins, but may be latches in some cases. In either case, the load must be adjusted so that the travel stop can be easily removed.
  • Circumspect: Do not use force to secure the travel stops.
